HURON OLD BOYS
WILL MEET ON JAN. 29
WOMEN PLAN CALL
TO PRAYER
In the hope of dispelling prejudtc
and hatred and bringing peace 10
the world a group of Canadian wo-
men of all sects and representing all
national organizations are urging it
"call to prayer" -a moment set aside
in the daily routine.
More than 200.000 prayer colds
will be distributed across Canada
printed in both English and French.
And at noon each day it is hoped
women will stop a moment in their
hones, offices and gathering places
to repeat the simple appeal in a con-
centrated effort to rebuild faith and
peace in the world.
The prayer, patterned after one is-
sued by the league for service, in
England before war began, was
drafted by a small group of women
of Roman Catholic, Jewish and Prot-
estant faiths here.
It reads:
"0 God, the Father of Its all, Who
bast made of one blood all nations
of man, mercifully receive the pray-
ers
rayers that we offer for our anxious and
troubled world.
"Send Thy light into our darkness
and guide the nations as one family
into the ways of peace.
"Take away all prejudice, hatred
and rear.
"Give grace to all who serve and
suffer because of War.
"Strengthen in us day by day the
will to understand one another and
forgive us our trespasses as we for-
give them that trespass against us.
"To those who by their counsels
lead the peoples of the earth grant
a right judgment that so through
them and us Thy will be done.
"Through Jesus Christ Our Lord,
amen."
The annual meeting of the Huron
Old Boys' Association of Toronto will
be held at the West End Y,M.C.A.,
College street at Dovercourt Road, on
Monday evening, January 29th, at

cordially invited to be present. -R.
