In acknowledging the receipt of Divine favour, in contem- plating the blessings which have been bes towed upon us, we shall reveal the spiritual strength of the nation. The year has been marked by a continuation of peace, whereby our country has enter ed into a relationship of better under- standing with all the other nations of the earth.
