PRAYERS FOR PEACE
ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY ISSUES CALL OBSERVANCE ON SUNDAY ALL DENOMINATIONS ASKED TO CO-OPERATE (Recd This Day, 11.52 a.m.) RUGBY, September 15. The Archbishop/ of Canterbury has issued a call to national prayer in the following terms: “The next few clays will be fraught with grave issues on which the peace of Europe may depend. At such a time the first clear duty of all Christian people is to lay these issues before God in humble prayer that they may be controlled in accordance with His will and that the nations may be delivered from the calamity of war. I ask, therefore, that next Sunday be observed as a day of national prayer. Events have moved so swiftly that it has not been possible to consult with the leaders of other religious communions than my own, but I feel sure they will readily cooperate and I have reason to hope that they may, in such ways as they think fit, invite those whom they represent, to take part in an act of united intercession.”
