[62].; "This edition of the Mothers' Union Service Book has been revised throughout in order that the ideals and thoughts in our 1974 Aim and Objects should take place in our worship. Our last Service Book was published twenty-seven years ago and since then there have been great changes in our regular church worship. For this reason we have, as far as possible, used words and forms of prayer in keeping with the church's new liturgy. .... Two new litanies have been written for this book, one on our Objects and the other especially for young mothers. Members of the Mothers' Union will find much in this book which can be made use of personally in addition to its prime purpose for meetings and church occasions". -- Intro.; Contents: Introduction -- Midday Prayers -- The Mothers' Union Prayer 1974 -- Mary Sumner's Prayer 1876 -- The Lord's Prayer -- Service for use in Church -- Admission Service for New Members -- Service for Commissioning Official Workers -- Prayers for Branch, Group or House Meetings -- Prayers for use before Central and Diocesan Council Meetings -- Prayers for use before Committee Meetings -- Prayers -- A Litany on the Five Objects -- A Litany for Young Mothers -- Arrow Prayers -- Acknowledgements.
