Peace and Prayer. Spartanburg Journal. The president has called the people oif our country to assemble in their places of worship the first Sunday of October and send up united prayers for peace in Europe and in all the world. Without faith there will be no answer to prayer. He who prays for ttat wniCQ ne considers impossiDie, prays in vain. It is estimated that there are 6,000.000 soldiers in the field ready for action and 4,000,000 reserves and territorial soldier? who can be brought to the front in the next three months. If one does not believe that peace is possible under present conditions, | and that it is the most desirable thing, a prayer for peace will be a formal repetition of words.
