PRAYER & WORK
RESPONSE TO ROYAL CALL IN BRITAIN
THEIR MAJESTIES ATTEND ABBEY SERVICE.
COUNTLESS FACTORIES IN FULL BLAST.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.35 a.m.) LONDON, May 26.
Their Majesties, together with Queen Wilhelmina, Mr Winston Churchill (Prime Minister), and other members of the Cabinet, attended service at Westminster Abbey.
The nation’s response to the King’s stirring call to prayer was complete and wholehearted. The cathedrals and churches of big cities, the mission halls and chapels of distressed areas and villages were crowded throughout the day. Many Sunday street markets, including the historic Petticoat Lane, remained closed, but for thousands throughout the United Kingdom it was not a May of rest. Promises of a total war effort were translated into action. The furnaces of countless factories remained in full blast, the clatter and roar of machine shops were unabated and the stream of loaded transports continued in fulfilment of the new se-ven-day week programme.
