Suggestions for tfoe carrying on of the Spirit and work of the Mission.

1. Pray more earnestly, more regularly, and with greater faith and thanksgiving. 2. Make more use of intercession. Pray for others, pray for your enemies as well as your friends. Pray for your Parish. Pray for your Diocese. Pray for the whole Church. 3. Learn more of the habit of mental prayer and meditation. Join Bible classes or Bible reading circles. Try and get at the inner meaning of the words of the Bible. 4. Attend instruction classes, join a confirmation class. If you are already confirmed attend the classes again for the sake of definite instruction. 5. Join a Communicant's Guild. Every Parish wants its living centre. Every Parish wants its band of men and women who will pray. Every Communicant wants to learn to prepare, earnestly to receive the good of immort&lity, and to give thanks afterwards. We are only yet touching the fringe of the great mystery. Be more regular m your Communions. Come to meet Jesus m His, our appointed service. 6. Do something, serve. Find out what work you can do for God, and do it, and put your, heart into it. Jesus came not to be ministered unto, but to.: minister. The servant is not greater than the master. Ask yourself the question "Lord what wilt Thou have me to do ?.". Don't waste ypur life, don't fritter away your

talents, don't lose your opportunities. Work, 7. Don't give your "besetting sin the opportunity to assert itself again. Don't wait for the next mission to take stock of your life. Fortify when you know yourself to be weak. Don't neglect self-examination, confession, and amendment of life. Eemember that the powers of evil are always active after a mission. The Baptism of Jesus was followed by His temptation." " Watch and pray."
