T. Austin-Sparks addresses the profound need for the revealing of the arm of the Lord, emphasizing that God's strength and support are essential in times of spiritual weakness and societal turmoil. He draws parallels between biblical events, such as Israel's deliverance from Egypt and Babylon, and the current state of the world, highlighting the urgent need for a heartfelt cry from God's people for divine intervention. Sparks encourages believers to recognize the dishonor done to God by the current state of Christianity and to seek a deeper understanding of God's purpose. He stresses that the revealing of God's arm is contingent upon a sincere cry for help from His people, urging them to intercede for both their own spiritual condition and the broader world. Ultimately, he calls for a renewed commitment to prayer and intercession as a means to invite God's power into the present situation.

Luke Howard addresses a letter to a friend in America, critiquing a posthumous treatise by Job Scott on 'Salvation by Christ.' Howard expresses concerns about Scott's unconventional views on regeneration, suggesting that Scott's doctrines may lack proper grounding in Scripture and may lead to confusion and division within the religious community. Howard highlights the importance of humility, charity, and a deep understanding of the teachings of Christ to avoid falling into doctrinal errors and self-righteousness. He urges for a sincere and spiritually minded approach to faith, emphasizing the need for practical application of Christian principles rather than mere intellectual assent to doctrines.
