Prayer,' by Mr. H. M. GOOCH
EVERY year since 1846 the World's Evangelical
Alliance has ushered in tho New Year by organizing a universal week of prayer, and many churches, missionary societies, and religious bodies in all the countries of Europe and in the other continents of the world co-operate to make it deserve its name. In the British Isles alone, twenty Bishops have signed the annual invitation this year. Mr. Gooch has been General Secretary of the Alliance (British Organization) since 1904.
