od, not only by
unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do. Expect
unexpected things, above all that we ask or think. Each time you
intercede, be quiet first and worship God in his glory. Think of what He
can do, of how He delights to hear Christ, of your place in Christ, and
expect great things.

SIXTEENTH DAY

WHAT TO PRAY.--For the Power of the Holy Spirit in our Sabbath Schools

="Thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be
taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I
will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy
children."=--ISA. xlix. 25.

Every part of the work of God's Church is His work. He must do it.
Prayer is the confession that He will, the surrender of ourselves into
His hands to let Him, work in us and through us. Pray for the hundreds
of thousands of Sunday-school teachers, that those who know God may be
filled with His Spirit. Pray for your own Sunday school. Pray for the
salvation of the children.

HOW TO PRAY.--Boldly

="We have a great High Priest, Jesus the Son of God. Let us
therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace."=--HEB. iv. 14, 16.

These hints to help us in our work of intercession--what are they doing
for us? Making us conscious of our feebleness in prayer? Thank God for
this. It is the very first lesson we need on the way to pray the
effectual prayer that availeth much. Let us persevere, taking each
subject boldly to the throne of grace. As we pray we shall learn to
pray, and to believe, and to expect with increasing boldness. Hold fast
your assurance: it is at God's command you come as an intercessor.
Christ will give you grace to pray aright.
