Dr. Inskip, Bishop of Barking, in the course of a lecture some weeks apo on ""Evangelical Influence in English Life," remarked that the type of character built up l>v the Evangelical Revival owed much to prayer and to the study of the Bible.

It will interest the many friends of the Rev. James Barr, who lectured throughout the Dominion a few years ago, to know that his daughter is a theological student, and will shortly completo her studies.

A 'Prayer: We pray Thee, 0 God. to keep us from foolish and vain thoughts and from foolish and vain ways. Grant that in our hours of leisure and in our hours of work —in our joys and in our sorrows—we may show ourselves worthy of being better Christians. May Thy constraining love keep us within the path of obedience to Thy will, and may our influence on others be for their good here and hereafter, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen,
