TO ALL WHO OWN THEMSELVES SUBJECTS, SERVANTS, AND SOLDIERS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. All who love our Xicg, our Country, our _ Fellow Men, ; and our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity' are invited to A SPECIAL INTERCESSORY • SERVICE TO-MORROW (SUNDAY) AFTER- • NOON (D.V.), . At 3 o'clock. In the COMMITTEE ROOM, TOWN HALL (Entrance Mercer Street). WHY? 1. CHRISTIANS! THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY- SHOULD BE. Tho indifference at so dangerous a crisis is astonishing and alarming! Hell is lot loose. The devil still roigns. in three continents. It is timo to seek tho Lord , till Ho rain Righteousness, Peace, and Love upon us.. Our soldiers and sailors are dying for us, likßthe heroes they are; their blood is flowing like water; sweeping victory which should end tho war is delayed. Why? Admiral Beatty has told us: "When England looks to tho future with huanbler eyes, and a prayer upon her lips, we begin to count, the days towards the efcdy" By turning to God vre can close the gates of Hell; if wo ten not,•■upon.'us-will bo the guilt of the blood' .of i hundreds of thousands, of tho flower of oUr nation, and of Europe.. In former days' our fathors havo sought God in times of national danger, as witness tho following Proclamation sent forth 'by Queen Victoria on Saturday, April 15, 1854: — , "VICTORIA 11.: We, taking into our most serious consideration the just, and necessary war in which wo- aro engaged, and putting our trust in Almighty God that Ho will graciously bless our arms, both by sea/ and land, havo resolved, ami do, by and with the advice of. our Privy Council, hereby command that a public day of Humiliation and Prayer be ! ohserved throughout those parts of our United Kingdom called England and Ireland, on Wednesday, tho 26th day of April, instant, that so both wo and our peoplo may humblo oursolves before Almighty God in order to obtain pardon' of our sins, and- in tho. most devout and solemn manner send up our prayers and supplications to tho Divine Majesty for imploring His blessing and assistance on our arms for the restoration of peace to us and our Dominions, And wo do strictly charge and command, that the said, day be reverently and devoutly 'observed by all our loving subjects in England and Ireland, as they tender the favour of Almighty God, and would avoid His'wrath and indignation." Our God loaths this war mora than wo do, and Ho will hear our prayers, if we meet with one accord and seek Him with- all our hearts. In this meeting wo shall know no other name than' that of the Lord Jesus Christ. Wo can great ly hasten tho end of this unspeakable bloodshed and sorrow. < - . 2. CHRISTIANS! Tho signs of tho times aro indeed ominous. To all close observors it is evident wo aro now passing through tho first stage of the dark night of the world's history, if wo seriously consider tho present condition of things in tho political, the social, ( and the religious world. The great Eastern Question is again having prominence. The greatest conference over held in connection with the Jewish Zionisty movement was convened recently at Boston, Mass., when somo seven thousand delegates repeatedly filled the Mechanics' Hall, the largest auditorium in the' city. Tho dominant note was, "We havo arrived at the psychological moment to possess Palestine for 1 the new Davidic Kingdom." Quite apart from the Zionist organisation, a widespread movement has boon sot on foot ,in Italy, known as tho Pro Causa Hcbraica; Tho object of this movoment is to impross Christian public opinion in tho civilised world with, tho immediate necessity of solving tho Jewish problem by tho establishment of a Jewish autonomous State in Palestine. If Greece enters the war, will sho niako up with tho Allies tho ten horns (or Powers) Toferred to in the Book of Revelations, XVII, and -Book of Daniel, VII, 20, as the providontial instruments to accomplish God's purposes concerning the Hebrew nation and to' preparo' tho way for Christ's literal Kingdom on tho earth ? True, Christians and students of Scrip, tiuro regard these as premonitory indications of the approaching .nearness of tho Lord's coming. If to pray means life, and if not (o pray means death in more than one sonse, how great is the reproach of a prayerless life! "I. havo 6et boforo thco this day life and death . . . therefore choose lil'o." THE GREATEST NATIONAL ASSET IS PRAYER. How great is our privilego to have a slia.ro in.its revival and restoration! "Whatsoever ye shall ask in My na.rao, that will I do."—St. John- XIV, 13. TO LET.... •_ TO LET, Offices in Willis Street; also Two Floors, suitable for Indent Agent or Merchant.
