Trans -Canada network v' Many United in Day of Prayer Service A large number of women of Clin- ton united to-gether in the Clinton Baptist Church last Friday afternoon for their annual service on the World Day of Prayer. This service is always held on the first Friday in Lent and is always especially helpful as a guide for one's thoughts and prayers through- out the Lenten season. This year the service had as"deader Mrs. N. McLean, of the Clinton Bapt- ist Church, who announced the theme of the service, "And the Lord wonder- ed that -there was no intercessor," and read the passages of scripture on the program. Assisting in the service were Mrs. F. 0. Ford of St. Paul's Church, who led in that part of the "service entitled ddMyrrh'for all those in bitter dis tress. ' The second section, "Frankincense," for intercession, was under the leader ship of Mrs. F, Fingland of Wesley- W]liis United Church. Special praye'r's were given by Mrs. F. Hudie of St. Paul's Church and Mrs. Todd of the Presbyterian Church. Miss M. A. Stone of Wesley -Willi§ Church gave the devotional address on "Prayer" which was inspiring, instructive and sincerely appreciated by all present. Her opening remarks were a challenge to all—What wond- ers there would The, if alI men were united in prayer on that one day. Miss Stone then briefly outlined the history of Prayer—from, the prayers and sacri- fices at the Temple in Jerusalem-- until'th e time m Christ st name with the startling revelation that one might pray to God, as a child speaks to Its father. Continuing, Miss Stone spoke of the many things asked for in the impres- sive service of the day, and this was the challenge--wouldwe get them? Do our prayers lack urgency and what sacrifices are we willing to make. For centuries' men, women and Children have offered prayers, • morn - 'nes noon and night, yet so many prayers have not been answered. That questions our sincerity. Do our pray- ers include all people, even those of enemy and occupied; countries? If we try to exclude them, we are excluding ourselves. We pray "Thy Kingdom Coyne"— but are we ready to accept the respon- sibilities of helping to establish that Kingdom? We pray "Thy Will Be done', --It often appears that we mean others; to do it, and 'not ourselves. We pray, "Give us this day our daily bread"—do we pray that all unfor- tunate people may have food. We are reminded that Christ wasable t ab e t o feed a huge multitude through the wt1 ng ofsmalllad. generosity a sm t Do we gram bleout brationing amounts a n ng or m ants of food shipped to countries where peo- ple are in dire need of. The simple necessities of life. We pray "Lead us not into temp- tation" -and yet we are wrongly in- flueneed by the movies. books, radio and magazines. In planning our, post- war world we must not be tempted to allow any hatred to dictate any future activities. We pray, "Deliver us from Evil"-, and in the plans for a brave new world 1 Canada will have a place. Many people of the countries that have been laid desolate,will seek homes in Canada.
