Stirling, R.R.C. Mrs. D. J. Lane gave a brief address on the growth of the. World Day of Prayer from 1919- 1920 when the first committee was formed and the first Friday in Lent set aside as a day of prayer for women: In 1927 an Interim - Committee of Women's Missionary Societies of the various churches in Canada had been established. Mrs. D. B. Donaldson was chair- man and three representatives were appointed by each of the boards of the various churches. Its Main object was to Pro- mote the World Day of Prayer. and allocating of the offering to the publication and distribution. of Christian literature. Twenty- five years later, word came frorn the church women of the USA, that 104 countries celebrated this year-round bond amongst Christ- ians. Mrs. Lane pointed out that the growth of the observance in Can- ada had been phenomenal, In 1952, 2,388 groups had participat- ed, not counting those listening to the radio service or shut-ins, who according to the Saviour's prom- ise: "Where two or three are gath- ered together in My Name, there am I in the midst," worshipped in small groups. The number of copies of the order of service had increased to 170,000, In 1952, the total collection had been $31,590, a ten -fold increase in 21 years, The late Miss Bessie Macmurchy, To- ronto, had been treasurer for 22 years. Out of the interim -committee had grown an Inter -Church Coun- cil of Canada to take in not only purely missionary societies but all women, the main object of which is to unite women of Canada in every Christian effort to bring in the Kingdom of God in their own churches and throughout the world. Interest in the day has deepen- ed and influence has spread; a greater generosity has enabled in- crease in grants and additions of new ones to literature. These were the facts which Mrs. Lane made most interesting at this very impressive service. arnival FRIDAY, MARCH 6 • SEAFORTH ARENA "Spice on Ice" 100 Figure Skaters The biggest thing on ice to hit Seaforth in years.
