“Peek-a-boo.”

By G. W. A.

How it looks to a person, who, unfortunately being obliged to come into church in prayer time, sees from twenty to fifty pair of eyes staring at him on his entering. Is it right for professed Christians in the midst of the sacred act of worshiping God, to have their minds diverted from so holy an act and to stare and look about the room in prayer time, and investigate every little noise which may happen to occur? Says the Saviour, “Watch unto prayer,” and an apostle, “Let all things be done decently and in order.” Brethren and sisters of the third angel’s message, let us never act peek-a-boo in time of prayer.
