Secondly, we must admit that there is a need

Vou must accept the first premise or you will
not be interested in what I have to say. I am
sure that I can prove the second.
We need world prayer today because the very
foundations of our culture are in grave danger.
We need it because it is the basic salvation for
all that we believe in. More than 50 countries

effort at 7:45 p.m. in Union parlors X, Y and Z.
Both foreign and American tudents will combine
in presenting the service.
But it isn't the particular method in which the
service will be held which is significant. Nor is
it the exact persons who will act as the leaders.
What is important and it is so important that it
deserves the deep thought of every University
student is that the world is joining in asking
God for help.
thing impossible to God?
Doesn't it seem logical that the combined ef
forts of the students of 50 nations might go a
very long way toward bringing the peace we
dream about? If dreams can expect to be trans
ferred into reality, it will take action. These are
no times for passive faith. We must put the prin
ciples we learned in Sunday School into practice.
This world needs divine help so desperately.
