DAY OF PRAYER AND AFTER

(To the Editor)

Sir, —Now that the National Day of Prayer is past, permit me to suggest that what is now needed is a re-consecration by all Christian believers the world over of their lives to God and Christ, beginning with the ministers, pastors, evangelists and Sunday school teachers in our churches and missions. I well remember such a move being made in Auckland when a visiting minister publicly confessed his faults and then “re-consecrated” his life to Christ, at a time of very low Christian and religious force, with the result that Christians were awakened out of their sleep and churches were filled with re-con-secrated lives, which was the means of a spiritual revival and the saving of many precious souls for Christ who today are happy living witnesses of His saving and keeping powers. If some such move were again made at the present time I am sure that God would send showers of blessing and deliver us from our enemies as in the past. Therefore let all Christians, high and low, now re-consecrate their lives to God and Christ and say with joy and gladness: “Take my life and let it be re-consecrated Lord to Thee.”—l am, etc., EVANGELIST C.
