['lie Archbishop of Canterbury has issued the follow'
ink Form of Prayer for the General Thanksgiving
Almighty and merciful Fattier, who by Thine over-
ruling Providence dost govern the nations upon earth :
we Thine unworthy servants desire to approach Thee
this day with the voice of praise and thanksgiving. -We
!'less Thy holy name for the success with which Thou
Nast crowned the arms of our Sovereign and her allies in
a perilous and destructive warfare ; for inspiring our
forces, both by sea and land, with a courage and endue
ance which neither the numbers nor the bravery of those
opposed to them could overcome. But chiefly we an'
knowledge it to be of Thy great goodness that Then
halt caused strife and contention to cease and bast
restored the blessings of peace to Europe. 'Praised by
Thy name for this and all Thy mercies. Grant that
every renewal of Thy lovingkindness towards our cowl'
try may lead us to unfeigned thankfulness, and dispose
us to walk more humbly and devoutly before Thee, 1)/
following Thy holy will and commandments, and by
promoting whatever may tend to the increase of true
religion and virtue throughout the land. Unite all
ranks of men among us in the bonds of brotherly love
and Christian charity ; endue them with a spirit of
piety and justice, of industry and temperance, that the
blessings which we have long enjoyed may be continued
to us and our posterity.
"We further beseech Thee, 0 Lord, that the nations
who have been engaged in the late contest, and are now
relieved from the dangers and calamities of war, ma/
seek and pursue those things which make for a people's
happiness and welfare, by the maintenance of righteous
laws, by the furtherance of kindly intercourse one with
another, and, above all, by the cultivation of true and
,
undefiled religion, to the end that, through the tranquil'
lity now happily restored, the Redeemer's kingdom
may be enlarged, and the nations of the world united ill
striving to exalt and magnify Thy glorious name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
