We should so live that He will feel bound by His promises to come to our aid and to fulfil His words to us. We have never appealed to Him in vain. He has always listened to our supplications when we have approached Him aright. The knowledge of this encourages us to cry unto Him as an entire people, with united voice. And that we may do this in a proper manner we have felt led to set apart the next anniversary of the
