教會注意事項一：關於教會中的禱告(續二)

有些時候，被邀請擔任閉會祈禱的弟兄姊妹講話聲音很小，也許連坐在隔壁的人也聽不清楚，關於這件事：
Francis M. Lyman會長說：

當你禱告時，一個正當的規範是要講的足夠大聲，使所有的人都能聽到。

要了解禱告的規範，並避免錯誤的作法。

"If you pray......, one propriety is to speak loud enough for all to hear."

"Understand the proprieties in prayer, and shun the improprieties." (Improvement Era, vol. 

SO, pp. 214, 245.)

Hartman Rector, Jr. 長老說：

要以清楚的聲音祈禱，讓所有在場的人都聽得見，也能理解。不要太大聲，也不要小聲到只有旁邊的人聽得見。

祈禱時，不需要用特殊的聲調，用平常講話的聲調即可。

"The prayer should be offered clearly in a voice that can be heard and understood by all in attendance, not in a loud voice, but neither so low that only those nearby can hear. "
"No tone other than the normal speaking voice should be used."(Prayer, No specific author, Our Prayers in Public)
