    WEEK NOV. 10-16
SET FOR PRAYER
Y. M. C. A. Asks For Support
of Soldiers and United
War Work
In an announcement by Arthur
n. Bacon, president of the Central
Y. M. C. A., last night, It was an
nounced that the week of Novem
ber 10-16 will be a week of prayer,
when everybody will be asked to join
in daily prayer for the men in the
army, in prison camps, and for the
success of the United War Work
, campaign. The announcement is
as follows:
"The Week of Prayer for Young
Men for the year 1918 falls within a
* spacious, momentous and fateful
time. Truly we are living in great
days; great in upheaval and over
turning, for literally old tilings are
passing away and all tilings are be
coming new; great in adventure and
constructive achievement; great in
sacrifice and suffering, for see the
millions of war-filled graves and
other millions of mutilated and
maimed, and the countless sorrow
stricken and anxious homes; great in
the discovery and releasing of men's
latent capacities for heroism and tin
, selfish devotion; great ill the chal
lenges summoning men to enter with
wide titans and God-touching spirits
into new and better days.
"Such days call for men, and call
for men at their best. They must be
men of comprehension, that they
may have understanding of their
times. They must be men of the fin
est loyalties—loyalty to undying
principles and loyalty to our Divine
Lord and Hid undying causo—that
they may not miss tho way, and that
tlicy may indeed be true leaders.
They must be men of contagious
characters and with a passion for
helpfulness. To furnish such indis
pensable men, and likewise to se
cure foundation for such manhood —
Christlike boyhood, is the high mis
sion of the Young Men"s Christian
Association.
"Times like these not only demand
all that is best in man but also call
us to prayer that the power of the
living God may be manifested. The
association movement, like every
thing else in these days, is being
tried by fire. Our dangers are so
many and so grave, our tasks so
greatly exceed our powers, and our
opportunities so far transcend our
visible reflources, that nothing short
of a fresh and wonderful accession
i of superhuman wisdom and might
will suffice. Therefore, let us during
the days of November 10th to 16th
give ourselves to prayer and likewise
call on our entire brotherhood and
Its multitude of friends to pray.
"Among the objects of prayer
which you are asked to concentrate
your intercession are the following;
"1. For the men of our Army and
Navy and the Allied forces, that they
may win the war, and that they may
so without losing their own soui.
"2. For all who suffer in hospitals
or who languish in prisoner-of-war
camps that they may be given pa
tience to endure and that they may
lie restored to their homes.
"3. For tlio work of the associa
tion on behalf of the soldiers and
sailors that It may become increas
ingly efficient and fruitful in spiritual
results.
"4. That the home work and the
foreign work of the American and
Canadian associations may not only
meet tho present war demands but
also be prepared for the far greater
responsibilities of the periods of de
mobilization and reconstruction.
'5. 'I lial leaders may be raised up
capable of meeting the unparalleled
opportunities which are to crown the
coming days.
"6. For the United War Work
Canipaign, that It may call forth the
united, generous and sacrificial sup
port of the entire American people.
"Without sacrificing convictions
and without compromising our dis
tinctive character, let every member
of the I . M. C, A. for the sake of tlie
hoys in uniform at home and abroad
on land or on sea or In the air, and
for the sake of our Lord and Master
use the countless new contacts and
the wider fellowship into which the
i lesident has called us, as an unpre
cedent opportunity to witness, to co
operate and to serve."
