ton. Del, was a series of daily pc
riods of prayers for peace spon-
sored by the Wilmington Monthly
Meeting of the Society of Friends
(Quakers), which invited the gen.
eral public to gather at its meet
ing house for devotionS.
Many church groups have joined
in petitioning President Truman
to proclaim a national day Of
prayer.
Members of the three faiths
have responded to special calls for
prayer initiated by civic officials
in leading centers throughout the
country. In Memphis, Tenn,
churches and synagogues kept
their doors open throughout the
day in response to a proclamation
by Mayor Watkins Overton, who
urged citizens of all denominations
to offer petitions "for the future
of our Nation, and of the world
we know
Community Services.
In Grand Rapids, Mich, more
than a dozen religious groups
supported Mayor Paul G.. Goebel
in designating Friday. December
Is, as a day of prayer. Other
COMMUNICATIVE days of prayer
we're held in Fort Worth, Texas;
Columbia, S. c.; and Chattanooga,
Tenn, where Christmas shoppers
and downtown workers joined in
prayers led by ministers and lay
men from a dozen of the city's
leading churches.

vigil for peace" led by clergymen
of a dozen denominations was held
in the Chicago Temple, while in
Sacramento, Calf, a month-long
prayer for peace program was in

the Sacramento Ministerial AsSo-
citation.
The Sacramento program was
similar to one started in mid

public address systems in two
downtown parks broadcasting Or
gan music and prayers at noon
daily
Newspapers Cooperate.
Newspapers and radio stations
have echoed the appeals for prayer
to meet the challenges now con-
fronting the United States and
the world at large.
Radios part in the Nationwide
prayer movement was highlighted
by the ready response of network
to the suggestion of 13-year-old
Linda Keller of Hyattsville, Md.
that a prayer be offered on radio
stations each noon for American
servicemen in Korea.
The Armed Forces Chaplains
Board is cooperating in furnish
ing Army, Navy and Air Force
chaplains to deliver the prayers
which are recorded and broadcast
over 200 or more stations on the
network each day.
One prominent newspaper which
is actively cooperating in the
prayer crusade is the Nashville
(Tenn.l Banner, which is carry
ing short. front-page editorials
urging readers to devote them
selves to daily PRAYER.

The Week in Religion
By RELIGIOUS News Service

This mid-century Christmas

of the most prayerful moods in
their history.

situation, calls for prayer on be-
half of peace are resounding from
one end of the nation to the other.
EXhortations to prayer for Di-
vine intercession and guidance
have come not only from church
bodies but also from civic au-
thorities and secular leaders in
every section of the country.
Even business firms have Joined
in the national prayer crusade. In
Raleigh, N. c., the Seaboard Air
Line Railway shops and the Buck
eye Cotton Oil Co. are blowing
factory whistles at 9 am. each
day signifying a brief period of
prayer throughout the city in the
interest of world peace.

or nine-day periods of prayer, for
peace. The novenas are being
made in response to a plea by
Pope Plus XII urging Catholics
to invoke God for concord
among peoples
In North Carolina, meanwhile
the Baptist State Convention has
designated December 81 as a spe-
cial day of prayer and repentance
on behalf of world peace.
Adventists Call Crusade.
Leaders of the Seventh day
Adventist Church have issued a
call to co-religionists throughout
the world for a special crusade OF
prayer for Divine Intervention in
the present crisis.
Similar appeals have come from
the Council of Bishops of the
Methodist Church which held its
semiannual meeting in New York
and the General Department OF
United Church Women of the
National Council of Churches.
In Buffalo, N. Y, young moth
er's concern for our children anc
