Praying for a Purpose

By C. McREYNOLDS

LET us pray in faith, and pray for definite purposes. In one of our churches in this conference since our local camp-meeting in October, three earnest young people formed a prayer circle, and began to pray for one particular person. They labored carefully in harmony with their prayers. Soon the object was gained, and the new convert joined their circle. A few weeks have passed, and seven of their associates have been converted, and have, in turn, become laborers for other souls. This work is still going on in that church. If a similar move were made during the week of prayer in all our churches, hundreds of our young people would be rescued; and many of our neighbors would be converted. That kind of conversion includes the pocketbooks also, and we should see the largest contribution of money to the work that this cause has ever received.

Let us do the praying and the personal labor, and have the revival. God will give the success and the blessing, and receive the gifts of souls and money.

C. McREYNOLDS, of Wisconsin.
