UNION IN PRAYER
EVANGELICAL CHURCHES OF THE
WORLD To UNITE IN PRAYER.
THE CHURCHES IN SAVANNAH
WILL HOLD DAILY SERVICE AT
CHURCH OF ASCENSION.

Union Services to Begin Tomorrow
for One Week at the Same Hour.
No Lectures VIII Be Delivered.
Each Meeting Will BE Presided
over by a Different Minister-SOng
and Prayer VIII Mark the Serv-
ices-Prayer Will Go Up Daily
From All Evangelical PrOtestants
of the wOrId-CustOm in Practice
for More Than Fifty Years.
Beginning with Monday noon a spe-
cial series of meetings will be held
daily at the Lutheran Church Of the
Ascension by the Ministerial Associa-
ton of Savannah. The week will be
strictly observed as a week of prayer.
The first week of the New Year will
be thus observed throughout the en-
tire country, and everywhere services
will be held daily.
The plan is the custom which was
adopted fifty years ago by the Evan
gelical Alliances Of the World. Rev.
Leander T. Chamberlain, D. D., of New
York, is president of the alliance, and
he has issued circulars to the secre-
taries of all the ministerial associa-
tions in the country and to the indi-
vidual ministers in the smaller towns
and villages where no associations ex-
list asking them to observe the week
as one of special prayer.
Rev. w. A. Nisbet, pastor of the
Westminster Presbyterian Church, and
president of the Savannah Ministerial
Association, has formerly issued the
call to the Savannah ministers to unite
in observing the week. The meetings
will be held at noon daily in the Luth-
eran Church of the Ascension. Each
meeting will be presided over by one
of the city ministers and will be de-
voted to a song and prayer service.
In the invitation issued by the World
Alliance series of subjects on which
lectures were to be delivered by diff
ferent pastors was printed. The Sa-
Vannah ministers will not observe this
series and no lectures will be deliver
ed Each day will be devoted, how
ever, to praying for that department
on which the entire Christian Prot
testant world is uniting. The follow
ing is the list of subject for prayers:
Subjects for Prayer.
Tomorrow the subject will be, 1.-THE
warrant the Privilege the Power. of
prayer" All will be asked to unite in
praying that God may answer the petit
lions of His children and accomplish
his salvation to the ends of the
earth"
THE Church of Christ will be the
subject of the service on Tuesday the
prayer being THAT the union of true
believers with one another by reason
of their union with Christ, may be
recognized and perfectly honored and
that mutual love may be manifested
by the whole-hearted cooperation in
Christian Work"
"All Nations and All People" will
be the subject for Wednesday. The

FASTENED when nations shall regard
themselves as members Of one family;

cussed in all their lights. The sub
Jects cover a wide field and the speak
ers are all men who are in close touch
with modern ways of living and who
have come up, for the greater part,
through similar temptations.
Each speaker will, to a great ex-
tent, be allowed to choose his own
subject, and number of speakers have
already promised to conduct one of the
series of meetings. These have an
nounced their subjects. The only re-
striction placed upon a speaker is
that he treat of that which he con-
siders the greatest danger or dangers
confronting the young men of the
country to-day
The first of the series will be held
this afternoon. The speaker will be
Mr.. w. B. Stubs, Esq, and he has
chosen as his topic, Satisfied With
Living on Low Ideals" The subject
will be treated in detail and its many
phases fully brought out A tenor
solo by Mr.. w. E. johnson will be
the musical feature of the meeting
this afternoon.
Topics have been arranged for each
Sunday in January making five num-
bers of the series already complete. 1t
is probable that several others will be
added and that the series will run
well into, If not through, the month
of February. All Of the meetings will
be made as attractive as possible. and
besides the special addresses there will
be special musical programmes ar
ranged A large audience should greet
Mr.. Stubs in his opening address of
the series this afternoon.

| that the brotherhood of man and the
fatherhood of God may be universally
! recognized, and that racial and ma
| tional inferiority and superiority may
always be estimated in the light of
common divine origin; a common re-
demption in Christ, and common
! heirship through faith in life eternal"
| Thursday the subject for prayer will
be Missions, Home and Foreign" The
| prayer will be THAT the church, in her
| obedience to the last command of the
Saviour, may give to the cause of mis-
sions her ardent love, and may sustain
that cause by boundless gifts of men
! and means"
Friday the subject will be 1.-THE Fam
! ily and the School," The prayer will
be THAT the family may be every
where recognized as existing by Gods
appointment and as constituting a
| source and defense of all social well
fare: and that all our schools and in
| situations of learning be grounded in
| truth and the love of it."
The meetings will close with the SER
vice on Saturday. The subject will
be "The enforcement Of Christ on
Earth" The prayer will be THAT
Christ may be crowned in all hearts
and lives: that His rule of love, His
law of right, may have complete do
rninion, and that humanity's advance
may thus be as the path of the righte-
Gus that shineth more and more unto
the perfect day.
Choice of the Church.
The Ascension Church was chosen
because of it's central location. In
the heart of the business district of
the city it is ideally suited to the
| purpose, and those who would be un-
able to attend a service in a more dis
tant part of the city, will be able
to spend a few moments in prayer
at this church.
The hour, IL O'Clock noon, was chosen
also for its convenience. Those who
are engaged in their daily vocations
can stop for a few minutes at the
church on their way to and from bust
! ness, and unite their prayers with
those of the entire world. The serv-
ices will begin promptly at noon, and
will last not more than an hour.
Invitation to Prayer.
DR.. Chamberlain. president of the
World Alliance, in issuing his invita-
ton to all to Join in the week of
prayer says:
existing conditions call for a re-
newed and Worldwide appeal to the
throne of heavenly grace. With I'M
precedented swiftness and momentum
the course of events moves on. Ma
lions are in commotion. Races are at
variance. Glasses angri1y contend.
False religions dream of new conquests.
The lust of the flesh and the lust of
the eyes, and the vain-glory of life,'
take captive the souls of men.
what the church lacks is precise
ly what she may gain through united
prayer: The augmenting of her faith,
the sanctifying of her life, the per-
fecting of her unity"
