THE children’s SERVICES AT CAMDEN ROAD. 33 
ning a fresh year. I -want you, with me, to give your- 
selves solemnly to Jesus for the year 1876. Tell 
Him that you will try not so often to forget Him ; 
and ask Him to help you to love Him, and to love 
one another more ; to be more like Jesus every day ; 
so that this year may be far better than the last. 
‘‘ But perhaps you have not yet given your hearts to 
Jesus. He has sent you many invitations , — -perhaps 
hundreds ; but you have not accepted them. This 
letter is another invitation. All I ask you to do is to 
trust in Jesus as your Saviour, and to resolve that 
you will try to follow Him. Remember this is some- 
thing you can do. Oh, I do very earnestly ask you 
to decide now ! 
“ I do not know when I shall have to say ‘ good- 
bye ’ to you. I may start for Africa in February, or 
it may be July. Oh, how it would encourage me for 
my work there if all your hearts were given to Jesus ! 
You all know that this is what I want. And this is 
the only way in which you can have a happy New 
Year. — Your affectionate friend, T. J. COMBER.” 
“ My DEAR May, — I am so glad to see your face 
again at the meeting, it seems a very long time since 
you and Emmie were there, but now I hope you will 
both be able to come out all through the winter 
services, if weather permits. 
‘‘ Didn’t we have a nice meeting to-night with Mr. 
Wigner? I am sure that many of those who stayed 
really wanted to love the Saviour, and to enter into 
His fold. Oh, do pray for these services, dear May, 
that all the children who come may give their hearts 
to Jesus, and be the Saviour’s lambs. 
“ As to those questions I spoke to you about, we 
shall not form that young Christian’s band which we 
intended, and so shall not give out the question 
papers, but I will put them down here, and you 
can answer them earnestly to yourself and to the 
Saviour.
