L. T. NICOLA
Much depends upon those who are called to lead the meetings during this important week, and therefore they need to seek God for a preparation and an experience that will enable them so to conduct the services that the most good possible may result. It would be well if the elder of the church and other prominent brethren and sisters could have meetings for prayer and consultation, before the week of prayer begins. In these preparatory meetings they could consider and make arrangements for the meetings during the week of prayer. The needs of the church should be carefully considered. Are any laboring under discouragement? Have any, for any reason, become careless or indifferent? Are any afflicted, and in need of special care? All these should be looked after.
