behalf."=--2 COR. i. 11.

What multitudes of workers in connection with our churches and missions,
our railways and postmen, our soldiers and sailors, our young men and
young women, our fallen men and women, our poor and sick. God be praised
for this! What could they accomplish if each were living in the fulness
of the Holy Spirit? Pray for them; it makes you a partner in their work,
and you will praise God each time you hear of blessing anywhere.

HOW TO PRAY.--With definite Petitions

="What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?"=--LUKE xviii. 41.

The Lord knew what the man wanted, and yet He asked him. The utterance
of our wish gives point to the transaction in which we are engaged with
God, and so awakens faith and expectation. Be very definite in your
petitions, so as to know what answer you may look for. Just think of the
great host of workers, and ask and expect God definitely to bless them
in answer to the prayers of His people. Then ask still more definitely
for workers around you. Intercession is not the breathing out of pious
wishes; its aim is, in believing, persevering prayer, to receive and
bring down blessing.

WHAT TO PRAY.--For God's Spirit on our Mission Work

"The evangelisation of the world depends first of all upon a revival
of prayer. Deeper than the need for men--ay, deep down at the bottom
of our spiritless life, is the need for the forgotten secret of
prevailing, world-wide prayer."

="As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said,
Separate Me Barnabas and Saul. Then when they had fasted and prayed,
they sent them away. So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost,
departed."=--ACTS xiii. 2, 3, 4.

Pray that our mission work may all be done in this spirit--waiting on
God, hearing the voice of the Spirit, sending forth men with fasting and
prayer. Pray that in our churches our mission interest and mission work
may be in the power of the Holy Spir
