CHAPTER
XVII.
CONDUCT
IN
CHURCH.
In
entering
a
church
of
a
different
denomination
from
the
one
you
have
been
in
the
habit
of
frequenting,
ask
the
sexton
to
show
you
to
a
seat.
It
is
the
height
of
rudeness
to
enter
a
pew
without
invitation,
as
the
owner
may
desire,
if
her
family
do
not
require
all
the
seats,
to
invite
her
own
personal
friends
to
take
the
vacant
places.
If
you
are
not
perfectly
familiar
with
the
manner
of
conducting
the
worship,
observe
those
around
you,
rise,
kneel,
and
sit,
as
you
see
they
do.
It
is
a
mark
of
disrespect
for
the
pastor
as
well
as
irreverence
for
the
Most
High,
to
remain
seated
through
the
whole
service,
unless
you
are
ill,
or
otherwise
incapacitated
from
standing
and
kneeling.
Enter
the
sacred
edifice
slowly,
reverentially,
and
take
your
seat
quietly.
It
is
not
required
of
you
to
bow
to
any
friend
you
may
see
in
passing
up
the
aisle,
as
you
are
supposed
yourself
to
be,
and
suppose
her
to
be
entirely
absorbed
in
thought
proper
for
the
occasion.
To
stare
round
the
church,
or
if
you
are
not
alone,
to
whisper
to
your
companion,
is
irreverent,
indelicate,
and
rude.
If
your
own
feelings
will
not
prompt
you
to
silence
and
reverence,
pay
some
regard
to
the
feelings
of
others.
Be
careful
not
to
appear
to
notice
those
around
you.
If
others
are
so
rude
as
to
talk
or
conduct
improperly,
fix
your
own
mind
upon
the
worship
which
you
come
to
pay,
and
let
the
impertinence
pass
unheeded.
