IN TlflS D.AY of political cleavages. multiple religious ideologies and various Christian denominations—even split denominations in towns and cities—an encouraging sign of coming unity within Christianity is the world day of prayer. It is a day set aside for Christ tians all over the world—in Pocahontas, lowa, and Delhi. India—to lift a common plea to Christ. The day has a long history. As tar back as 1887. Presbyterian women 'in the United States were summoned by Mrs. Darwin R. James, president of the women’s board of home missions, to gather on a specified date in their own communities for united prayer. Such a day continued to be set apart annually. In the early nineties, foreign mission leaders named a day for united prayer. For many years, the home and foreign mission groups observed days of pray er separately, but in 1919 they came together. In 1920 they were .joined by Canadian women, and the first Friday in Lent was chosen as the “day of prayer for missions” —home and foreign. In numberless places, from missionaries returning to the homeland, the thought of a day of prayer spread until at the request of many, the ‘‘day of prayer” became in 1927 a “world day of prayer.” By 1950 Christians in more than 90 countries joined in the observance of the day. The day begins west of the date line in New Zealand and the Fiji Islands, and as the day progresses, new groups join in praise and prayer until some 40 hours later it ends at Gambell on St. Lawrence Island, off the coast of Alaska, 30 miles east of the date line ati about the same distance from th< Arctic Circle. All these groups are praying

that Christians may be one in service for Jesus Christ, that barriers of race and class may be eliminated and that all may truly learn to follow Him whose way is the way of life for all men—and that men may find the way by which individuals and nations may live together in peace and understanding.* In 1923 the first offerings of local day of prayer gatherings were received at headquarters. It had been early decided that all promotion should be directed toward the observance of the day and not toward the offering, but free-will offerings have increased from year to year until in 1949 they amounted to more than a quarter million dollars. Mission projects named as the recipients of such gifts are; in national missions, work among migrant and sharecropper groups and religious work directors in government Indian schools, and in the foreign misson field, Christian literature, he eight women's union Christian colleges in the Orient, and work among foreign students in U. S. A., thus turth ert n g causes that,

through the years, have become so dear to the praying women of the churches. The world day of prayer programs have been prepared year by year by Christian leaders of various lands. The two mission groups in 1942 transferred to the united council bf church women responsibility for the publication of the world day of prayer programs and their distribution to local interdenominational and other groups throughout the United States. All promotion and correspondence with foreign lands was left with the foreign missions conference. The committee on world day of prayer has on it representatives from the foreign missions conference and the home mission council as well as from the united council of church women. The committee plans long in advance for the observance on the world day of prayer. First comes the task of deciding on the country to be responsible for the program and the finding of an author or authors. The service, when prepared, is mimeographed and mailed by the foreign missions conference in early June to representatives in more than 90 cooperating lands, where it is translated into the languages used in these areas. It may be written originally in the language of the country where it originated, re-written in English, from which it is again translated into Hindu, Spanish, Greek, Arabic. Chinese, etc. The leaders in each land adapt the form and phraseology in order that the program may meet the needs of the groups by whom it is to be used. The world day of prayer committee prints and distributes more than two million copies of the call and prayer m the United States where some 10.006 communities observe the world day of prayer.

Washington

-T CTION in the United States senate confirms a prediction made in this column last November that the navy still has a “chip on its shoulder” over the ouster of Adm. Louis Denfeld as chief of naval operations. This column said of the ouster. “That should be the last of it. But apparently the navy is still aggrieved and there promises to be more fireworks when congress convenes in January.’* Well, the fireworks have started with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy «R. Wis.) questioning the truthfulness of Secretary of the Navy Francis Matthews, bringing about a reopenifig Os the Denfeld case and a delay in the confirmation tat this writing) of Denfeld’s successor, Adm, Forrest P. Sherman. Republicans. who the week before dropped all demands for an investigation of the Denfeld case, now insist that Secretary Matthews be called for a “full explanation.” Question hinges upon whether or not Denfeld was issued a new two-year commission, or if he was, whether or not he was ever sworn in, Or even if he was sworn in, has the President the power to fire him anyway? • • • The 64-yenr old ff§ht over federal taxes on oleomargarine is ended. Federal taxes have been repealed, a bitter defeat for the dairying and creamery interests. Only differences in the senatepassed bill and the house bill were minor, requiring that qleo be sold in triangular patties and that notices be posted in restaurants using yellow oleo. Os course, there is no law which would prohibit restaurants* serving butter in triangular patties. But the bill repeals the 10-cent federal tax on a pound of yellow oleo and a -fourth-cent on white oleo, S6OO a year license fee for wholesalers of yellow and S2OO a year fee for white margarine, S4B a year for retailers of yellow and $6 for retailers of white oleo. The senate progressively defeated a dozen amendments to the measure which included tacking on of all the civil rights measures as proposed

