WORLD DAY OF PRAYER TO BE OBSERVED HERE (Continued from Page 1) attend the time of prayer and rededication. Now 80 years old, World Day of Prayer is observed in 125 countries and on six continents around the globe. It is observed each year on the first Friday in Lent and is truly world-wide in character. The same order of service, translated into many different languages. is used in all parts of the globe. This provides .a unique opportunity for a deep experience of Christian unity in prayer with Christians all over the world. Mrs. Chappell. the local chairman, pointed out that each year's order of service fs designed by an individual or committee in a different country. The 1966 service, based on the international theme: "You Are My Witnesses" (Isaiah 43:10), was prepared by women of the World Day of Prayer committee of Scotland. This year's service stresses the idea that ordinary church members can change the world by their daily actions. It also reflects the ancient traditions of the Scottish church. For 80 years this unique day of prayer for peace and brotherhood has united women acrosg personal, national and racial barriers in a solemn act of re-dedication to their common mission throughout the world. 116 9 SALE G.
