THE KING TO CON- VOCATION.
A Stable Peace the Goal
The following is the text of the King's reply to the Address framg the Convocation of York present- ed to his blajesty at the opening of the now Convocation last month:
It is a sincere pleasure to me to receive your loyal and datiful- address. I thank you for your prayers that blessings may be bestował upon myself, the Queer, and all the Royal Family.
The recent Canon to which I wa pleased to assent will give to Convocation a more representa- sire character and a greater strength and breadth of counsel in forwarding the interests of the Church and people of this Realm.
It is right that you should re- call that though nearly three the years bars passed since Armistice, the thoughts of men are still chastened by the depres ision that has followed the period of way, and by the anxieties and burdens that still beset them. A alable peace is the goal towards which
must unceasingly labour, and I fael confident that my Ministers at bome and from my Dominions bayond the Seas will keep it unwaveringly before them.
WO
I thank you for your graceful bute to my beloved son. His) visits to different parts of my Empire have, I hope and believe.
