National Mid-Century Prayer
for Peace Announced by
Rev. w. L. Beckwith
URGES ALL TO PRAY

Local Methodists will join Sun
day, December 81 with the denom-
nations nearly nine million mem-
bers in national mid-century
prayer for peace, it was announced
today by the Rev. Walter L. Beck
with, pastor of Asbury Church. He
said the call to special prayer was
sounded by the Methodist Council
of Bishops and the church's Gener-
al Board of Evangelism in view of
"the exceptionally grave condition
of the world today" In a letter to
.p a stors of $4,000 Methodist
churches, the board urged every
congregation to unite in "a chain
of prayer on Mid-Century Sunday,
beseeching Gods guidance in cons
verting a world crisis to a just and
lasting peace" Declaring that
''mankind's hope for freedom is in
desperate jeopardy the plea for
prayer conceded with a similar re-
quest by the president of the new

Episcopal Bishop Henry Knox
Sheriff., of New York. He urged
all Protestants to offer prayers on
December 81 for "a peace which is
the fruit of righteousness" The
letter to pastors, stressing individ-
ual and group participation, stems
med from the following call by
Methodist bishops: with a sense
of deep urgency we call our fellow,
Methodists and all others who win
to join us in special prayer. Let us
pray daily for the leaders of our
country and of the United Nations,
that God will give them wisdom
and courage to seek and to do His
will. Let us pray for all who are
under the shadow of war; for those
who do battle for us -. the home
less, the hungry, the children. Let
: us pray for our enemies that God
may lead them in the way of right
eousness and peace"

HOUSE AND
CONTENTS BURN
Home, Furniture and Cloth
ing of Albert Daniels and
Family Are Destroyed
FOOD CLOTHING GIVEN

The Christmas spirit was exem-
plified in the way the community
of Clayton and the Red Cross came
to the assistance of family in
need last weekend, and many
hearts were touched and responses
to the need came from many
sources. To have a home destroy
ed by fire at any time is terrible
thing, but at Christmas-time it is a
real tragedy. However, the suf-
fering can be tempered when aid
appears from many sides. On Sat-
urday the home of Albert Daniels,
near Delaneys, west of Clayton
burned down with all of the pas
sessions of a family of father and
mother and four children, ranging
in age from four years to four
months. The Red Cross, under
the direction of Miss Kathryn
Warner, provided new clothing,
consisting of two suits of wearing
apparel for the children, and other
necessities. Groceries and meats
were provided by Sevil Sons and
Burris Market, Clayton, also box
of necessary foods was given by
Graham's store, Smyrna; and cases
of beans from Wheatley's cannery.
Have Use of Tenant House
| An empty tenant house was
loaned for the time being by N. S.
Wood, a cooking and a heating
stove appeared miraculously, fol-
lowed by two beds, bedding, dishes,
mattress, chairs, and a rug. The
family stayed overnight with Mr..
Daniels sister, Mrs. John Walton.
Children Get Toys
The Clayton firemen, who have
the interest of children at heart,
especially at Christmas, gave toys
candy, and fruit for the young
sters. The fire apparently started
in the chimney while the father
was in the woods cutting wood,
and the Clayton firemen were un-
able to save the house. Offers
were made of the use Of trucks to
supplement the work of the Red
Cross station wagon, manned by
Kathryn Warner, who did yeoman
service on Sunday and Monday
helping to get the family started.
The good works included the find
ing of a job for the father, who be-
gan work this week at Wheatley's
Cannery, Clayton. The Smyrna
PTA came to the rescue with
clothing for the husband and wife,
and their further needs will be
taken care of. Mrs. John L. john
