Tomorrow millions of men and
women in 92 countries will kneel
at the altar of God to pray. The
World Day of Prayer is sponsored
locally by the Juneau Council ol
Church Women.
‘The chain of prayer will be made
of millions of people worshipping
in all corners and centers of the
earth and praying in CO different
languages,” said Mrs. E. P. Dick,
local chairman. “Following the sun,
it will be started in the Figi Islands
at dawn and continue westward
from the crowded ports of Singa
pore and Shanghai into isolated vil
lages of China and Pakistan; from
the African jungles to the Arctic.
“World Day of Prayer is inter
denominational, Interracial and in
ternational in scope,” said Mrs.
Dick, adding that offerings are di
vided between missionary work at
home and abroad to bring the peo
ples of our country and world into
greater communion-with each other
through supplying their spiritual,
educational and recreational needs.
Last year a quarter million dollars
was collected and used in this work.
“All churches, fraternal, youth
and civil groups are invited to join
to make this day a community
wide as well as world-wide symbol
of fellowship,” said Mrs. Dick.
The special programs tomorrow
include a noon-hour organ concert
at the Methodist church from 12
to 1 o’clock, an afternoon program
and worship service at the Lutheran
church at 2:45 and an evening serv
ice at the same church at 8 o'clock.
