Yesterday’s answer:
D Pass the collection plate around
at Sacrament meeting
From the 1839 mission to England: In addition to these
minor differences in organization, there were some interesting differences in
Church practice. There were no regular sacrament meetings as Latter-day Saints
know them today. Rather, there were prayer or preaching meetings, sometimes in
homes and sometimes in rented halls or chapels, where the sacrament of the
Lord’s Supper was often administered. Collection boxes frequently were passed
in such Church meetings to raise money for the poor or for missionaries a
practice unheard of in Latter-day Saint services today. There were also public
preaching meetings, scheduled boy the missionaries strictly for missionary
purposes. In these gathering s the elders were not reluctant to take up
collections, partly because money was needed to pay for hired halls. When
illness struck, the elders were called upon, as they are today, to administer
to the sick by anointing them with oil as part of a priesthood blessing. What
may seem peculiar to us, however, is that often the consecrated oil was applied
to the affected part of the body, rather than simply to the crown of the head,
and sometimes it was even taken internally. Church discipline was often more
public, as members were asked to confess their transgressions in open meeting,
and disciplinary actions were decided upon and announced in the conferences as
well as in local branch meetings. Today such matters are taken care of in very
private disciplinary councils.
