The ''Archbishop of Canterbury, presiding at the Canterbury Diocesan .Conference at Lambeth Palace, spoke on 'tho spiritual forces which,_ ho said,'it was. theirs to foster, arid without which tlieir most ungrudging efforts would-in some measure be in vain.,. Ho dealt.at length upon the importance and value of prayer, and advocated several means whereby they could deepen the habit of prayerfulness. In regard to ejaculatory prayer, tho; Archbishop' said the very shortest form of words was all . they wanted.: They were told of the baneful, potency of tho solidifying force in Germany which was exercised ■by the constant use of what was really a form ofcurso against England. _ They would like to retort : by " yie ,genuinely Christian use of some such. ( pra.yer as v "God bless our King and country and defend the right." In its,measure they might hope that' the use as widely as possible of such words might prove at least as ! wholesomely. effective for good as the German malediction must prove baneful [ to those who; were taught. to ejaculate

it. Writing on board: the Essex Mr. Richard'Stewart, the well-known Williamson manager, then en route for South' -Africa, writes: "I . was very anxious to go to New Zealand once more, just to" say good-bye to all my friends. I wisli you would convey my best regards to all- my Wellington friends and inquiries, telling them of my movements.
