October 1 To Be Day of National Prayer
(Received 2.30 p.m.) RUGBY, September 15. The following announcement has been issued by the Archbishop of Canterbury:— 1 “With the approval of the King, and by order of His Majesty’s Privy Council, Sunday, October 1, has been appointed a day of national prayer.' “By this order I am directed to prepare the form of intercession to be used in all churches and chapels in the provinces of Canterbury and York on that day, as well as on such, other occasions as each Bishop may appoint for his own diocese. “As the day of national prayer is a Sunday, the form has naturally been adapted to the regular services of the Church —Holy Communion and morning and evening prayers containing special psalms, lessons, and prayers.” The Archbishop concludes his announcement: --Ad “I venture also to hope, if this announcement reaches any of the Dominions or colonies in time, that the authorities in the various churches there may enable their people to join with their brethren in the United Kingdom in this act of united grayer to God.”
