ARCHBISHOP'S MESSAGE.

REIJiHON IN ENGLAND. INTEREST IM PRAYER BOOK. OPPORTUNITY FOR CHURCH. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received January I, 5.5 p.m.) X. and N.Z. LONDON, Jan. 1. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. R. T. Davidson, in a Now Year message, recalls that each of the last 20 years begf.n with a distinctive note of something in the air. This time it finds more people than ever before in the history of England thinking and talking of the Book of Common Prayer. The archbishop says: "The Great War ; brought, out the breadth and depth in England of our common heritage of the Christian faith. The Prayer Book discussion* in their own degree have again brought out that thought, with the welcome knowledge that outside the ranks of devout-church-goers there are multitudes who instinctively, and half unconsciously. feel that 'he matter concerns them too." Passing from che t'rayei Hook to a wider field, the archbishop pleads with those who have shown interest in the controversy to "let their caring take a braver and a more definite shape. Is ever was there an' opportunity for a more widely united Christian effort. What of you, my friend ? You criticise, perhaps fairly, our inadequate and halting work. Take your rightful place and help to mend and speed the enterprise."
