DAY OF PRAYER
OBSERVANCE BY CIVILIANS & ARMED FORCES GOVERNMENT SUGGESTIONS. TO CHURCH AND OTHER AUTHORITIES. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Discussing the observance of a National Day of Prayer on September 3, the Acting-Prime Minister, (Mr Sullivan) said that in New Zealand conditions were so different from those in the United Kingdom as to make it impracticable to arrange quite the same observances. It had been decided:— (1) To invite all religious denominations themselves to hold appropriate services in their own churches at suitable times. (2) In each centre of population the Government would be glad if civic and church authorities would combine ano. hola a public service to enable people generally to observe the day. The Government felt that the fixing of a suitable time was a matter that must be left to local discretion. Due regard should be paid, however, . to the desirability of as little interruption as practicable with the working day. Provision was also being made for observance by the Armed Services.
