 Dear Friends: 
 
 We have been asked by your Parochial 
 Clergy to conduct a Mission among you. 
 They have felt the Dedication of your new 
 Church to be a special call to renewed 
 earnestness in self-consecration, and to 
 greater efforts in building up the Spiritual 
 Temple of God. It is indeed such a call. 
 God grant that the Mission may help you to 
 fulfil it ! 
 
 We do not come to you altc^ether as 
 strangers. The growth of your Parish has 
 long been a matter of loving interest to us. 
 Some years ago one of us paid you a brief 
 visit while you were worshipping in the 
 temporary Chapel, and we felt it a privilege 
 to assist at the dedication of your new 
 Church. May this House of God prove 
 indeed a Spiritual Home to many a soul ! 
 May you therein continually " grow in grace 
 and in the knowledge of our Lord and 
 Saviour Jesus Christ." The special exercises 
 of the Mission will, we trust, help you to use 
 the ordinary ministrations of the Church with 
 greater benefit and Hpvntmn

 ' 
 
 And now we desire to address ourselves^^' 
 to you individually, and to explain to you 
 what ,s the work which we come to do in the 
 Mission and what part each one of you can 
 take m it. 
 
 Perhaps you who read this are one of those 
 
 who have lived for some years, and yet have 
 
 never really settled the one great question of 
 
 hfe, Am I in the way of salvation ?» l^hat 
 
 IS to say, you may be one of those who have 
 
 never yet really turned to God. Perhaps 
 
 you scarcely understand what I mean when 
 
 I say "turned to God." Well, then, this 
 
 Mission IS meant for you. Come to it, and 
 
 surely God will teach you something. 
 
 (> perhaps, you are one who at some time 
 m your life did more or less give yourself to 
 God, turning away from sin. You set things 
 nght, and went on well for a while ; and for 
 aught that the world knows, you are going on 
 fairly well now. But it may be you are 
 conscious of having much fallen back since 
 that time. Old sins are coming on again; 
 old associations are getting the same old 
 power over von. Th^e^ ^^^ __

 ship ; those many httic indulgences in thought 
 and word, and, j.erhaps, in act,— what a 
 .weight iliey are on your conscience ! How 
 glad > (,u would be to start afresh / Yes, a 
 fresh start, diat is what you want. 'I'he 
 .Mission then, dear reader, is just the thing 
 /or you. Look at the list of services, and 
 come to whichever you can. 
 
 Or are you groaning still under the weight 
 of some overmastering sin ? Vou have longed 
 again ar.d again to l>e rid of it. No creature 
 on earth knows what you feel about it. Vou 
 say, ''Oh, that I might throw this off, and go 
 on at peace with (Jod and with myself." My 
 dear reader, if this be your case, the Mission 
 is indeed meant for your poor soul. You 
 little know how glad we shall be to give you 
 help in this sore struggle for victory over sin. 
 
 Or perhaps, for some reason or other, you 
 are m difficulty about what you ought to 
 l^elieve. 'J^hese are days when Satan sorely 
 vexes souls with doubts and difficulties in 
 matters of faith. Well, come and let us see 
 whether God has not in store for you some 
 light, all unexpected, and all sufficing for the 
 removal of your perplexity. In the instruc-

 the clergy can !)e seen. So you can either 
 make an appointment in person or by letter. 
 Anyhow, do your best to come to as many 
 services as you can. And besides coming 
 yourself, you may be able to arrange so that 
 those in your househeld should come, some 
 to one service, some to another, so that all 
 may get to some part of the Mission. 
 
 If you are amongst those who are indeed 
 doing their best to serve Christ our I,ord, 
 still we wouM say, « Come, come and help 
 in the Mission ; come and pray with all and 
 for all, and may Ciod abundantly bless your 
 endeavors." 
 
 How to get Good from the Mission. 
 
 I. Come to as many services at the same 
 hour as you possibly can. For instance, if 
 you can come in the morning, come everj; 
 morning; if you can come in the evening, 
 come evefy evening. This is important, 
 because the subjects at the same hour each 
 morning or evening will be closely connected, 
 so that missing one of the series, may be like 
 dropping a link in a chain. But of course, if 
 
-7 
 
 you cannot come to all, come to any service 
 you can. , 
 
 2. Remember all through the Mission that 
 God is speaking to you in a very special 
 manner. As we sometimes speak to one 
 another with what we call special emphasis, 
 so in a Mi.ssion riod speaks to hearts with 
 special clearness, loudness, and authority. 
 He claims souls through a special effort which 
 He haH inspired His minister to make in His 
 name. Therefore, after sermons or addresses, 
 try and give a little time to quiet considera- 
 tion, either at home or in Church. Apply 
 what has been said to yourself. Think, 
 " God has been speaking to me : what ought 
 I to do?" 
 
