S. paper for the boys and girls will be passed ou' for the first time. l«et us make "C< To Church Sunday" a banner day alsc in our school. Let us make it a big- ger day than Rally Day. Next week is also the Week or Prayer. Two of our homes will he open for meetings in their respective districts: at the home of Mr. A. D Gash on Tuesday evening and at the home of Mr. Louis Mueller on Wed- nesday evening. |S A Nation Bowed in Prayer Prayer was central in the life of Jesus. His disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray--not to preach. The spirit of a Peter or a James is the need today in our churches, homes and business. More deep-seated communica- tion with the unseen Partner would solve knotty problems of state and individual life. The truth of that statement will be specially emphasized when Wilmette churches join with Christian forces from Maine to California in observance of The National Week of Prayer Commencing Sunday, January 6 Services next Sunday morning will focus on the Week of Home Prayer Meet- ings--Monday to Thursday evenings in- clusive. Plan now on attending. A home near you (the complete list is published in another column) will be the rallying place for Christians intent on making 1924 a year of richer, sweeter experience in promoting the work of the Kingdom. "Prayer is the greatest undeveloped pmver in the world." says Roger Babson. DIRECTORY OF CHURCHES: First Congregational Church The First Presbyterian Church Lake and Wilmette Aves. Rev. Stephen A.
