Community Prayer Days

Heretofore It has seemed probable that the
invasion Ct Japans home islands would be
delayed rrtil the bulk of the forces being
transferred from Europe to the Pacific had
reached their destination, and the bombing OF
Japanese centers has been preliminary step,
as happened in Europe. But it now appears,
on the surface at least, that the day OF in
vasion is not as distant as many supposed.
With the Navy Smelling important centers
OF production on the coast of Japan's home
land, in conjunction with the continued bomb
ing raids, il is reasonable to think that landing
expeditions may be very near. This view is
supported by announced changes in command
of naval units operating within Japans home
waters.
The composite thinking of America has long
been concentrated upon this second D-Day. The
composite prayers of the nation must now be
concentrated upon it, success. And in addition
wives, mothers, sweethearts and daughters of
the men who will take part in it must pray
for fortitude to bear the losses many inevitably
face.
Japan will be conquered. OF that we may
be as sure as we were that Germany would
be defeated. But in the conquest death will
invade many American homes. It is fitting that
all families with loved ones in the theater OF
war turn humbly to the only source from
which strength to endure the loss can be de.
rived. Frequent days of community prayer are
in order.
