TWO MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Minister Soeaks for Prayer Day "In praying about world af fairs we must be ready to ab andon pre-conceived ideas or the policies we think may protect our selfish interests" said the Rev. Thomas McCammant last Friday afternoon when speaking for Medford Council of Church Women at the Annual World Day of Prayer observance. The program was at First Methodist church and attracted a large au dience of church women. Discussing prayer for peace, the minister said we must first "get at it," that "we must be specific" and thirdly "we must seek God's will." The Rev. Mr. McCammant also said that "in a world where material things are so promin ent, we need constant encour agement to pray." Elaborating on the idea of the kind of prayer that says specific prayer, the minister said "God bless everybody in , t h e world, amen, is not very ef fective" and "we need to pray specifically for the people who are most responsible for forming international policy." He closed his talk by saying "as in all prayer, we must seek God's will. This is the purpose of all prayer, not to get God to do our will, but to make our selves ready to fit in with his plan. This means that in praying about world affairs we must be ready to abandon pre-conceived ideas or the policies that we think may protect our selfish interests. We must be truly ready to follow the divine lead ing and to adopt policies in ac cordance with His will, wheth er they are the popular ones or not." Earlier in his talk the Rev. Mr. McCammant had review an address of Dr. Harry Rudin of Yale university given at the re cent meeting of the Oregon Council of Churches in Eugene. Saying that Dr. Rudin's talk had impressed him more than any other part of the Eugene session, he quoted the Yale professor as saying "Our political system is not an eternal value, and neith er is our economic system." Fur ther quotations from Dr. Rudin were to the effect that it is right for people to seek security, but that too often they seek it by trying to preserve the status quo. The Rev. Mr. McCammant also spoke of a resolution pre pared for the council by Dr. Paul Poling of Salem in the form of a message to the churches on world affairs, and said it merits study by churches. He quoted a sentence from the resolution which says "The present crisis also indicates the necessity of changing the traditional policy of the great powers of making other powers insecure in order to attain their own security" and the Medford minister then commented "It is easy to see the connection between that state ment and the Golden Rule of Jesus and some applications to the situation in the Far East should be obvious. Mrs. J. C. Sparks, president of the Medford Council of Church Women, presided at the prayer day program. Devotions were given by Dr. J. Thomas Dixon, the offertory by the Rev. R. W. Hum and the benediction by the Rev. C. V. Stern. Other observances of the world prayer day were held in the chapel at Camp White with Miss Anna Streed in charge and Chaplain Anderson and M r s. Clarence Pierce assisting. Mrs. H. P. Bosworth Jr., conducted a service at the YMCA for HI-Y groups, assisted by Mrs. J. M. Bali.

CENTRAL Junior Stamp Club Elects Officers; Study Luxembourg The YMCA Junior Stamp club elected officers at a meeting February 26. Named president was Keith Harrison; vice-president is Bill Warner, and secre tary is Henry Harbert. The club decided that any officer who missed three meetings would be declared out of office and an other would be elected. The club studied the country and stamps of Luxembourg. Mrs. Eric de Place, director, brought out some of the history of this tiny independent nation, which came into prominence when in 1308 Count Kenry IV became Holy Roman Emperor Henry VII. During the next two hundred years, Luxembourg was controlled by Austria, Bur gundy and Spain. During all this time it re mained a separate country. Later it became a part of the Germanic confederation, and in 1830, it was divided, the largest part being given to Belgium, being known as the Luxem bourg district of that country. Overrun by Germany during two world wars, Luxembourg today is in economic union with Belgium and the Netherlands, being known as the Benelux nations. Luxembourg is ruled by Grand Duchess Charlotte of the House of Nassau, who has ruled since 1919, when the peo ple asked her sister to vacate the throne because she was too much influenced by the Ger mans. Many beautiful pictorial stamps have been issued by the country, mostly semi-postals. The regular postage issues us ually carry a picture of the ruler, or of the coat of arms. Saturday, March 5, the club will study the country of Nica ragua. Mrs. de Place will also speak on Luxembourg when Southern Oregon Stamp club meets Thurs day, March 3, at Girls' Communr ity club.
