"...Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." (Heb. 10:25)

There was once a pioneer preacher who was holding a Gospel Meeting, and knowing the membership, and seeing the very poor attendance on the first night, he stayed away the second night. When the brethren asked him where he was, he replied, "If some can stay home, so can I." After this was circulated in the community, the attendance was very good for the rest of the Meeting.
