Need to Invoke Divine Aid.
"It is significant and gratifying to note that the sovereign of this great Commonwealth of Nations, one of the most powerful partners m the union of nations, now triumphantly struggling against the defeated forces of evil, should call his subjects to prayer at a time when victory is so certain and so close at hand," said the Rabbi of Wellington, the Rev. S. Kantor, preaching m the Synagogue. "As a result of the recent Allied victories everywhere and the rout of the enemy, it. would be quite natural for us to feel like getting together to celebrate and to rejoice, but the King, m asking us to pray instead, is consciously or unconsciously warning us against a false sense of self-confidence and selfreliance, stressing by implication the need to invoke God's providential aid and guidance m victory as m crisis, m peace as m war, m prosperity as m adversity."
