HINTS FOR CHURCH ATTENDANTS.
1. PREPARE for divine service in your closet, not at your toilet. 2. Be early at church, and occupy the moments before service with meditation and prayer. 3. Consider the sermon, no matter who may be the preacher, as a message from God, not as an effort of man. 4. Pray before, during, and after the service, for the minister and your fellow-worshipers. 5. In God's house all should be “kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love, in honor preferring one another.” Greet cordially those around you; welcome strangers into your pews; but let all be done reverently and for the glory of God. 6. Give according to your means. If you spend money for dress and luxuries, do not stint your offerings for God's house. Always begin to economize with self first, and with God last. 7. Carry your religion into your daily life.
