MONDAY.

Let me pray for a general outpouring of the Holy Spirit's Influence at home and abroad :-for the conversion and restoration of the Jews, and the ingathering of the Gentile nations into the Church of Christ: for the extension of pure and undefiled religion among the Protestant inhabitants of Europe, and for the speedy downfall of Popery, Mohammedanism, and Superstition of every kind.

Let me pray also for the Directors and Agents of our Bible and Missionary Societies, and of all other

Societies established for the propagation of the Gospel, that it may please Almighty God "to endue them with grace, wisdom, and understanding," and give abundant success to their "labours of love."Let me be earnest in my supplications for our beloved brethren, the Missionaries. May they be strengthened, and encouraged amidst the peculiar difficulties of their work! May they possess the zeal, the patience, and undaunted courage of Saint Paul, not counting their lives dear unto themselves, so that they may finish their course with joy, and the ministry which they have received of the Lord Jesus!

D S

O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from the city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us. Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken, and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God, for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. Daniel ix. 16-19.
