EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1954 A Prayer for the World Assembly (From The Christian Century) Help us to bring forth fruits appropri ate for repentance, that in this assembly Almighty God, giver of every good and perfect gift, we thank thee for the supreme gift of thy Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our hearts are grateful for the church, of which Jesus Christ is head, which has brought us the good news of salvation from all our sins. We pray for the Church of Christ, and especially for the Second Assembly of the World Council of Churches. Glory be to thee, 0 God, that in this time of troubles thy powerful arm has thrust back the hand of evil and brought together in one place men and women from the churches of many lands to witness to our hope and the world's hope in Jesus Christ. We pray for a special endowment of thy grace and power on the Second As sembly. We do not deserve thy favor, for we have imposed on the unity which the church has in Christ shameful divisions dictated by our arrogance and pride. Forgive us, we implore, for separating brother from brother at the table of the Lord; for clinging to outworn traditions and little creeds when he prayed that we all may be one. Christ may be honored and God's saving grace known to all the lost world. Deepen our humility so that we may hear thy voice, even when it speaks in the accents of Christians whom we are accus tomed to regard with condescension and suspicion. We are ignorant. Help us to welcome thy truth, from whatsoever source it comes, in the name of Him who is the truth. We have strayed. Help us to walk in thy way, even though the path is strange, in the name of Him who is the way. We stand in peril. Help us to accept life, and to turn from our obsession with universal death, in the name of Him who is life. Teach us to listen with sincerity as well as to speak with boldness; to act with understanding, to forebear in love. Give us a new baptism of the Holy Spirit, that this assembly may be an unmistakable sign to all men that Jesus Christ, our living Lord, is indeed the hope of mankind. Amen. Springfield !

HOWARD EDITOR'S NOTE : Mrs. Charles G. (Susan T.) Howard, wife of Eugene's Methodist delegate to the Second Assem bly of the World Council of Churches, is writing her own informal versions of the great convocation, for the Register Guard. Here is her first let ter. It is not my purpose nor have the authority to make state ments concerning the policies or pronouncements of the Council. I am merely writing my own observations as a wearer of a snirial nass to Plenary sessions. Incidentally, we are told that the press coverage for this meet ing is greater than for any other meeting in the history of the United States save one me e publican convention in 1952. It is too early to predict how far-reaching the results of this meeting will be, but in the opin ion of some leaders, it is one of the momentous occasions of his tory. The first assembly met in Amsterdam in 1948. And now when one considers that 1,500 persons including delegates, con sultants, accredited ooservers, youtho bservers, etc., from 161 denominations in 48 countries rep resenting 170,000,000 Christians, are willing to come together The Rev.

When in procession some of the clergy marched with bared neaas; oiners wore thn head covering customary in their churches, wnen tne delegates marched, as they did, at the Sun day morning worship service and at the "Festival of Faith" pro gram at Soldiers' Field Sunday night, it was a very colorful and very inspiring sight. I feel very privileged and vcrv humble to be a spectator during these seventeen days.

Don Heinrichs, Minister of Youth and Music emphasize their difference, one's spirit is lifted. At the Amsterdam meeting a pledge was made, namely "We Intend to Stay Togetner, ana that pledge has become some what of a slogan this year. In fact, when Bishop Bromley Ox nam, who is one of the six presi dents of the council, preached the opening sermon we repeated af ter each point in his discourse, We Intend to Stay Together." The friendliness which exists among the persons in attendance is very obvious. Delegates are housed on the campus of North western University and meals are served at various food serv ice centers on the campus. Since many of the foreign participants have come at a great personal financial sacrifice, every effort has been made to keep the living expenses down. All live and eat side by side and all persons seem to be uniformly courteous. My companion at the Sunday morn- ing church service was the wife of the head of the Methodist Church in Australia. She took a picture of her husband wearing his clerical robes as he marched in the procession, "Because," she said, "I think my children will like lo see their father with this group." Returning once from McGaw Hall, I found myself in the midst of a group of youth consultants from all over the world. The boy who sat beside me was from! India, while the one standing at my side was German. Cubans, Australians, and English were there also, as were Americans.) All were "chattering like mag pies," and thoroughly enjoying themselves. They can be serious, however, and to me it is a very healthy sign for Christendom that they have been invited as con sultants, sitting in conferences with their elders. You would find it interesting reading if I could describe ade quately the clerical garments worn by members of the various confessions. However, photo graphy is a better medium. But I can say this: the garb may be a long robe (purple in many shades, black, maroon, white) usually belted, a frock coat, a short white surplice, a two-piece garment, frequently beautifully embroidered, a simple black robe, and others. Often a large golden or wooden cross is suspended by a chain. A few, Bishop Bcrgrov of Norway among them, wear white ruffs about the neck. Many wear small white tabs at the neck. The tabs symbolize the Ten Com- HEAR!
