church next Sunday to criticise your
minister: you &c with the direct nnrpoee
Of receiving all the benefit yci can from
the services. Suppose you pray for your
pastor this week, instead of wondering
that his sermons are so dull. Suppose,
in your Sunday-school work, you put

everywhere. May we not hope that the
blessing OF God would be poured out
upon us in manifest showers ?''
