Earnest temperance workers throughout the country' will want to know how to promote and conduct such a revival. We answer, Just as you would any such work of grace. Prayer, continual prayer to God, is the first requisite ~it cannot be manufactured by old-stock anecdotes and speeches or by agitation for Stringent legal action merely. It must come from above, God will use only the consecrated heart in its promotion; so that to those who are longing for power to crush the great enemy, we say, Offer yourselves fully, entirely to God, and let each Christian woman every where say unto God, Here am I, send me and He may put upon you the high honor of using you, through an intensified piety, as an instrument in this holiest of crusades, for the protection and salvation of our imperilled Christian civilization.
