Still, faithful young Edison comes by himself, week after week, month after month, and I can only imagine how pleased Jehovah is to see his effort. The next time a bible student won't come to the meeting unless they get driven to and from, I hope this sheds some light on the importance of an individual commitment to meeting ...
