="Ye also helping together on our behalf; that for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many on our behalf."=--2 COR. i. 11. What multitudes of workers in connection with our churches and missions, our railways and postmen, our soldiers and sailors, our young men and young women, our fallen men and women, our poor and sick. God be praised for this! What could they accomplish if each were living in the fulness of the Holy Spirit? Pray for them; it makes you a partner in their work, and you will praise God each time you hear of blessing anywhere. HOW TO PRAY.--With definite Petitions ="What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?"=--LUKE xviii. 41. The Lord knew what the man wanted, and yet He asked him. The utterance of our wish gives point to the transaction in which we are engaged with God, and so awakens faith and expectation. Be very definite in your petitions, so as to know what answer you may look for. Just think of the great host of workers, and ask and expect God definitely to bless them in answer to the prayers of His people. Then ask still more definitely for workers around you. Intercession is not the breathing out of pious wishes; its aim is, in believing, persevering prayer, to receive and bring down blessing.

Deeper than the need for men--ay, deep down at the bottom of our spiritless life, is the need for the forgotten secret of prevailing, world-wide prayer." ="As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate Me Barnabas and Saul. Then when they had fasted and prayed, they sent them away. So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed."=--ACTS xiii. 2, 3, 4. Pray that our mission work may all be done in this spirit--waiting on God, hearing the voice of the Spirit, sending forth men with fasting and prayer. Pray that in our churches our mission interest and mission work may be in the power of the Holy Spirit and of prayer. It is a Spirit-filled, praying Church will send out Spirit-filled missionaries, mighty in prayer. HOW TO PRAY.--Take Time ="I give myself unto prayer."=--PS. cix. 4. ="We will give ourselves continually to prayer."=--ACTS vi. 4. ="Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God."=--ECCLES. v. 2.
