Propriety at the Benediction

The Golden Rule, referring to the confusion often observed in church during the benediction, remarks very pertinently: "If a clergyman will stand and reverently wait for perfect silence before beginning the benediction, and enforce propriety by a gentle word of exhortation, if necessary, he will soon have control of the situation. A little more deliberation would become many preachers. Remember there is no occasion for haste. Cultivate a talent for waiting. Dismiss your congregation like a company of Christian ladies and gentlemen, in the house of God; and don't let them disperse like a ward caucus."
