Arrangements To Observe National Day of Prayer
Press Assn.
Wellington, Last Night.
Discussmg the observance of the national day of prayer on September 3 the acting Prime Minister, , the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, said to-day that in New Zealand conditions were so different from those of the United Kingdom as to make it impracticable to arrange the same observances. It had been decided to invite all religious denominations themselves to hold appropriate services in their own churches at suitable times, he continued, and in each centre of population - the Government would be glad if civic and church authorities would combine to hold a public service to enable the people generally to observe the day. The Government felt that the fixing of a suitable time was a matter that must be left to iocal discretion. However, due regard should be paid to the desirability of as little interruption as practicable with the working day. Provision is also being made for the observance by the armed services.
