Fram Jenisaiem-The Silent Minute
The Silent Minute, it will be recalled, arose out of a conversation in the .mountains round Jerusalem/ The ': idea was in the mind of a British officer who was killed in action in December, 1917. Before he died he. talked over the idea: with a brother officer who shortly before the National Day of Prayer in May, 1940, began to spread the habit of keeping the moments during the chiming of Big Ben at 9. p.m. as a time of dedication. Gradually the custom has come to be widely observed. -r-Church of England Newspaper.
