A Day of Fasting and Prayer
By Editor
A Day of Fasting and Prayer.—A special day of fasting and prayer, Sabbath, September 17, has been set apart by the General Conference Committee to seek God for greater consecration and for His special blessing upon our constantly enlarging work, especially in the large cities. It ought to be a day of individual confession of sin, humbling of heart, and unitedly seeking God for power for service. All are entreated to join in this united, unselfish, whole-hearted seeking of the Master's blessing. Great are His promises, and the simple faith of the child may grasp them. "Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain" is His own exhortation. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find." "And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart." Laborers Wanted.—A call has been made by the General Conference for 120 volunteers for mission fields as follows: 27 for China, 18 for India, 6 for South Africa, 6 for Japan, 11 for the West Indies, 34 for South America, 3 for the Philippine Islands, 7 for West Africa, 1 for the Straits Settlements, 6 for Great Britain, and 2 for Bermuda. Of this company 56 should be evangelists, 21 nurses, 26 canvassers, 4 physicians, 9 teachers, and 4 Bible workers. This item which we gather from the Review and Herald foots up 121. The General Conference would need the extra one and more too by the time they secured him. This is a splendid opportunity to volunteer.
