Council of Churches to Christ
ians of America.

for all law violators including

who oppose themselves and all

Another suggestion for prayer
is for rulers and diplomats "and
all who have responsibility to
seek the peace of the world"
A plea is made for prayer for
those of other races "offtimes

bers with US Of the one family

sional men and women; teachers
