Prayers specially prepared for use by the Archbishop of New Zealand in the present crisis and for the Peace Conference in Geneva next February are pub lish’ed in the Church News by Bishop West-Watson. “I hope they may be widely used,’ states the bishop in his monthly letter. “We want to prepare the way by prayer and faith and to keep the matter constantly before our minds,’’ he adds. “ The burden of armaments is again crushing the nations as it did before 1914. Fear is the inspiring motive of this terrible competition—fear of other nations, and fear of trusting disputed rights to arbitration. Tn ordinary cases, petitions at church doors are to Ire deprecated. but in this case I think that we might well try to give all our people the chance of signing the great petition which is at present before us.”