 3. At the beginning of the Mission, 
 f^olemnly promise to Almighty God that, by 
 His Grace, you will give up any sin that 
 most easily besets you, for at least the twelve 
 days of the Mission. 
 
 4. If you have not been in the habit of 
 regular prayer, ask any of the clergy con- 
 nected with the Church to recommend yoir 
 /ome prayers. Anyhow, begin some rule of 
 
 iSH, 
 
 imatrifiTiiii 
 
 iiiiEiivs;; 
 
iMM 
 
 8 
 
 prayer as soon as i>os.sll)le, and pray every 
 day for the Mission. • 
 
 5. If you are a communicant, you may 
 come more frequently to communion during 
 the Mission. 'I'hat is the l>est time to make 
 your prayer for yourself and others. 
 
 6. If anything that is said perplexes you 
 ask the Preacher or one of the other clergy 
 to explain what is meant. 
 
 7. Remember that all Divine inspirations 
 have some definite end in view. They lead 
 to something to be done in our daily life- 
 something to be set in order-something to 
 ^)e laid aside— some virtue to be looked after 
 —some sin to be more carefully guarded 
 against. Take care, therefore, that you 
 make some good resolution. It is a good 
 plan to write it down before the end of the 
 Mission, and keep it by you for the future. 
 You can ask advice about this of any of the 
 clergy. 
 
 Things to be done in the Mission. 
 
 There are some things to which you may 
 be quite sure that God is calling you, if you 
 have not already done them, e. ^. .— 
 
i 
 
 I. If you have not been already baptized, 
 you may feel sun that (;od would have you 
 make up your luind to present yourself at 
 once as a candidate, that you may he bap- 
 tized sooner or later, as may seem best. 
 We read that when the jailer at Philippi was 
 converted he " was baptized, he and all his 
 straightway." When St. Paul was converted 
 and asked of our Lord Jesus Christ, " Lord, 
 what wilt Thou have me to do?" The Lord 
 said unto him, '* Arise and go into the city, 
 and it shall be told thee what thou must do." 
 And soon we read that he " arose and was 
 baptized." Acts ix, i8. 
 
 2. U you have never been confirmed, think 
 again and again of the text, " then laid they 
 their hands on them, and they received the 
 Holy Ghost." Acts viir, 17. God then gave 
 His Holy Spirit through the laying on of 
 hands ; the Apostles could not give it— they 
 were men, just as much as our Bishops— but 
 God gave it, and through the laying on of 
 hands. He will do the same now to " them 
 that ask Him." Luke xi, 13. 
 
 3- If you have never been to Communion, 
 do not rest until you have taken some definite 
 
10 
 
 step towards approaching this Sacrament in 
 a proper frame of mind. I do not say, come 
 at once, without any conference with your 
 clergy, but set to work in. some way to j^re- 
 pare for your first Communion. You might 
 give m your name as one that wished to join 
 a class for that purpose, or to be prepared in 
 «ome other way. Remember that you have 
 not yet obeyed your Saviour's almost dyinij 
 command, "Do this in remembrance of me " 
 Oh, who would bear to go on without 
 obeymg that ? 
 
 4- If you have been in the habit of fre- 
 <iuentmg Church, and coming to Communion, 
 but have felt the need of some more decided 
 and helpful preparation for your Communion, 
 If you have felt at times uneasy about your- 
 self when coming, rem^ember that there is 
 special provision for your case in the 
 invitation which the Church gives you to 
 open your grief" to one of Christ's 
 imn,sters, that you may -receive the benefit 
 of Absolution, togetncr with ghostly counsel 
 and advice, to th^ quieting of your con- 
 science, and avoiding of all scruple nnd 
 liouotfuiness." (Prayer-book.)

 Don't seruple to make use of this most 
 helpful provision. Ask anyone of the clergy 
 to helj) you in this way. We are set apart by 
 the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, to be of use 
 in comforting and strengthening those who 
 feel : .emselves weakened by sin, and wearied 
 in their strife with temptation; and to assist 
 with special means those who desire to live 
 as closely as possible to their Blessed 
 Saviour. 
 
 We are, dear friends, your servants for 
 Jesus Christ's sake.
