We have no reason to be discouraged and cast down, if the religion we profess is not popular, and few agree with us. We must remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ ... “The gate is narrow.” Repentance, and faith in Christ, and holiness of life have never been fashionable. The true flock of Christ has always been small... This is “the narrow way.” Surely it is better to enter into life eternal with a few, than to go to “destruction” with a great company.
