a WEEK OF PRAYER
For the National, state, and Local w.
q. IT. u.

The following announcement for week of
prayer, from March IS to 25, has been made by
the president of the w. @. t. U.:
BELOVED SISTERS. We call every union and
every woman in our heroic constituency to
spend week in united aud special prayer,
both private and public. for such baptism OF
wisdom and courage upon ourselves and such
putting forth of divine power as shall be felt
in all this land. Reasons: The year upon uS is
one of struggle and Of destiny. Within these
months the temperance cause shall be in the
very heart of a mighty contest. Then let us
pray
come fresh impulse from heaven, and on
every active worker new amounting of the
Spirit.
to us by pledge and name, but not cousecrated
to the spirit and activities OF the work. Let
us ask God TO call our own women from idle
ness to service.
Third For the great body of Christian
womanhood who vet stand ainr from this
greatest of missionary agencies for the saliva.
tion of our own and other lands.
The meetings of the week need not be widely
public, nor their aim to invite universal nttan-
lion. Begin quietly an afternoon meeting for
prayer in your own usual place OF meeting, or
in rar!or, with the hearts touched already
with longing for more of God In our work.
ard more of His power on all our people
Make special effort first for all members of The
unions, that together we may offer our prayers.
If attendance widcns, Rs II Will, do not allow
discussions upon the temperance reform or
its methods.
Seek God. Seek Him alone for great
awakeping of the church and the nation. The
liquor traffic is here with Its denominations le.
CALLED because of spiritual death. We need
conscience aroused and made true. Sisters of
the w. G. T. T., set the week apart, hold ut
least one meeting o day for the quiet, unosten-
tatious seeking of God herein suggested. Two
public evening meetings, with sermons, Gospel
talks, or conferences would be OF great value.
The evening of March 25 might be made eff
fective by union services where these can be
secured. When the churches cannot give way
for this, hold such meeting in the afternoon
Of that day.
No topics are suggested lest they lead from
the one central thought of all the days. Many
things you will remember; our own work, our
country's needs and .perils the workers who
must go out into the coming contest; the
pleaders at the fireside; the voters at the ballot
box; but this one thing seek and find, Gods
touch OF power upon our spiritual life, and the
spiritual life of the nation.
On behalf of the National W. G. 7. U.
