Our Wednesday Night Prayer
Meetings.

A Afker mature dellbes sations the
pastors aud people orthe Methodist
Baptist and Presbyterian churches
of TT Jewell have determined to hold
their regulav weekly prayer meetings
all Oh the same night.
Considering the size of our town
ana the ndmber of members in odl
respective chul ches, all of whom
should IA regular attendents upon
our prayer services, we spprehend
no difficulty in securing a good at
tendance at each meeting.
We do not feel that the churches
of the town should monopolize the
nights of the week except Temporary
lily under extraordinary conditions
Neither do we feel that our prayer
meetings should be treated with
indifference by any of our members,
or~with apparent contempt by the
people OF the world, who as we'll as
the people of God, owe everything
to the Saviourl
IL we mistake not these simulta-
neous meetings will prove happy
aud wholesome reminders OF the
weekly hour of payer and remove
a occasion of hindrance to each 9th
er produced by social visiting on
PRAYER meeting nights.
1t is hoped that each and a'l our
members will be present on these
occasions ID come up TO the help If
the Loid, % The help Of the Lord
az airst the mighty. Believing a.
we do ia the ''communiou of saints;
the fo giveness os 20. the resurrec-
tion Of tle body; aid Che life ever
testing" we 'a1 well afford TO lay
aside for an h,r- two, once week
OR secul'r corcerns and place our
minds anu hearts upon spiritual
thl"as and pour odt our prayers and
pra.s belo' g the y aver hearing and
PRAYER p. ,swerins God.
We all need hat potent protec-
ton against secular and worldly
mlnGedness which is so we'll afforded
b,v o1r prayer meetings. Nothing
cia be more wholesome and afCec-
tive against The incursions of the
w-rld than the prayer meeting
'p' ope ly used. IN view of promised
