(U.R)A boy, 15, who confessed to four burg laries here in less than three weeks, denied overlooking $200 in a filling station. He took only $14. He saw the larger amount. but was afraid to steal so much i money, he told police. I Projects of he "World Day of Prayer In Monday's Journal we read how the World Day of Prayer began and the organizations in various localities were drawn to gether in one common univer sal observances on the first Fri day in Lent. At this writing it is Ash Wed nesday the beginning of Lent and iast year there were 15.- 000 meetings held in our United States with a million and a half copies of the Call to Prayer and it's program sent from the National Office. Plans for a day of prayer and an offering to spread the work of love throughout the world and answer the urgent need for Christian compassion, sprang: almost simultaneously as the travelers noted the total lack of suitable Christian reading mat ter in the Orient for those who had learned to read. Last year's offering amounted to o'.-er $195, 000 yet a meager amount com pared to what we spend alone on luxuries. So now a Christian Literature committee has books and magazines printed for women and children in ail fields of missions, such as the Braille system for the 14 million blind, especially children so afflicted from neglect from birth. They are being saved from lives of idleness, beggary and prostitu tion. At the top of the educational field was the need for Christian colleges for young women, and now eight Union Christian col leges (3 in China; 4 in India, 1 in Japan are interdenomina tional and are bringing forth many leaders to help their own. Inside America there are inter denominational services of trav eling schools, recreation centers and Christian teaching for mi grants and share-croppers, who are a vital part of our food in dustries. Also religious work di rectors for Indian youth in In dian schools, are redeeming partly the personal neglect and property exploitation which wa3 suffered by the inhabitants of America before the Anglo Saxon arrived. In the face of so great a task all previous monetary offerings seem very small, but smaller still may be the comparison and concern of individuals of any race or nationality for fellow men in unfortunate circum stances. May many observe this 3 2S i v ' - i V t- r; V r- A I "World Day of Prayer" as a tlms ; of meditation on God's plan for them as His followers and a re-dedication of themselves to put Him first in all their in- j te rests and activities. : Remember the theme and , places of the several services ; and enter into one of them with sincere consecration. A nursery where mothers may : leave small children in care cf ! competent helpers will be pro ! vided for the afternoon service at the Methodist church. There is a nursery room equipped by the Union Adult Fellowship class of the church school.
