Each one is bound to take an intelligent part in the life and work of the Church, and this obligation cannot well be discharged apart from regular attendance at the Church Meeting. This gathering, however, should be something more than a mere business meeting ; for not only does the Church then attend to those matters which concern its prosperity, but it realises its true function as the organ of Jesus Christ. The meeting of men and women, as a Church, is a solemn occasion. Whether those presen...t are 100 Tht Private Assemblies many or few, Christ is in their midst ; and if for a moment they forget His presence, they are disloyal both to Him and to themselves. At all Church Meetings the pastor, if present, should preside. The first fifteen minutes, at least, should be given to praise and prayer, after which the business may proceed. This should be regulated according to an agenda, drawn up at the previous deacons 1 meeting. It will be well to keep to this agenda. Experience has shewn that order is needful, and if all things in a Church Meeting are to be done with wisdom and discretion, some rules must be followed.
