Make bare the hand.

Place it in the palm of your friend.

Clench the fingers across the back part of the hand you grip.

Then let all the animation of your heart rush to the shoulder, and from there to the elbow, and then through the fore arm and through the wrist, till your friend gets the whole charge of gospel electricity.
In Paul's time he told the Christians to greet each other with a holy kiss.
We are glad the custom has been dropped, for there are many good people who would not want to kiss us, as we would not want to kiss them.
