Kneeling During Prayer

A CORRESPONDENT of the California Christian Advocate writes to know if the rule of the church requiring members to kneel during prayer in church cannot be changed so as to allow them to sit. He says that only a few old Puritans kneel before the congregation and that he supposes they do so only out of respect to the rule; also that kneeling has been found to be a great deal of trouble, and there is often more or less damage to valuable clothing. The tendency seems to be to make even the form of worship which is retained as easy as possible.
