means spiritual communion in nation

of the Red Cross, through the loyal
team work of its numbers sent out on
April 10Th its quota of surgical dress
ings.
On account of losing our efficient
chairman Miss Helen Brady our branch
had fallen behind and it was only
through the persistent and untiring ef-
forts of the workers that we were able
at the last to go cover the Top" with
our quota. Let me right here, thank
you. "my co-workers of dressings,
pneumonia jackets, pads and rolls" for
the way you stood, not in the trenches,
but at those blessed tables making it
possible that we send every single thing
required of us. We cannot afford EVER
to drop behind. Just pause minute in
your daily activities and think of the
hundreds of men laid low at each new
attack by the Huns and the growing,
ever growing need of more dressings.
Can we let a single life be la.t because
we have not giver, oNr morning, after
noon or e>eaing to have the things
necessary for that faithful doctor or
nurse to use in their work. Can we let

NOON DAY PRAYER IN THE CHURCHES
AND HOMES
A movement has recently been inaug-
urated in the cities which might be
called 1.-THE New Angelus." wherein
men, women and children, everybody
is asked to stop in whatever under
taking they are engaged at the noon
hour and pray. We are asked to pray
| fervently and sincerely for a blessing
on the soldiers in the trenches and the
sailors on the high sea- We are to be-
seech Almighty God to guide our Presi-
dent that he may lead our Nation
through this time of great crisis. and
that we and our Allies may have a
speedy victory against our enemies.
The movement has become widespread
and we urge that our people, too, adopt
it. We most heartily endorse the plan.
and urge that our people. SO far as pos
sible, shall at each noon hour or at
some other time each day offer up earn
est prayer for the success of the Allies
in this. the worlds great struggle for
righteousness. liberty and Justice. So
our church bell will ring at the noon
hour sounding the call to prayer. ! am
sure we can all offer brief and spon-
taneous prayer from the heart which
readily comes to all-for our hearts are
with the boys at the front and We are
daily asking God to take care Of them
and bring them home safely and to give
US speedy and lasting peace. Let US
remember that Faith on her knees is
stronger than the devil on his throne ;"
Surely this is the time for earnest
prayer in behalf of the wnr' J, and in-
asmuch as Christ has given Hs the ideal
for Church: :"The House of Prayer
for al! paorle.'' we trust our own wor-
shippers will heed the suggestion herein
made.
