IS IT REASONABLE ?
If you want amusement, you must pay for it— 2s, 4s, or even 6s a seat. If you want medical services, you must pay for them— ss, 10s, or even a guinea a visit. If you want religious services, why in the name of justice and common sense, should some folks expect to get them for nothing — or next to nothing ? Ask this to yourself, honestly, fairly, and squarely : — How much last year did my amusement cost me— the club, theatre, sports, balls, dinner parties, even cards ? How much was I obliged to spend in medical advice and medicine for the safety of my body ? How much was I obliged to spend on legal help for the safety of my person and property. How much did I spend on religion for the happiness, health, and safety of my soul ? How much every /week or month do I give for the support of the Ministry, the administration of the Sacraments, and the preaching of the Word ?
