B.C. DAY OF PRAYER.

"In co-operation with the NewZealand Anglican Girls' Bible Class Union, my union has fixed Sunday, September 16th, as the annual day of prayer for Bible Classes throughout the province, and we earnestly request the support of all clergy and leaders for the observance of this day," writes Miss Norris A. Collins, provincial secretary. "This year September 16th is the last day of the Dominion- wide youth week, which, m t common with the other churches ' constituting the National Council of Churches, is being observed by the Anglican Church, and it is very fitting that we should end our week with a day of prayer. "We invite all Bible Classes', irrespective of membership with the unions or not, to join with us m this observance. May we suggest to vicars and leaders that, as m past years, the day -be observed with special prayers at the usual church services and that m place of the Bible Classes a special service of prayer be held for Bible Class meraor, if not convenient, that it be held at some other time of the day? "In order to assist vicars and leaders the unions have had for some years a form of service with prayers, intercessions and Bible readings suitable for the day, and copies of these are available from diocesan secretaries, the unions, or myself at 471 Selwyn Street, Christchurch, C.1.". •
