...people . . . shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." "Recreation & Renewal." Not all the prayers were offered for such solemn causes. In Atlanta's Morningside Presbyterian Church, Dr. Arthur Vann Gibson offered prayers of guidance for candidates in the Democratic primary. The sunburned congregation at Washington's Calvary Baptist Church bowed their heads to join in a post-summer oration: "We are thankful for the return of those who have been away enjoying days...
...Bear Witness." For most of the prisoners, the prayer crusade fulfilled a desire, as one of them put it, "to bear witness to a belief in morality and justice." Emily McLees of the United Presbyterian Church's Board of National Missions pointed out that on a recent trip abroad, people kept asking her if Dr.King was still in jail (he isn't). "This made me realize," she said, "how concerned other colored peoples are about our racial problems." Added Lutheran Pastor L. W. Halverson of Chicago: "We didn't come here to be holier than thou...
Guest List. The list of observers for the Vatican Council is rapidly getting filled up.

Meeting in Paris, the Central Committee of the World Council...

More support came last week from the big (circ. 1,136,000) Presbyterian Life in an editorial entitled "Keeping Our Shirt On." The regents' prayer, noted the magazine, "was really a rather limited, circumscribed prayer directed to a limited, circumscribed God." In its next session the court is expected to decide whether other religious expressions in school-such as Bible readings...
Sermons & Nostalgia. Although Montosa has its own tabernacle, the Presbyterians' Sunday School Missions Board puts up a tent for campfire meetings that have no permanent worship center, helps recruit ministers from four churches-Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist and Disciples of Christ-to conduct services. Each meeting is backed by a local layman's association, which provides a campsite and the hearty food, cooked chuckwagon style. The Presbyterians now operate two circuits in ten states, expect to draw at least 21,000 people this summer...
