PERIOD OF SILENT PRAYER
plr,-ine recoraing used for tne Period of Silent Prayer could be changed for something more appropriate, an organist playing a verse of the hymn-tune "Belmont" or "Rockingham," for example, and the chimes dismissed altogether, But why do ‘away with something that is of value for others besides the "dear old souls" Mr. Fairburn mentions? He is right when he says that Christian prayer does not need to have a set starting time so that everyone can get off the mark together (for anybody can pray to God at any time). Still, it is rather comforting to know that other people in this country, who know the real value of prayer, are linked for a short while in intercession and thanksgiving to God. But in explaining these things to Mr. Fairburn perhaps we are just "Not Understood."
