RELIGION IN THE NAVY
ADMIRALTY'S SPECIAL MESSAGE. A special message from the British Board of Admiralty has been promulgated in Fleet Orders in the following terms: — In the conviction that the present war is a struggle between good and evil, and that in the practice of the Christian religion, may be found today the same support experienced by our forefathers in establishing in the Royal Navy those ideals of service and sacrifice we have inherited. Their Lordships, while appreciating that under conditions of war the instructions regarding Sunday work can seldom be realised, wish to emphasise the need for observing the instructions for the holding of Divine service and prayers. They further direct that in battleships and cruisers all possible steps should be taken to provide a space set apart for the worship of God.
