Prayer for America campaign to begin

“It’s time to pray, America”, is a dramatic plan to mobilize the nation in prayer for 40 days between this coming week end - and November 2. It is fast taking shape across the country. President Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, plus Billy Graham, Johnny Cash and Pat Robertson are among the key figures of the prayer campaign. Pastors from across the nation from virtually all demoninations will be leading their congregations in prayer for moral and ethical leadership in government, education, the media, business, the professions, church and family life. What the program seeks is a renewal of America's national committment as “One nation under God”, and a shift away from current trends towards moral decay, according to a spokesman for the Christian Broadcasting network (CBN) which is sponsoring the campaign. Some 200,000 American ministers, priests and rabbis have been invited to lead their congregations in prayer for America in each of the seven week ends between September 17 and the time America goes to the polls. Some 217 television stations will carry a special bearing the title “It’s Time to Pray, America.” with channel 22, South Bend airing the program at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 18. Channel 15. Fort Wayne will carry the program at 9 p.m. Sunday. The special features President Ford, Jimmy Carter, Billy i Cycle stolen from business in Syracuse The Sizemore Cycle Shop in Wawasee Village reported the theft of a 1976 Suzuki motorcycle at 1:40 p.m, Saturday.
