O r DAY OF PRAYER
TO-DAY IS World Day of Prayer.

TO-DAY IS World Day of Prayer.
WORLD "a Of Prayer will be observed in thousands
Of churches throughout the United States and the world. The
theme this year is Faith in Our Time" a theme prepared by
Mich HAWAI-, a japanese Christian, presently studying in a
college in the United States. World Day Of Prayer, is tradi-
.tiohaIly observed on the first Friday in Lent since 1922.
AT NO TIME in the history Of the world has PRAYER
meant more to people and nat ions, to the ideals for which
they stand, or think they stand, and the life Of their hopes.
Regardless of what men may say or think, the time has come
when man must stop long enough to look himself in the face
and decide whether he has reached the end of his rope, wheth-
er byhis own hands, and through his own skill and invention
he has put together the instrument of his own destruction.
PEOPLE ALL over the world, and particularly in the de-
mocrahc countries where men are free to read what they will,
there is a tendency to turn to those ~intangibles which bring
renewed inner strength, and to rededicate themselves to those
things which maintain the sancity Of the Individual. II is for
this reason that the news to go ahead with the hydrogen Bomb
was received with such sobriety in America. These are serious
times, SO serious that men who dismissed prayer as a means
of inner reinforcement, are now beginning to take cognizance.
1T MIGHT be well if we here joined in. the World Day
of Prayer, along with our fellowmen throughout the globe. It
will form an unbroken chain of hopes going in one direction,
and striving tor one and the same objective, and that can bring
the kind Of moral strength which, if properly applied, can be
extremely forceful And even as this Day of Prayer i, being
observed, plans are being laid down to provide another CAPT
tai for the United States, and to decentralze the functions
of government, fori is admitted that a thousandpomd hydro
gen bomb can demolish Washington beyond recognitionIs
it any wonder, then, that men are beginning to reaIlign their
forces in an effort to divert human energy from the field Of
destruction, or possible destruction, to that Of peaceful ac-
complshmentP
