PRAYER SERVICE IS
LARGELY ATTENDED

Congregation
A congregation of proportions which
leaders said was even a surprise to
them attended the first of the lay
men’s prayer services held in the First

to be continued indefinitely as a
means of drawing people of all Chris
tian denominations, as well as the
public generally, to gether for prayer
services for divine guidance and as
sistance in the present national and
worldwide economic crisis. The idea is
somewhat of the nature of- that car
ried on during the World War, when
the people gathered together at re
gular intervals to pray for the cul
mination of the war.
A statement of the purpoee of the
prayer meetings was made, in which
It was explained that they will be
held in the different churches of the
community, rotating in alphabetical
order, with a layman in the church
where the service is held being in
charge each meeting. Clarence IS.
Green, superintendent of the First
Baptist Sunday school, led the ser
vices Monday afternoon. Next Mon
day the services will be held In the
First Christian church at 5:10 o’clock.

talks at the services, unless of an
impromptu nature, end that the 90
or 38 minutes meeting is to be given
over entirely to prayers, the singing
of hymns and Scripture reading.

A number of resolutions calling on
the farmers to cut their cash crops
this year, end to make an effort to
improve thb. soll of their farming land
were adopted at the meeting. The re
solutions follqpw:
1. That much of our cash crop land
be allowed' to “lay out” this year or
be grown in some legume for sofl Im
provement as our cash crops show a
surplus and do hot pay a profit.

that only a part of a field be seeded

3. That we favor "tfiSVifse of cow
peas and soybeans for ha-yand soil
improvement. We especially suggest,
due to the cheapness of the seed, that
these legumes be planted with corn,
either in hills or drills for soil Im
provement.
4: We further recommend for all of
the above crops that farmers use
their own seed for another year.
5. This organization solicits sup
port, cooperation and membership in
this drive to make soils more pro
ductive, thus making it possible to
keep more and better livestock. When
this is possible we wilt find our coun
tryside taking on a new appearance,

In all a better educated and happier
