Perhaps no other president Of the

to the people for a day of prayer to
Almighty God for peace when foreign
nations we're at war. We the people
of Hays, Kansas, are truly glad that
this nation has produced = workman

brotherhood. We suggest that in com
pliance with this big democratized
''call to prayer" that all denomina-
tions hold union hour OF worship and
be as generally democratic and frater-
nal as the president desires Us to be.
Let US as a people meet the call az
genuinely, as honestly, as reiigOusly,
as patriotically az christians who be
lieve and teach universal peace should.
Unless the hand Of destructive war is
soon checked, it will take three hun
dred years Of the future to build = |
