CONGREGATIONAL  SINGING.
 0 
The  whole  ooDgrcgatioo  is  requested  to  unite  in  the  ser-
vice of  song,  aa  well  as  in  the  service  of  prayer.  Those
who  are  infirm,  will  be  excused  if  they  retain  their  seats
while  the  people  praise  the  Lord,  with  Psalm  or  Hymn;
but  all  who  have  sufficient  physical  Btrength,  should  con-
form to  the  established  custom,  of  standing  up  to  sing.
Indolence  is  a  hindrance  to  devotion  in  ourselves,  and  a
clog  upon  the  worship  of  others.
