and Hermon C. Metcalf conducted a quiet
hour service. The model prayer meeting
was intended to give suggestions for meet
ings and illustrated the following points:
1. Let there be an abundance of prayer
cifc, for the Q meeting, (2) pastor, (3)
music and az leader. 2. Open the meeting
differently at different times, as with the
organ leading. with silent prayer, the re-
cital of creed and Gloria" 8. Three hymns
are sometimes enough. Let the singing be
into two sections. 4. Ask about sick ones
and request prayer for them. 8. Have
prayer offered or the Scripture read g..
Let the leader dwell on the gist of the
subject instead Of trying to cover too much
ground Z. Sometimes two minutes to each
member participating are plenty, and It
encourages the timid to add their word.
g. No meeting can ever have too much
prayer. These meetings and Christian En-
deavor prayer meeting-never lose SIGHT
of that cardinal fact. 8. Read Scripture
from both authorized and revised versions.
