Call For Prayers
(N.Z. Press Association > NAPIER. Oct. 21. A call for prayers for the success of the Manila talks was made today by the Primate of New Zealand, the Most Rev. N. A. Lesser.
Archbishop Lesser said there was common recognition of the potential of the Manila talks.
The deep desire in the hearts of most men for peace was vividly expresssed by one of the leading chaplains ir the First World War, Geoffrey Studdert-Kennedy.
Peace not mean the end of all our striving.
Joy does not mean the drying of our tears.
Peace is the power that comes to souls arriving up to the
light where God Himself appears. Archbishop Lesser said that he would presume earnestly to request the prayers of people of all churches, and of none, that God would direct the hearts and minds of all who assembled at the Manila talks. "I sincerely hope that in all churches, prayers will he offered to God that the will of Him who is the Prince of Peace may prevail.
“It is hoped that the prayers of all who are willing to offer them will not be unmindful also of the people to whom propositions may be made as a result of the Manila talks.”
