The joint offertory of the World Day of Prayer is allocated to thirtyâ€"one agencies engaged in furâ€" thering missionary research and in publishing interdenominational Christian literature for distribution throughout the world and in Canâ€" ada. Joining therefore in this great act of worship within the Church Universal, the women of Grimsby met on Feb. 16th â€" the first Friâ€" day in Lentâ€"in St. John‘s Presbyâ€" terian Church, the theme being: ‘"‘That ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marâ€" vellous light."â€"(1 Peter 2:09). The program under the five heads Call to Prayer, Worship, Thanksgiving, Confession and Inâ€" tercession, was ably and reverently presented ‘by Mrs. W. H. Morris, leader of the service, Mrs. E. A. Brooks, Mrs. W. L. Bengough, Mrs. W. E. Burke and Mrs. Edwin Burâ€" gess. Bible reading and short prayers were taken by Mrs. Wm. Layton, Mrs. Brock Snyder, Mrs. W. Pinder and Mrs. P. E. Wilkins.

In occupied Europe peoâ€" ple have gone into the churches quietly with prayer in their hearts and crept silently away, holding‘ their own secret strength against the harshness and sorrow that surâ€" rounds their lives. To many thousâ€" ands of hearts burdened with pain must have come the thought, "Perâ€" haps by next year‘s‘ Day of Prayâ€" er we shall be free!" By 1927 the observance, spreadâ€" ing to Great Britain, to Europe, to Asia, to Africa and to Australia and New Zealand, had become worldâ€"wide. Then the great discovery was made that "churchwomen in every land felt identical devotion to the Kingdom of God and identical courage in meeting the divine call forever sounding in their ears." ‘The World Day of Prayer moveâ€" ment began very simply. In 1920 the Boards of Women‘s Missionary Societies in Canada held an interâ€" denominational Women‘s Day of Prayer. Two years tater they joinâ€" ed with a similar movement in the United States to hold the first Inâ€" ternational Day of Prayer.
