Nehemiah 7:72

And that which the rest of the people gave.

The rest of the people gave

It is a great misfortune when any Christian effort is supported by the contributions of the few and not of the many. All should be encouraged to contribute so far as they are able. Workers, too, should, as their means admit of, subscribe towards the expenses of work. “What people pay for they will pray for, and what they pray for they will pay for.” (W. P. Lockhart.).
