responded to the call. It was because
the British people have not yet forgotten
God that we welcome this day of prayer

have sunk deeply into the subsoil of the

Beatty have in England's history called

years ago Admiral Collingwood, who sur-
vived and succeeded Nelson at the battle
of Trafalgar, after a notable victory, ad-
dressed his fleet in the following words:
"The Almighty God, Whose arm is
strength, having of His great mercy
been pleased to crown the exertion of
His Majesty's fleet with success in giv-
ing them a complete victory over their
enemies on the 21st of this month; and
that all praise and thanksgiving may be
offered up to the Throne of Grace for
the great benefits to our country and to
mankind -I have thought proper that
a day should be appointed of general
humiliation before God. and thanks-
giving for this His merciful goodness,
imploring forgiveness of our sins. a con-
tinuation of His Divine mercy, and His
constant aid to us in the defense of our
country's liberties and laws, without
which the utmost efforts of man are
naught: and direct therefore that a cer-
tain day be appointed for this holy pur-
pose."
