Beloved Brethren in Christ of every Land :— Tn prospect of the coming New Yt ar, and mindful of the great blessings graciously vouchsafed by God in answer to the unite 1 supplications of His people, tlie 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 received of the vb3ervar.ee of this Annual Week of Prayer in different and dstant countries ; still, there is reason to know that in many Towns and Cities of our own and Foreign Lands, Christians have not in this way b>en brought into sympathy with the Universal Church ot 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 tak<? counsel and to make arrange ments for observing it in their respective locali ties. The Alliance feel as-ured 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 God for the gifts of His grace and the outstretching of His arm to bles9 His church and convert a perishing world. Fellow Christians ! Let us with one accord, if spared 10 see the commencement of a New Year, encircle the wo>ld with our faithful, fervent, and united prayers. Let us then gather around the Throne of our Heavenly lather, forgetful of our d fferenoes 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 Le mort needful, urgent, and important. " If two of you agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in Heaven." " O Ihou that nearest prayer, unto tliee shall ali flosh come."
