A NIGHT OF PRAYER-WHY NOT IN OUR DAY? S H A L L IT B E A P R I L 4 , 1925 ? In the A ustralian revivals of 1902, two hundred souls were saved in one church in one day. Why? Two hundred believers had prayed all night! WHY NOT IN OUR DAY? In 1741, under the preaching of Jo n ath an Edwards, “ a thoughtless, v a in ,.irreligious assembly became suddenly so overwhelmed w ith sobs and cries— some clutching the pews as though already sliding into hell— th a t a m inister seized th e preacher by his dress, exclaiming: ‘Mr. Edwards, Mr. Edwards, is no t God a God of m ercy?’ ” H undreds of Christians had been p ro strate before God th e whole night pleading in behalf of th is assembly. WHY NOT IN OUR DAY? In th e Scotch revival of 1630, five hundred conversions took place under a single sermon by John Livingstone. A vast assembly had spent all night in prayer and praise. WHY NOT IN OUR DAY? E arly Methodism flourished sp iritually on its all night meetings and its days of fasting and prayer. WHY NOT IN OUR DAY? ' Let th e days and nights of prayer re tu rn to the Church, and th e days and nights of revival will retu rn . The Baptist Bible Union of North America is calling the whole evangelical world to “th ree days of concerted p ray er” th e first th ree days in April. Will you not ask God w hat response TO HIM He would have YOU make to th is appeal? P R A Y F O R R E V I V A L ! ■ 1 “ A L I T T L E W H I L E ” (John 16:16) He who died on th e cross, because God loved them so T hat He gave His own Son th a t all men m ight know— M ight know th a t He loved them ! Oh, wonderful thought! M ight know He redeemed them— poor sinners, blood- bought! T hat all through life’s journey He’ll stay by th e ir side, And though all else changes, H e’ll ever abide. A little while longer! N aught here can divide The redeemed of th e Lord from th a t wounded side, Where th e h ea rt th a t was broken for me and for you Still clings to His own. P raise His name! It is true! A little while longer to work for my Lord; A little while longer to give out His Word; A little while longer His cross h ere to hear— Then— up to th e Homeland, His glory to share. A little while longer here, lost ones to win To Jesus th e ir Savior, from d ark paths of sin;
