1914 Sep 17 – Fork River

The official national prayer service for this mission was held in All Saints church on Wednesday evening. Mr. Wilson gave an address on the present national crisis and prayers were offered up for the restoration of peace. Very few turned out. It was not a dance or a picture show. Further comment is unnecessary from a patriotic point of view.
