We were specially interested in the remarks made with reference to the character of the meetings held in Egypt. Our brethren there have evidently read with profit and intelligence 1 Cor. 14. It would be well if we did so in this land. In Egypt all the meetings are conducted on the lines of 1 Cor. 14. When the Church assembles everything is left to the guidance of the Spirit of God. They do not come together for reading meetings or for lectures, not even for prayer meetings. They simply come together and leave it to the Spirit of God to guide what shall be the character of each meeting. Sometimes it partakes more of the character of prayer, sometimes of worship, sometimes of edification, sometimes of reading―but never decided beforehand which it shall be.
We are persuaded that this is where we deprive ourselves of an immense blessing. It has long been our conviction.
