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

MiMMl

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

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. 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

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

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.
