From the Centenary News.l
Members Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. South. will on April 10th. pray
for Il church-wide and spirit-led revi-
val in America. The Methodists are
not planning any close communion in
the matter. but are asking all churches
and church people in America to join
them.
Conditions of the times in which we
are living and the great need Of the
world for spiritual regeneration are
the factors which have suggested this
idea of the special day Of prayer to
the MethodiSts Leaders of the de-
nomination hope that the idea will
spread rapidly throughout the country
so that by the time the 10th arrives
every Methodist. Baptist. Presbyterian
and all other Protestant denominations
will he praying for the great spiritual
awakening throughout the world.
The Methodists have particularly
caught Il vision Of the need of this re-
vival because of the Centenary Move
