The Archbishop of Canterbury is presiding at a critical session of the Church Assembly reconsidering the Prayer Book. He was widely congratulated to-day on the completion of a quarter of a century’s Primateship, which is a four hundred years record. He reaches his 8(Hli birthday on the 7th April, and his golden wedding on the 12th of November. The Archbishop said the House of Bishops introduced the amended measure believing it the embodiment ot all considerations. He submitted it to three Houses of the Assembly, as an endeavour to meet the desires of all groups. The House of Bishops would cheerfully consider any aiiK-mlmo- “ from the Houses of Clergy and Laity.

'I hose rapidly deteriorate after they arc removed from cold storage. Deterioration is only preventiblc by the use of preservatives, so we shall evidently have to rely more and more on Continental countries, who will reap a glorious harvest, at the colonics’ expense.
