RENOUNCING WAR.

PRAYER AND THANKS- GIVING.

London, Aug. 21.. Lord Cushendun in a letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury expresses profound satisfaction that the arch- hishops of Canterbury and York had ordered the signature of the Kellogg Anti-War Pact in Paris.on the 27th Inst. to be a subject of prayer and thanksgiving in the Churches all over the country.

He says: "The treaty may not Immediately and family banish all war from the earth, but it will be the most impressive declaration ever made by mankind of the deter- ritiuntion to preserve pence, and will inspire nations with a confid- ent hope such as they never had until now of deliverance, at least from the sickening abomination of war. There can surely, therefore, be na presumption in believing that, without divine sanction and guid ance, such a consummation could never have been achieved.-Reuter,
