ORDER OF EXERCISES IN V. M. MEETINGS.

By S. N. Haskell

  1. Singing.
  2. Prayer.
  3. Reading the minutes of the previous meeting.
  4. Reading of letters received during the week.
  5. Any action that may be necessary to be taken on cases presented by these letters, as, sending the Signs six months, more or less, to any person at the expense of the society.
  6. Receiving the addresses of individuals to whom Signs are to be sent.
  7. The consideration of cases requiring assistance, pecuniarily or otherwise, and any other business.
  8. Distribution of the Signs.
  9. Close with prayer.
Strict order should be preserved. The presiding officer should be respected. Two members should never be allowed to talk at the same time, and order should be maintained the same as in other religious meetings. “God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” 1 Cor. 14:33.
V. M. meetings should not hold over one hour unless there is some special interest.
