A Small Audience.

ONE of the Saviour's most delightful discourses, second only to the sermon on the Mount, is that delivered at Jacob's Well to but one listener—and that one a poor despised Samaritan woman. It encourages the heart of a minister, of course, to be able to preach to multitudes—often it fosters vanity and pride. But let him not count it condescension, when the occasion calls for it, to speak the truths of the Gospel to solitary listeners, or to “two or three,” gathered together in the name of Jesus. For he that converteth one sinner from the error of his way, saves a soul from death, and hides a multitude of sins.—Sel.
