Prayer Meeting Arrangement

It is as impossible to enjoy social freedom and warmth in a prayer-meeting where the people are widely scattered, as it would be to enjoy a social call if your friend occupied one and yourself the other corner of a large double parlor and conversed either loudly or inaudibly. No one would be disposed to repeat such a call. Nobody will go twice to such a prayer-meeting, if conscience will allow him to stay away. Good people unconsciously ruin their prayer-meetings, and then complain of their own work or of their leader. Blessed is the church that has a prayer-room with semi-circular sittings facing each other and the leader, where all are compelled to be equally distant.—Advocate.
