I. It is not to be determined by the mere number of the congregation.

II. Neither is prosperity determined by the wealth of the Church. History shows us that the days of least usefulness of the Church have been the days of its greatest wealth.

IV. The way to judge of the prosperity of a Church is to see if it accomplishes the purpose for which it was organized.

(W. L. Harris.)
