The Archbishop of Canterbury has forwarded to the . archdeacons of Canterbury and Maidstone the following prayer for the safety of pur soldiers and sailors m Egypt, and South Africa, with an expression of 1 his wish that it may be used m churches m his diocese: — "O Almighty Lord God, King of all kings, and Governor of all things, that sittest on the throne judging right:we commend to Thy Fatherly goodness the men who through .perils of war are serving this nation,- beseeching Thee to take into Thine own. hand both them and the cause wherein their country sends them. Be Thou their tower of strength, that, armed with Thy defence, they may be protected through all dangers,, to glorify Thee, who art the only giver of all victory. Grant also that wo may evermore use Thy mercy to. Thy glory, to the sidvancement of Thy kingdom, and the honor of our Sovereign ; seeking always the deliverance of the oppressed, and, us much as lieth m us, the good of all mankind ; through our only Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen."
