This year the ladies of Trinity Anglican Church organized the special service for the World Day of Prayer, held on March 1. More than 60 people attended .the afternoon ser- vice. ACW President Lilian Beakhust said that it was of special significance that on this oc- casion six denominations were taking part in the service. The theme chosen was India and the pro- gram which had been prepared by the women of India, emphasized the many pro- blems which have to be faced in such a vast country. It looked at the inequalities which exist, the hardships and deprivation, as well as the ways which outside influence ag- gravate, rather than alleviate the situation. Guest speaker Jane -Davidson, has visited India and has first hand knowledge of the conditions there. She spoke with great sincerity and feeling. Present day technology, she said, brings into our homes pictures and reports of worldwide events. This recognized news communication is well accepted, however it represents a one-way communication. Mrs. DaVidson pointed out that satellite transmissions do not necessarily mean that •the extending news reaches out at a per- sonal level. She suggested that this might be overcome by a genuine attempt to project oneself into the situation of others, thereby appreciating more fully their sufferings. As well; as perhaps find through prayer, a change in ourselves. Mrs. Davidson suggested the formation of small prayer groups, which could meditate together and commit themselves to love and prayer. She touched briefly on the work she had observed in Indian agricultural project Of. Father Abraham which had overcome all barriers so that people from a variety 6f backgrounds were able to work in a prac- tical way to alleviate suffering and hardship on a longterm basis. And, most important of all, peace with each other. She noted that this was a place were possessions, meant owning a plate and a • mug, nothing else. However it was also ;a place where spiritual growth was as impor- tant as the agricultural objectives. Mrs. Davidson also referred to India's great leader, Mahatma Gandhi, a man who walked with the common people, a man of deepest religious principles, who lived and led his people through some of the greatest changes in the history of the country, and the man who identified himself with the poor. At the conclusion of the service, everyone was able to meet for refreshments at the parish hall. It was a special occasion and those taking part in the service were from the Roman Catholic Church, the United Church, Presbyterian, Baptist, Mennonite and Anglican Churches.
