Remedies Suggested. The following remedial measures are suggested by the commission "Pastors should be led to see that the order of worship ia to create spiritual atmosphere, to 'deepen the consetounes Of God's prcssawtf "to'StlKHihtto rejiglous feeling, and to give free expression to the adoration and praise of the worshiper.
