Talks Watchman Nee gave in February 1934 on the practical life of a local assembly, later published as a book (聚會的生活). Living Stream Ministry prints it in volume 22 of the Collected Works, where it is arranged under four heads: authority in the church, the practice of fellowship, how to meet, and the boundary of the local assembly. Christian Fellowship Publishers issued the same material in English as the first part of The Church and the Work. It belongs with The Normal Christian Church Life as part of Nee's teaching on the local church, approaching the subject from the side of the believers' common life rather than the workers'.
