EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.

The Evangelical Alliance pursues the calm tenor of its pure, peaceful, and love-

promoting course. The third Annual Conference of the British Organization was tobe held in Glasgow on the second week of last month (October). The investigation

of Infidelity, Popery, the desecration of the Lord's Day, and the state of religion

where the French and Italian languages are spoken, &c., had been committed to

different divisions of the British Organization. The committee of the Southern or

London Division have determined to offer two prizes of20 each for the best

Essay, and 15 for the second-best Essay, being the production of working men,

on the principles and operations of Infidelity among the working classes:And a

prize of100 (the competition being open to persons of all classes) for the best

Essay on the general subject ofInfidelity (whether British or Foreign), its various

aspects, and modes of operation.

The astonishing success of Mr. Henderson's working men's prizes for Essays on the

Sabbath, brought out most fully one feature of the agethe intelligence to be

found among the people; a feature that ought never to be overlooked in any great

religious or philanthropic movement. Half a century ago, when Dr. Claudius

Buchanan wished to arouse the British Churches to the claims of India, he offered a

series of munificent prizes to all the Universities and several of the public schools,

for the best Essays on subjects bearing on the Christianizing of the East. But

monopoly among prizes is passing away. Since that time the Schoolmaster and the

Bible have been abroad, and the effects of their presence are fast beginning to

appear.

We call the attention of our readers to the following announcement

WEEKLY CONCERT IN PRAYER. EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.

BRITISHORGANIZATION.

The Members of the Organization, and Christians in general, are

affectionately reminded of the following resolution of the Conference of

the Evangelical Alliance:

That as the Christian Union which the Alliance desires to promote can

only be obtained through the blessed energy of the Holy Spirit, it berecommended to the Members present, and absent Brethren, to make

this matter the subject of simultaneous weekly petition at the Throne of

Grace, and the forenoon of Monday is suggested as the time for that

purpose.

It is hoped that all the Members of the Organization will set apart some

portion of each Monday throughout the year for this sacred

employment. And Christian Brethren who may not have entered into

membership are respectfully informed that they will not be regarded as

committed to the Alliance if they should be disposed to unite in this

arrangement, or to bear their part in any of the Devotional Servicesconnected with its meetings.

For the honour of Christ, for the advancement of His church, for the

salvation of the world, let us continue constant in Prayer.

The following letter, which has just been received, will be read with interest:

EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE. BRITISH ORGANIZATION. 7, Adam Street,

Adelphi, Strand. London, April 10, 1849.

My dear SIR,

An opportunity occurs of sending direct to your quarter of the globe, of

which I have been informed by our chairman, Sir Culling E. Eardley. I

gladly embrace it to convey to you, as chairman of the meeting, at which

an organization in furtherance of the objects of the Alliance in New

Zealand was originated, the cordial christian salutations of the brethren

of this land. We were rejoiced to learn that our principles and objects

had met with so prompt and hearty a response on the part of Christian

friends around you.

The demand of our Lord in the present age, is not only for the

maintenance of pure truth, but brotherly love. These are essential to

our usefulness and His honor in the church. The Council of this

Organization, therefore, hailed with the more delight and thankfulness

the good news from your far off, adopted country, which we were

privileged to receive.

May I request you to convey to your brethren the assurance of their

Christian sympathy. Pray for us, that the causes of distraction may be

removed from the midst of the churches here. We will pray for you, thatthe united works and labours of love to which you have put your hands

for spreading the truth of Christ, may be so succeeded by the grace that

cometh from above, that you may be enabled, in every path of

usefulness, and in all your Christian communities, to extend the blessed

influence of pure and undefiled religion, of winning and persuasive

charity.

It will at all times gladden our hearts to hear of your prosperity; and we

bid you good speed in the name of the Lord.

I remain,

Yours in the bonds of the Gospel,

WILLIAM BEVAN.

The Rev. J. Inglis,Wellington, New Zealand.

I send you some documents, which may interest your friends.
