A *Call to Earnest Prayer
By K. C. Russell
IN our efforts to enlighten the people concerning the principles of religious liberty and to defeat the Sunday bills now before Congress, we should not neglect at our special religious liberty services Sabbath, February 24, to seek the Lord unitedly and earnestly in prayer that he will hinder any legislation that would interfere with his work. Let time be given for a number of earnest prayers. We may labor and give of our means to help in the work, but unless our souls are drawn out for the power of the Holy Spirit to attend the efforts put forth, our work will prove fruitless. The Bible exhorts us in a special way to pray for rulers and those in authority, and we have signal examples in the Bible showing how the Lord has interposed in behalf of his people in response to earnest prayer. Let us pray!
