London, Oct. 30.
Prayers in Japanese and Chinese were offered at Westminster Abbey last night in the Festival of Thanksgiving, organized by the Anglican communion in the Far East to celebrate the. jubilee of the Japanese Church and the silver jubilee of the Chinese Church, In referring to the Sino-Japanese conflict, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Cosmo Long, who presided, said no suffering could break the fellowship of prayer existing between, he Japanese and Chinese churches. It was hard to bear the conflicting loyalties, he declared, but with prayer this difficulty should be overcome.
The Archbishop quoted a message from a member of the Chinese Church saying: "I am a loyal Chinese and I hate the policy which Japan is carrying out in China with all my soul but I shall go on working for Christian brotherhood between our people."
In that spirit, the Primate added, Christianity would triumph over war.—Reuter.
