SERMON ON ANNIVERSARY OF
BATTLE OF BRITAIN
"BATTLE OF BRITAIN" SUNDAY
London, Sept. 16. Cities, towns and hamlets throughout Great Britain today Britain celebrated "Battle of Sunday"the sixth anniversary of RAF Fighter Command's greatest victory over the Luft- waffe, when 185 German planes Southern were destroyed over England.
Services were held at parishi churches, and in London Battle of Britain pilots attended a Thanksgiving Service in West-i minster Abbey.
"On September 15, 1940, the RAF accounted for more than 180 enemy aircraft and shortly after the German Air Armada broke off the Battle of Britain just at a time when the fighting power of the Air Force had reached a dangerously low level," sald the Rev. T. Ryder, R.A.F., in a sermon preached yesterday in St. John's Cathedral on the anniversary of the "Battle of Britain."
"Lord Dowding, who directed the RAF in that
historic battle, later wrote: 'I pay homage to those gallant boys who gave their all that their nation might live. I pay tribute to their leaders. But I say with absolute conviction that I can trace the intervention of God not only in the battle itself but in the events which led up to it. If it had not been for this intervention the battle would have been join- ed in conditions which, humanly speaking, would have rendered victory wholly impossi-
