World Prayer
Day be held
at Aveleigh
Women In Newberry will
join millions of others in 12Tf
countries for World Day of
Prayer on Friday, February
10th.
Written by a South Sea Is
land queen, a Christian woman
who knew she had only a few
months to live, the prayer ser
vice is expected to fill a need
for every Christian women, for
it embraces praise and thanks
giving, supplication for for
giveness, and entreaty for
God’s help for all who suffer
and for all who are working
toward a better world.
The local service will be at
4:30 p.m. at Aveleigh Presby
terian church. Participating in
the observance besides Ave
leigh will be Central Method
ist, Redeemer Lutheran, First
Baptist, St. Luke’s Episcopal
and Associate Reformed Pres
byterian churches.
No barrier of race, denom
ination, or culture are recog
nized when women come to
gether for this prayer day,
which has a history of nearly
80 years.
Nor do the women stop at
supplication. They bring mon
etary gifts to help support
Christian interdenominational
colleges and literature and lit
eracy programs in many coun
tries abroad and to support
national projects such as ed
ucational, recreational, and
child-care help for migrant
workers and services to In
dian youth.
More than a program,
World Day of Prayer is plann
ed primarily for the purpose
of leading the participants into
an active experience of prayer.
It is always observed on the
first Friday of Lent and each
year extends beyond still more
national and religious lines in
concern for the needs of all
people for the message of the
Christian gospel.
Queen Salote Tupou of the
Tonga Islands had ruled her
Island kingdom 47 years when
she wrote this year’s service
in 1965 just before her death.
Her strong Christian faith and
sense of the eternal is reflect
ed in the service. Since 1949,
World Day of Prayer has been
observed on Tonga, the only
country in the Pacific to re
main an independent kingdom
after the 19th century.
As she prepared to leave her
country for New Zealand
where she died, Queen Salote
asked for the Sacrament of
the Holy Communion, and af
ter receiving it, told the pres
ident of the Free Wesleyan
church there, that her prepar
ation had been made, not by
her own strength, but through
the purifying blood of Christ
She said she had no fear of
leaving family and country, no
fear or doubt “in this journey
through the dread valley” be
cause she knew “my Lord is
there . . . and I testify with
certainty that my life is
firmly fixed in Him.”
In prologue to the written
worship she pleads, “May the
prayers and witness of the
women of the world help to
usher in God’s new day for all
people.”
The thanksgiving includes
all who have overcome diffi
culties and persecution, build
ers of peace and good will,
doctors, nurses, teachers, and
leaders “in the cause of truth
and right.”
Supplications are not only
for relief for those who fear
or hunger or fail in health but
also for the tyrannical and op
pressive that they may be giv
en a “searching of spirit and
amendment of ways” that God
may show mercy on them also.
Strength of faith and humble
ness are also stressed in sup
plications.
In many communities World
Day of Prayer has marked the
turning point toward an ecu
menical concern. United
