Evangelical Alliance Week of Prayer
The Evangelical Alliance (president, Leander T. Chamberlain, "The Chelsea," West 23d Street, New York) suggests for the week of prayer, January 7 to 14, 1912, the following subjects, all of which are excellent, and for which all Christians ought to unite in prayer: January 7, "The Kingdom's Ceaseless Advance." "So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth. . . . First the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear." Mark 4:26-28. Monday, January 8, "Personal Faithfulness." Tuesday, January 9, "The Church of Christ." Wednesday, January 10, "Foreign Missions." Thursday, January 11, "Home Missions." Friday, January 12, "Interests Domestic and Educational" (The Home—the School). Saturday, January 13, "Interests National and International." Sunday, January 14, "The Supreme Desirableness of the Kingdom's Triumph." The triumph of Christ's cause is assured, because it is founded in truth. Our triumph is assured if we build on truth. His kingdom will not triumph by politics or earthly power, but by the power of God, by faith, by prevailing prayer.
