ORDER OF CHURCH SERVICE

From the October 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In answer to questions from the field, the following is here reprinted.—Editor.

TO THE CHURCH OF CHRIST (SCIENTIST), BOSTON.

Beloved Brethren:—I recommend that you lay aside all that is ceremonial even in appearance in our Church, and adopt this simple service.

Before the sermon read one hymn, sing once. Read selection from a chapter in the Bible, and, if agreeable to pastor and Church, a corresponding paragraph from Science and Health. Repeat alternately the Lord's Prayer, the pastor repeating the first sentence and the audience the following one. Unite in silent prayer for all who are present, Close with reading hymn, singing, silent prayer, and the benediction.
Yours lovingly in Christ,
