r power in the Church, for the exaltation of Christ and the blessing of souls." God has one promise to and through His exalted Son; our Lord has one gift to His Church; the Church has one need; all prayer unites in the one petition--the power of the Holy Spirit. Make it your one prayer. HOW TO PRAY.--As a Child asks a Father ="If a son ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?

Ask it for your own prayer circle. HOW TO PRAY.--In the Spirit ="With all prayer and supplication, praying at all seasons in the Spirit."=--EPH. vi. 18. ="Praying in the Holy Spirit."=--JUDE 20. Our Lord gave His disciples on His resurrection day the Holy Spirit to enable them to wait for the full outpouring on the day of Pentecost.
