When the tabernacle meetings
commence it is intended to hold a
cottage prayer meeting in each dis
trict every weekday morning at 10
o'clock. with the possible exception
Of Monday morning. These morning
meetings are to last only half an
hour. They are not intended to be
"dress". affairs. They are expected
to. be neighborhood gatherings Of
friends for few moments of devo-
tion in the midst of busy morning.
Without dressing UP the women Of
a neighborhood can get together for
a few moments of prayer. It is rec
ognized that these meetings will nee
essarily be attended mostly by wom-
en-, for the men will be away at their
work. 1t is the experience Of taber-
nacle workers that such a series of
meetings constitute a great dynamo
Of spiritSal power.
All who wish to entertain these
prayer meetings should communicate
at once with the captain Of their
own district. Any who are willing
to lead meeting should do the same.
