duties and privileges of the Sabbath to that day, will be obvious to all. How would the hands and the hearts of all spiritual teachers, thus be strengthened! The subject for Monday was selected on account of its coincidence with the monthly concert ;-that for Saturday, because it is the Jewish Sabbath, the day when they still assemble to worship, to read the law and the prophets, and to bewail their desolations;-and that for Tuesday, because the American Education Society have established a monthly concert of prayer, to be observed by their beneficiaries this day, and some ecclesiastical and ministerial bodies have recommended this concert to the churches. There is no reason for the assignment of the three remaining subjects to their particular days. They should, however, hold a prominent place in our supplications. The present situation of "our country" loudly calls for humiliation and prayer. The "rising generation" is a subject interesting to parents, teachers, and indeed to almost every one in the community. "Christians" must awake to their duties and their responsibilities, or the world can never be evangelized; and that this may be effected, the "pastors," the "watchmen," must be endowed with power from on high. The three subjects last mentioned, are rendered more interesting by their connection with our Saviour's injunction, "Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into the harvest." A great multitude of our youth must be excited to hear the voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" and the churches must be aroused to qualify and employ them. Prayer with corresponding effort will accomplish all this.
