HERE WILL NAME COMMITTEE
TH TAKE UP MATTER WITH
CITY AUTHORITIES AND HAVE
CUSTOM MADE UNIVERSAL IN
AMERICUS.
The suggestion advanced by The
Times-Recorder recently at the so
licitation of an Americus mother that
all here observe the ‘minute-prayer’’
custom during the continuance of the
war has met a responsive chord and
it now seems probable the idea will
be adopted officially in this city.
The matter has had the attention
of the ministers of the city already,
and yesterday Dr. Leroy Henderson,
pastor of the Presbyterian church
and president of the Ministers’ union
handed The Times-Recorder the fol
lowing communication, which is csm«-
n ended t 0 the thoughtful considera
tion of all:
“Editor Times-Recorder:
“The of an Americus
mother that our entire community
pause a mi’.iue every day at noon for
pdoyer for an Allied victory and safe
return of cur boys from the war is
excellent; and. as president of the
Ministers union, I heartily commend
the same to all Americus and vicin
ity, with the addition that we also
pray for our enemies, that God would
change their hearts, and for our
selves. that God would give us the
victory over our own hearts.
“I have repeatedly urged upon my
congregation the vital importance of
prayer as the greatest means in win
ning the war, and for the past year
I have never prayed in public or pri
vate without mention of the great
righteous cause on the hearts of all
of us. I shall confer with the mini
sters of the city today and apopint a
committee to see the mayor and ask
him to issue a call accordingly.
