32. Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people. Thanks for such mercies should be given in public in the place where
people congregate for worship. And praise him in the assembly of the elders.
The praise should be presented with great solemnity in the presence of men of
years, experience, and influence. High and weighty service should be rendered
for great and distinguished favors, and therefore let the sacrifice be
presented with due decorum and with grave seriousness. When a heart has been in
great spiritual storms and has at last found peace, there will follow as a duty
and a privilege the acknowledgment of the Lord’s mercy before his people, and
it is well that this should be done in the presence of those who hold office in
the church, and who from their riper years are better able to appreciate the
testimony.
