DAY OF PRAYER -- B.-U.-S.-T. Arose 7 A.M. Devotions. Down to breakfast. Fair and breezy. Class 8:30 to 9:30 A.M. 3 sessions in the Chapel 10 A.M.-2:30 P.M. & 7:15 P.M. at all of which Dr. Goodell spoke. Very helpful and inspiring. Group prayer meeting on 3rd floor at 4:30 P.M. Dr. Work with us. Worked at noon 12 M-2 P.M. Over to see "M.L." To bed 12:15 P.M. Rain at nite accompanied by a strong gale made it impossible for us to open our windows. Suffocation preferable to drowning. Thankful for prayer and communion with GOD.

The National Day of Prayer is a proclamation traditionally made by the President of the United States (going back to Washington), but not every president declared one. It's not clear whether the president in 1924 proclaimed the day, but we can assume he did. There is a
Wikipedia article that explains the tradition:
National Day of Prayer.
