KINGS CALL TO THE NATION.
HARD WORK TO PREVENT
"POVERTY.
The King and Queen drove in state on July 30 from Bucking- ham Palace to the Guildhall, where they received from the Corporation of the City of London an address of congratulation on the conclusion of a victorious peace. Both in the Guildhall and during the drive the Royal party were enthustastically greeted. They were received by the. Lord Mayor, and after the usual cere- mony the City Recorder read the address which the Lord Mayor presented, kneeling to the King.
In his reply the King said:
The Queen and I thank you very sincerely for your loyal address and for the welcome which you have given us. It is a great pleasure to receive in person the congratulations of the City of London on the victorious termination of the war and the signing of the Treaty of Peace.
Our last visit to this ancient Guildhall was little more than a the time year ago. At that Allied forces were engaged in the most desperate of all their strug- gles with our chief enemy. On the main theatre of battle his armies were pressing forward to the attack, and were gaining ground.
"None of us despaired, of ul- timate success, but the crisis of the great conflict had yet to be passed, and we could not then fortell how long victory would be delayed or at what price it would be finally bought..
"A very few days later began that wonderful offensive of the Allied armies which turned the tide of war on the western front and flowed on in ever-increasing success until it culminated in the destruction of the enemy's fight- ing power and his unqualified acceptance of our conditions of peace. (Applause.)
For the preservation of our country and for the peace so happily restored to as we recently met together in St. Paul's Cathedral to render our humble and hearty thanks to God..
"By invitation of the authori- ties of the Church of England, representatives of the Free Churches were officially present at the service, and it is matter for deep gratification that in the solemn expression of the nation's gratitude for a national deliver- ance, Christians of all denomina- tion and schools of religious bought joined together in common worship.
It is my sincere hope that this may prove to be a step towards a closer co-operation between religious communities for the spiritual life of the nation.

NEW MINERAL SPRING DISCOVERED IN KENT.
RIVAL TO GERMAN INDUSTRY
English history is mingled to a large extent with a discovery which is likely to arouse wide- spread interest among geologists and naturalists, make known still wider the name of the Isle of Thanet, and create another local industry which will have the effect of capturing a source of revenue at one time largely enjoyed by the Germans, says the 'East Kent Times.
Ebbsfleet, at the south-eastern end of the parish of Minster, which figures as the landing place of the first Englishmen, is the particular centre of interest in this twentieth century develop- ment, and to trace the connection we must go back for a period of no less than fourteen centuries.
