WEEK OF PRAYER.
No hopeless prayer is ours; no
phantom mirage do we pursue.
Gods purposes are sure to be full
filed, and the kingdom ushered in
by Christ's coming still keeps its
steady onward march. Silent and
unmarked as IN much of its pro
gress, it is as irresistible as is the
sunlight that by its gentle power
establishes the throne of summer
and turns midnight to midday.
Gigantic evils still oppose them
selves, put Gods kingdom is GER
tain to triumph. 1t is ours, by
faithful service now and by win
ming new subjects for our King, to
have a share in that final victory
when the kingdom of this world
shall have become the kingdom of
our Lord and of his Christ. Rev.

The Entire Unity of God John
17:2D. Unity does not necessa-
rily mean uniformity. Jesus re-
red to one spirit, not one organi-
zation. If we are all to be one
body externally, which one shall it
be? Who will surrender? Who
will prevail? What shall be the
basis of compromise? Shall Epis-
copacy give up its bishopric, or
Presbyterianism its Confession of
Faith, or the Baptist Church its
immersion, or the Methodists their
anxious seat, or the Congregation
alists their individualism? God
forbid.
Let the whole church be sympa-
thetlcally one, and the progress Of
Christianity will be phenomenal
and universal. Then shall the b.
BILE, the text. book of us all, spread
its illumination from pole to pole,
till all the nations shall become ir-
radiated by its truth, and all heav-
en- shall break forth into singing at
the sight. God hasten that day.
THY KINGDOM COME
In all our hearts. that we may APP
preciate more thy love in the great
sacrifice of Calvary that has made
its ccnsumatlon possible.
In all our homes, that completed
family circles may be circumferen-
ces of which Christ is the centre.
In all commercial centres, that
in the extension of trade the out
going vessels may carry its truth,
the rail trans may forward It's
principles, and the mails may en-
large its domain.
In all our land, the righteousness
may exalt us as nation, AMI
throughout the whole world, that
God may be its one sovereign and
Jesus It's one Lord. -Rey. w. II.

ILLUSTRATIVE SELECTIONS.
O, for a deeper experience of
Joyous submission to the present
active agency of the Holy spirit
And 0, for sympathetic, su-
preme devotion to the work in
which we are fellow-workers with
God? Thus united with our Head.
and with one another, our affec
tions all alive, our energies enlist
ed. revival would develop out of
revival, as the full corn out of the
blade and the ear, and Pentecost
would be daily experience in every
city and country around the world.
