of Saints, ^^'or do the circuinstaiiees of the day in vliieh we live ]ieiiiiif the tlioniiht I'f velaxiiii; in the earnestness and
iinpbrtimity of our [prayers. All aroinid ns are syniiitoins which may well awaken ^'rave and aiixions thou>,dits in (.'hristiaii
hearts. Tim a^'itatioii and nnn-st of nations, the rise ami fall of emiiires, the rapid and sudden revolutions of o|iinioii, the
iinl^ocial ami aiiti-('liristiaii idenuMits known lo he ferment i-i.^ anions,' the masses, the v.ide-spread <lilfusion of seeptieal
iduaH, the hostile attitude of modern science towards everythiiij,' sniiernatnral, the startling,' (h'Vclo]iments of an unseri|itnnd
and suiierstitions liitiialism ; ami, not least, the astute and audacious stnij,';,di's of J'o|iery to recover its authority over the
niinds of men, — tdl tofjether constitute such a ]>lea for jirayer as no iiit(!li),'eiil and thouf,'htl'uI mind can fail to recofini/.e.
Tlie most ell'e<'tive reply which the faithful ilisi iples of Clirist ran ;,'ive to the sccivnful tauii!, " \\'hat ]irolit is there in
prober]" is by a more fervent and encrjjetic ajipeal to llim ''that heareth jirayer." The most li(iiie.ful mt-thod of frnstratinj,'
thefl^iei iiicioiis schemes of foolish or wicked men is l.y en^'agin;;' the arm of niiini[iotencc ai,'ainst them. The constant
leissun which the AVord of (lod ti'aches the lieliever in his wartaie with the fniies (.f evil, is, '• Fe.ir them not, for they that
lie with I'.s are niori' than they that l"- with them." '•(onl is our refu-^'c and streiiiLjth. a very pnseni iielp in tiMeMe. The
I^Ottl of Hosts is with us; the ( Iwd of .lai(d) is oili' refiljj[e." At the same time there is much to excite j^ratitude and
eii(!<)niiij,'e hope. Never was the world so open to the entrance of the (iospel. The ancient bariieis of inveterate prejudice
liiivu licen lirokcn down; (hieiital nitions an' awikeiiinj,' from tlie deep sliimiier of a,L,'es, and an- turning wi.stfnl eyes
towards the mysterious wisdnni and powerof the West. The Alissioiiaiy and tia' Uilile enter with the en^'iiii'ir and tln>
mtjcchant. lie it (ail's tu piay that all tin.-.' thiii,:.;s may tall lait to thi' fnrtiiei'iinee ^l l!ie (iispel ; and while dnwinj,' closer
t<T¥!TMi other and to (!oi|, to lift up niir united supiilieations that the ;,'loi'ious (luspel nf Christ, who is the iliiaf,'e of (Joil,
may shine upon the dark places of the earth, ainl till the world with the knowledi.ri' of llis;,dory.
