THE PLAN HEREIN will be found a complete Order of Service for twenty-six Sabbaths, so arranged that those who are deprived of sanctuary privileges may have not only the Sermon, but appropriate Prayers, Scripture Lessons and Hymns. It is hoped that many of the aged, sick and those otherwise disabled or far removed from opportunities of worship may thus be enabled at their homes to unite in spirit with those who are privileged to sit together at appointed times in the blessed fellowship of the House of God. The book may be found useful, also, in conducting the Worship of Congregations that are without Pastors, the Order of Service being so arranged that any Church Officer or other suitable person can lead it. SIXTEENTH SERVICE The Triumphs of a Disappointed Man. SEVENTEENTH SERVICE An Interrupted Meeting. EIGHTEENTH SERVICE The Ministry of Angels. NINETEENTH SERVICE 235 The Happy End of God's Correction. FIRST SERVICE 1. INVOCATION FATHER in heaven, I* thank thee for this hour. May I, in this sacred hour, have fellowship with those who, in the sanctuaries of the world, draw near to thee. Bless them and bless me; for Jesus' sake. Amen. 2. HYMN: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty." 3. SCRIPTURE LESSON Exodus 33. 4. PRAYER O God, give me a vision of thyself to-day. For this is life eternal, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. Help me to hide in the cleft of the rock and hear, if nothing more, the rustle of thy garment as thou passest by. Unveil thy beauty in the face of thine only-begotten Son. Show me thy love, the love that passeth *In the service of the congregation the plural pronoun should be used throughout. †This hymn, like others in the book, should be sung or read in full. The hymns used in these Services may be found in almost any of the hymn-books. They are all in "The Good News," published by the American Tract Society, 25 cents, postpaid. |