They brought some films taken and the showing of them, and Washington sight-seeing were some highlights of Mrs. Holloway’s visit. Mr. and Mrs. Joel Wilt left last

by the Truman administration. Debate on the measure was bitter and ran the gamut of politics involving the farm vote. Examples: Said Sen. Karl Mundt (R..5.D.), “We are confronted with just some plain, practical Pendergast politics which believes it can get some votes now by-inducing some city people to go along with them, because they are gemg to give them a little cheaper spread, and they probably are not going to lose many votes among the farmers, because primarily they are dealing with a group of people who have had the good judgment to votfe Republican anyway.’* Senator Mundt was Immediately challenged by a dozen senators asking him to give a resume of the farm vote at the last election which generally went Democratic. Said Sen. J. William Fulbright (D., Ark.), author of the bill, *1 do not believe that repeal will injure the dairy industry, much less destroy it. There is not even proof that repeal will do any great amount of damage to butter.” • • • Defeat of a southern Demo-crat-Republican coalition, both in the house rules committee * and on the floor of the house, was a definite victory for President Truman, but it may have reverberations throughout this session of the congress. Had the rebels won, it would have given Congressman Eugene Cox (D., Ga.), an avowed foe . of the Truman administration fair deal program, complete control of all house legislation by reversing action of the first session which sheared from the rules committee its absolute power to control all legislation by the simple process of pigeonholing it. Republicans, headed by former speaker, Joe Martin, and minority leader, Charles Halleck, joined m the coalition, although they sought to side-step responsibility by moving for an adjournment in order to prevent an expected vote on the FEPC measure. The move for adjournment was killed. Now they must vote FEPC either up at down.

Bro.eijood Week, February 19-26, 1960 — (Sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews) “Brotherhood For Peace And Freedom” is the inspiring slogan under which Brotherhood Week will be observed this year. The year--round purpose is “ —to promote justice, amity, understanding and cooperation among Protestants, Catholics and Jews, and to analyze, moderate and finally eliminate intergroup prejudices which disfigure and * stort religious, business, social and political relations, with a view to he establishment of a social order in which the religious ideals of brotherhood and justice shall become the standards of human relationships.” The Moving Picture Industry of America including your own local theatre is actively promoting this great cause. The NCCJ has helped to establish departments of human relations in a number of universities. Some of these it helps to finance. It operates summer work shops for teachers; and also works through the publishers of newspapers, the radio, the stage, magazines and books, in fact, through all media of mass appeal. In the Declaration of Independence the Founding Fathers proclaimed to the world, “All men are created equal and are endowed by ‘heir Creator with certain unalienable rights.” These words are the very foundation and cornerstone of our American democraey. There is no other enduring foundation for any nation. It is still true, “That nation aioue is great whose God is the Lord.” .Nations which adjust themselves to that conviction live and nations which refuse to adjust themselves to that conviction perish. Democracy can no more survive with- < tit an awareness ot God than a watch can run with a broken mainspring. freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion, any more than liberty of conscience means liberty from conscience. When m>u accept that as a basis tor lite there follows out of It a deep concern for people in terms of civil rights and a new consciousness of brotherbond. If God is our Father, then we are all His children and we arw brothers, living together for the common good. It is to this high task that the National Conference of Christians and Jews dedicates Brotherhood Week. Vt e cannot escape the fact that this week is observed in a grim hour for the world. There are cruel forces at work in our world which disavow and deny that conviction. The Communist attack on Catholic and Protest ant in many nations is founded upon the cynical sophistry that al) religions must be liquidated save the gospel of Karl Marx. If that diould come to pass, then human and civil rights and the brotherhood •t man would cease to exist on earth. This is the issfte before us today whether it comes to focus in the fifteen Protestant ministers in Bub aria. a Catholic Cardinal and a Lutheran Bishop in Hungary, a Coolie i China or a Negro in Georgia. It is time for us all to bear witness in ur own country to this belief in the Fatherhood of God and the brother><>d of man, not simply in word, but in deed. So shall we make our--elves secure and become a beacon of tight to all the world. You and you Mr. and Mrs. America can help forward thiz great ■“use by asking your local moving picture house manager for a mem“■in form today. t

AUTHORS WORRYING

Courage Wins JF YOU ARE worried because you lack a certain charm or great bcruty, and if your heart is filled with envy over some other who h's one or both, read the story of Lucy Foraker, Omaha, Nebraska, who conquered her own worry and most certainly is making of herself a person of beautiful character in so doing.

S’:? was in an automobile that had a h~~.tl-on col ision with another car. As she was thrust head first through th? windshield her face was badly cut. Sliejay in the hospital for weeks before she was pronounced “recovered.” Well, it didn’t seem like a “recovery” to her, for there was a jagged V-scar on her forehead; her left eye was drawn upward on the inner side by stitches; a nasty cut on her lip distorted the shape of her mouth; and her en-

tire face showed that there had been a mass of surface cuts. Naturally, her self-confidence was shot to pieces. She had to face the problem of re-adjusting herself to society generally as well as to her friends and business associates. After she started to work again, she overheard someone say, “Ask the lady with the scar.” That remark completely unnerved her. That was her description, that was the way people regarded her now! She slept little that night; the whole frightful nightmare had come upon her again with full force. Then courage raised its wonderful head. She got her mirror and studied her features. To herself she presented a hideous appearance. Then bravely she told herself that she would have to accept facts. From there she went on to say to herself, “Tomorrow you are going down the street with your head up, and you are going to look directly at everyone you meet. No matter what you heard said you are going to ignore it.” It didn’t run too smoothly at first, and day after day she had to battle with herself. But time helped and finally she won and mother nature helped to lessen the disfiguration, while she herself developed strength as she carried out her resolve.
