PRAYER FOR UNITY OF THE SPIRIT.

To Christians OF all Denomination,
PRAYER FOR UNITY OF THE SPIRIT.
DEAR BRETHREN -
The thoughtful reader of our Lords inter
cessory prayer must mark with deep int rest,
the esrnestness with which be prays for oneness
among ais disciples.
No less than four times, in that prayer John
xvii. does our blessed Lord offer the request
leach slightly varying in phraseoicgyl "that they
oil may be one, showing how near to his holy
heart was this unity among bis followers
The Apostle St. Paul, guided BY the Holy
Ghost, presses upon the Christians at Rome,
xii. g. Corinth, Ii. 10; Xii. IL, Of lst Epistle
Galati, G 26,) Ephesus, (iv. :,6,) Philippi, Iii,
i'll apd Colosse, sQii. ll,l4,) this same unity in
the bond of peace.
Assured that all believers ia Christ heartily
desire that his prayer may be answered, and
the Apostles injunction obeyed, and that those
needless divisions among Christians, which are
60 opposed to the Divine Will, and which 90
obstrnct the progress OF the pure Gospel, may
De done away, the undersigned respectfully sug-
gest that one day be annually set apart for spe-
eial prayer that God would grant that his be-
lieving children "may be made perfect in one"
and that by the operation of the Holy Ghost, all
Christians may be so joined together in unity Of
spirit and in the bond Of peace, that they may
be an holy temple acceptable unto him.
Thus humbly approaching the throne Of
grace, united in heart, with q request so conso-
nant to the expressed will of God, We may be-
iieve that the Great Head Of the Church, in an
swering prayer for increased uuitu OF shirt,
will himself lead that Church into such measures
for the accomplishment OF outward unity as shall
most rebound to his glory.
We beg leave to designate the first Monday OF
October, as the day for such special prayer, and
invite our Christian brethren generally TO unite
10 these solemn applications.
