Such are the principal arrangements arising out of the International Lesson Movement. What then is needed to render them efficient and operative? Union, Mutual Help, Prayerful and Persevering effort; give these, and the great idea will be a mighty power for good. Let all who have lately joined in united prayer, now engage in united labour. Think of the new scheme, talk of it, pray over it, recommend it, enter into the spirit of it, and help to swell the ranks of those who, through the successive Sabbaths of 1874, shall read, and speak, and hear the same portion of the holy word of God. May we all find the hallowed exercise to be indeed as a divine feast, at which Christ our Master shall occupy the chief place!
