Official.—His Majesty the King has issued the following message to the nation : "To my People.—Tie worldwide struggle for the triumph of liberty , is entering on its last and most difficult 1 phase. The enemy ig striving by desj perate assault and subtle intrigue to perpetuate the wrongs already committed. To stem the tide and free civilisa- ! tion we yet have to complete the great i task to which we have dedicated ourI selves. I would call upon you to devote a special day of prayer that we may have the clear-sightedness and strength necessary for the. victory of our cause. This victory will Be gained only if we steadfastly remember the responsibility resting upon us, and in the spirit of reverent obedience ask the blessing of Almighty God upon our endeavours. Let us seek to be enlightened in our understanding and fortified in courage in facing the sacrifices, we may yet have to make. I therefore appoint 6th January, the first Sunday in the New Year, to be set aside as a. special Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving in all the churches throughout my Dominions."
