And as each of us pleads for the revival throughout the Church, let us specially, at the same time, cry to God for our own neighbourhood or sphere of work. Let, with every minister and worker, there be "great searchings of heart," as to whether they are ready to give such proportion of time and strength to prayer as God would have. Let them, even as in public they are leaders of their larger or smaller circles, give themselves in secret to take their places in the front rank of the great intercession host, that must prevail with God, ere the great revival, the floods of blessing can come. Of all who speak or think of, or long for, revival, let not one hold back in this great work of honest, earnest, definite pleading: Revive Thy work, O Lord! Wilt Thou not revive us again? Come and let us return to the Lord: He will revive us! And let us know, let us follow on to know the Lord. "_His going forth_ is sure as the morning; and _He shall come unto us_ as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth." Amen. So be it. NOTES NOTE A, Chap. VI. p. 73 Just this day I have been meeting a very earnest lady missionary from India. She confesses and mourns the lack of prayer. But--in India at least--it can hardly be otherwise. You have only the morning hours, from six to eleven, for your work. Some have attempted to rise at four, and get the time they think they need, and have suffered, and had to give it up. Some have tried to take time after lunch, and been found asleep on their knees. You are not your own master, and must act with others. No one who has not been in India can understand the difficulty; sufficient time for much intercession cannot be secured. Were it only in the heat of India the difficulty existed, one might be silent. But, alas! in the coldest winter in London, and in the moderate climate of South Africa, there is the same trouble everywhere. If once we really felt--_intercession is the most important part of our work_, the securing of God's presence and power in full measure is the essential thing, this is our first duty--our hours of work would all be made subordinate to this one thing. May God show us all whether there indeed be an insuperable difficulty for which we are not responsible, whether it be only a mistake we are making, or a sin by which we are grieving Him and hindering His Spirit!
