CHURCHES TO
OBSERVE DAY
FOR PRAYERS

In keeping with President Wilson's
proclamation that he desired the ma
ton to observe Sunday, October 20th,
as a day of prayer for our nation in
the war, the prayer and sermons at
the Episcopal church will be specially
selected to bring out the thought en-
bodied in the chief executives mes
sage on the subject.
Rev. Zinn's themes of the sermons
will be based on the idea that eve
should pray to be on Gods side in this
great world struggle rather than to
pray that God be on our side, because
if we are on Gods side, then we shall
know that we are fighting for the prin-
ciple of Gods justice and rights"
Rev. j. j. Patton, Of the Methodist
church, has made careful preparation
for his sermon along the suggestion
Of the Presidents proclamation and
his subject is why praying people
have confidence to ask God to give vic
tory to our army" This will be the
morning subject.
