The Rest of the People Gave
Nehemiah 7:72
And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pound of silver…


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.).
