Notes from the Northwoods

"God has a love for the dwellings of Jacob, has a gracious regard to religious families and accepts their family-worship. Yet he loves the gates of Zion better, not only better than any, but better than all, of the dwellings of Jacob. God was worshipped in the dwellings of Jacob, and family-worship is family-duty, which must by no means be neglected yet, when they come in competition, public worship is to be preferred before private.... Let us not be ashamed of the church of Christ in its meanest condition, nor of any that belong to it, nor disown our relation to it, though it be turned ever so much to our reproach, since such glorious things are spoken of it, and not on iota or tittle of what is said shall fall to the ground."
