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

Bali.

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.
