day. October ~. and Monday, October Is,
1880.
The International Sunday school executive
committee cordially unite with the commit
tees of the London Sunday school union,
and kindred institutions abroad, in recon-
mending that Sunday and Monday, the 18th
and 18th of October next, be observed as
days of earnest prayer for Sunday schools
throughout the world. In years past many
Sunday schools on this side of the Atlantic
have engaged in suitable religious services
at this time with markedtbeneft. The zeal
of teachers has been quickened, the interest
of the churches reused and salutary gimpres-
sions produced on the minds of the young.
Let us unitedly .supplicate rich blessing
not only on our own work, but upon the field
in other lands. Our brethren in Europe,
where the work is yet strange and exposed to
many difficulty and hindranoe, need our sym
pathizing prayers. Let pray for the unity
of spirit in the bond of peace, and that our
churches and schools may labor together for
the spiritual welfare of the young Let Us
pray for a yet deeper interest in Sunday
school work among Christians generally. The
work Is OF the churches; teachers are but their
representatives Will it not be especially ap-
propriate to pray that the loving affections,
the generous support, the active sympathies
of all who love Christ, may be concentrated
upon this work, and that many who are quail
fed to become teachers may be led to dedicate
themselves and their talents to this cause?
The following outline of services is recon-
mended for observance as far practicable,
That on Lords day morning, from to 8
O'Clock, private microscopy prayer be offered
on behalf of Sunday schools.
hat fha oe
ing school be preceded by meeting of the

That In the afternoon the ordinary engage
ments of each school be shortened, and devo-
tlonal service be held. To this service the
parents of the scholars might be invited.
That at the close of the evening service the
teachers. in union with other Christians, meet
for Thanksgiving and prayer.
That on Monday, October Is, teachers
again bring their scholars, one by one,
IN private prayer before God. That in
the course of the day the female teachers of
each school hold a meeting for united prayer
| and thanksgiving.
That In the evening each church or con-
gregatiOn be invited TO hold q meeting,
