Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Evangelical Christendom, Christian Work, and the News of the Churches, 1893, Vol. 47
Br the time that this first number for the New Year is in the hands of our readers the Week of Universal Prayer will be close at hand, if it has not already commenced. We would, therefore, urge strongly the importance of all who take an interest in this world-wide union of prayer doing the utmost in their power to make it a success. By this we mean not merely attending as many of the meetings in their neighbourhood as possible, but by seeking to come to these meetings in a spirit of prayer, believing the exceeding great and precious promises which have been given to those who ask, who seek, who knock. The success of a prayer-meeting is not to be estimated by the number of people who attend it, but by the number of believing hearts which they bring with them. And the result aimed at is not the satisfaction of seeing numbers who may attend, but the being able to record that the prayers offered have indeed reached the throne of God, and have brought down the blessings which have been sought from Him.
