In reply to MARILYN MCPHERSON.

Hi Marilyn,
Last evening I made a point to check the clock after hymn1, readings, prayer, hymn2, and notices. We were only 20-25 minutes into the time. I just now reread the selections within 16 minutes. I also try to read at a reasonable pace with inflection and pauses...I don't believe I'm flying through the reading. So I think we typically will have approximately 40 minutes for testimonies and comments.
I once read a suggestion to have 40 Bible verses and 90 SH lines to achieve a balanced 15-20 minute reading. I don't stay rigidly with this, but it seems a good guide. This week's citations were on the heavier side.
...cheers and blessing to you.
