A. “The thread of Christian fellowship which is being woven into the fabric of the nations is the thread on which depends the harmony and strength of the finished world pattern.” When you and I join the Y.W.C.A. branch in our college or community, we are immedi^ely united with nearly a million Christian women and girls in forty countries. They and we belong to the World’s Young Womens Christian Association. We are united by a bond more powerful than the mere accident of birthplace; we are united by the bond of kinship in Christ. We have a World’s Committee composed of representatives from twenty-two countries, in proportion to membership. This Committee not only unites all the Associations, but serves as a clearing house for all appeals and questions that affect the Y.W.C.A. in more than one country. If a new country wishes to organize a Y.W.C.A., the Worm s Committee decides which of the already organized National Associations should be called on to help. The World’s Committee keeps in touch with all the countries through its periodical. The Women’s International Quarterly; and through meetings every two vears of the World’s Com- mittee, and every month of a smaller group called the World’s Executive Committee. Also, every four years a World’s Con- ference is called. This past June, there met in Switzerland an -International Commission and the World’s Committee with a hundred and twenty- five delegates from twenty- two countries. Besides these external bonds of fellowship we are even more closely drawn together by our annual World’s Week of Prayer. During the third week of November, as the sun rises from the Pacific and journ- eys seven times around the earth, prayer shall rise like clouds of incense from countless hearts where Christ is enshrined. We and they shall meet with the Prince of the Kingdom of God, — to study His plans, to receive our task, and to be invested with power to serve worthily in whatsoever post we occupy.
