JANUARY 8— 10, 1869, Beloved Brethren in, Christ of every Land :-— In prospect of the coming New Year, and mindful of the great blessings graoiously vouchsafed by God in answer to the united supplications of His people, the Evangelical Alliance cordially renew their invitation to Christians throughout the world, to observe a Week of Prayer in January next. • . Very gratifying reports have been recfivea ot the observance of this Annual Week of Prayer in different and distant countries j still, there is reason to know that in many Towns and Cities of our own and Foreign Lands, Christians have not in this way been brought into sympathy with the Universal Church of Christ. The Evangelical Alliance therefore, desirous of manifesting the union of all true Christians, and of extending the benefits which, in various ways have attended these Annual assemblies for United Prayer, affectionately call upon the children of God everywhere to take counsel and to make arrange jnehta for observing it in their respective locali ties. The Alliance feel assured that thereby the hearts of Christians will be refreshed, and the hands of those Brethren strengthened, who in other places at home and abroad, plead before Chid for the gifts of His grace and the outstretching of Bob arm to bless His church and convert a perishing world. Fellow Christians! Let us with one accord, if spared to see the commencement of a New Year, encircle the world with our faithful, fervenfc, and united prayers. Let us then gather around the Throne of our Heavenly Father, forgetful of our differences of language, nation, and ecclesiastical system. Let us plead in the name of our One Lord, Redeemer, and Intercessor for blessings which the circumstances of our times shew to be most needful, argent, and important. "If two of you agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be dose for them of my Father which is in Heaven." " O Thou that nearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come." . The following topics, amongst others, are j suggested as suitable for exhortation and inter- j cession on the successive days of meeting :— -SUNDAY, JANFARY 3. SsBUOKS.
