ARMISTICE DAY.
APPEAL BY THE CHURCHES. NEED FOR FRESH RESOLVES. LONDON, Nov. 3. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the Moderator of the Federal Council of the Free Churches have issued a joint appeal regarding the observance of Armistice Day. They say: “The Locarno agreement means the opening up of a new and brighter chapter in tlie tangled story of European relationships, and it should stir us to united effort to grapple with problems at home. Our supreme need is a clearer atmosphere in which men will hate to be at variance and try to understand how acute is the existing distress and what suffering there is in the homes, where unemployment is working havoc of heart and mind. Callousness to the anxieties of others is a menace to our peace. Nevertheless, there is also a spirit of mistrust, tempting some to seek less than the common good. “A vivid recollection of Armistice Day and of the blood shed for the preservation of England will inflame fresh resolves. Armistice Day should be a preface to an effort lasting for the rest of the month, wherein we should try to translate our hopes into definite thought, prayer and action and thus consecrate the new beginning to our national life.”—A. and N.Z. cable.
