I Our ai a i* twofold: first tin- comer
sion of souls to the Kingdom of
and,* secoddlv, the building up be
Sievers in holiness.
First. We want your interest in
the work. We want to feel, w
laboring for the extention of
Kingdom that our hands are upheld
1,V vour encouragement, and our
‘ ;
. hcaris strengthened . ,. by your syinpa
j
thy. If we can know that the
church (all denominations),
stand by us, cheer us on, and feel
i.s.-lf one with us, we can goon cheer
fully with the great work. We
therefore appeal to you for more than
a mere feeling ot contentment and
willingness to see others toiling;
more than simple satisfaction at
progress of the church in
souls; more than a general vague
desire for revival in the membership
j and conversions from the world. \\ e

interest in the work—we want you
to realize that the church is yours;
that its advancement is your pro
gress, and its triumph is your lejoic
ing. More still, we want yon to feel
heavily upon your heart a burden
for souls, a deep, earnest, longing,
that cannot rest until souls arc won
und-AJod'a work is revived. This
interest and nothing less,' the cause
demands from your • hearts—will
you give it?
Secondly. We request vour heartv
co opmilion in the WOik . We claim
you not merely as a sympathizing
friend, but a fellow worker. Give to
ourcansc, which is yours as well, the
silent influence of your life and your
active service. Talk about the meet
ings (not the preachers and your
neighbors.) in your families, cncour
age and urge all who are old enough
lo attend, and pave their way by
your own example. Seek an oppor¬
tunity of meeting your friends, aud
all with whom you have any social
relations, and extend to them an in
vitation to accompany you to the set
vices; call upon your neighbors and
bid them come / Xe „ vou , Mlow

is to be done and welcome them to
share its benefits. Chris Inn soldier,

kindly words, with all the tact and
* 'b J' 011 poscss —but ijo r? You may
not fielquaified to take active or
lieroic part in the public nteeti gs; but
here is a wo.k that everybody can do.
None are too old, none are to, joueg.
none are too feeble to lead one soul
where God’s spirit can reach it. and
where Christ's biood can wash it.
Many are the great and eloquent di¬
vines preaching in public now moving
whole kingdoms and nations, who
were led to the Saviour-by Someone
whose voice has never been heard in
the pulpit, or public assemb y. Per
Imps your act of bringing a soul to
Christ may help to spread the story of
salvation over all the earth. The
work o ot i* will '» i * * uvg deepen 11 your j um- interest unci »<ai,
8treilgthen tj|£ power of yom . exper .
ienee, gladden yourhea’-t, anil set stars
to shine in your crown. We appeal to
you then to help us in our effort for
revival—will you do it?
Third y, We request jour presence
in all th“ meetings. Just to the degree
in which the members of the churches
stand at (heir posts of. duty during
the harvest of souls will. be benefit*
obtained.
If every name upon the rolU.be'rep
resented by a willing wotker how
glorious will be the success-,■ bow rich
the ingathering! If the memb rs fail
to readze their individual responsibilt
ty, how meager will be the harvest!
an( ] w j,y should the responsibility
rest upon one more than upon another? i
All have been bought* with the same
blood, all adopted into the same broth¬
erhood; all privileged to possess the
same a tendance in grace. Think
brother, sister, have you any nght to ,
neglect your part, and at, the same
time expect another to fulfil his?
Come then to all the meetings, not if
convenient, but if possible. Has God
ever done.anything for you? Iliiuk-a
moment—review the past. If be has
then under obligations to come 1
you are
a’nd work and pray. But if God has
never bestowed a single blessing upon |
in all youi lire, then you are e x- j
empled and therefore excusable!
Your presence is your duty; and it
w ni give us greater help than you sup
pose. It will encourage and strength-1
in our labors. Your voice will 1
en us
swell will bear the chores the of song, your your heart, faith j
up prayer,
will respond to the exl.ortion, vour ;
prayer will bring pardon to some •
weeping sou!. If you stay away, you
it at great hazards. Come to the

catarrh medicines w hich relieve
the most disagreeable symtoms

during the spring will cure catarrh
more quickly than at any other

j Concord, N. II., writes Dr.
man as follows: “When I began
taking vour medicines four years
ago I was suffering with chronic
catarrh. I had taking nearly two
dozen bottles of a so-called catarrh
cure w ithout much re’iov. I’e-i u
na cured the night sweats and diz¬

which lie calls “Winter catarrh.”
