How to Improve Prayer Meetings

"Only a prayer-meeting!" said brother Lake. Too often, indeed, these prayer-meetings are so dull as to almost justify brother Lake's reference to them. How can we improve them?
  1. Put more thought into them.
  2. Come with more will to the service.
  3. Put more Bible into them.
  4. Have more children present.
  5. Let the prayers be shorter.
  6. Let the singing be more spirited.
  7. Don't let them drag.
  8. Let the air of the room be purer.
  9. Make the room lighter.
  10. Last and first and all-important, let them be full of faith in God and his word.—S. S. Journal.
