THE WAR AND PRAYER.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —As a former resident re-visiting Nelson, I am always pleased to notice the progress in a place still dear to me. One could write much on that topic. But one omission causes me both surprise and disappointment; and I feel sure you have only to take up the matter to have it rectified. In other towns, and remote townships, the church bells are rung for a couple of minutes at noon to remind peo.ple to offer up silent petitions for peace to be restored, amongst the nations. Surely the capital of the province, and Cathedral city of the diocese, should not be behind the backblocks in so important a matter. "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of," and it is good for all denominations to be united in this way, and for busy people to be reminded that they can vitally help the Empire in this time of need by their intercessions. I am, etc., A VISITOR.
(The matter is one fox* the various Church people. Special Intercessory Services are held twice a "week at the Cathedral, on Wednesday and Friday afternoons.)
