e to us the part of Christ's body with which we come
into most direct contact. They have a special claim on our intercession.
Let it be a settled matter between God and you that you are to labour in

preaching or Sunday school. And pray, expecting an answer.

HOW TO PRAY.--Continually

="Watchmen, that shall never hold their peace day nor night."=--ISA.

="His own elect, that cry to Him day and night."=--LUKE xviii. 7.

="Night and day praying exceedingly, that we may perfect that which
is lacking in your faith."=--1 THESS. iii. 10.

="A widow indeed, hath her hope set in God, and continueth in
supplications night and day."=--1 TIM. v. 5.

When the glory of God, and the love of Christ, and the need of souls are
revealed to us, the fire of this unceasing intercession will begin to
burn in us for those who are near and those who are far off.

Christ's power to save, and save completely, depends on His unceasing
intercession. The apostles withdrawing themselves from other work to
give themselves continually to prayer was followed by the number of the
disciples multiplying exceedingly. As we, in our day, give ourselves to
intercession, we shall have more and mightier conversions. Let us plead
for this. Christ is exalted to g
