PRAYER Throughout the World.

the evangelical edict:
BELOVED BRETHREN IN CHRIST OF EVERY |
LAND Ia prospect of the coming New
Year, and mindful of the great blessings /
graciously vouchsafed by God, in answer |
to the united supplieatious of bis people.
the Evangelical Alliance cordially renew
their invitation to christians throughout the |
world to observe a week of PRAYER in Jauu
airy next. gar
Very gratifying reports have been re-
ceived of the observance of this annual
week of prayer IN different distant coun-
tries; still there is reason 10 know that in
many towns and cities of our own and for
eign lands Christians have not in this way
been brought ito sympathy with the uni
versai Church of Christ. The Evangelical
Alliance, therefore, DESTROYS of manifesting
the Union Of all true Christians, and Of7ex:
tending the benefits which 10 various ways
have attended these annual assemblies for
united prayer, afFectionatey call upon the
children of God every where to take counsel
aud 10 make arrangements for observing it
in their respective localities. The Alliance
feel assured that thereby the hearts of
Christians will be refreshed. and the hands
of those brethren strengthened, who, in
other places, at home and abroad, plead be-
fore God for the gifts of His grace and the
outstretching of His arm to bless His
Church and convert perishIng world.
Fellow Christians let us with one ac-
cord, if spared to see the commencement of
a new year, eneircle the world with OUT
faithful, fervent and united prayers. Let
Us then gather around the throne of our
Heavenly Father, forgetful of our differen-
ces Of language, nation and ecclesiasticaL
system. Let US plead in the name of our
one Lord, Redeemer, and Intercessor for
blessings which the circumstances of our
times show to be most needful, urgent and
important. t
If two of you agree on earth as touching
anything that they shall ask, it shall be
done for them of my Father which is in
| Heaven. ssa
