The Archbishop of Canterbury celebrated his 80th birthday last Saturday,

and we would add our sincere 'congratulations to the many which he has received. Canterbury honoured the occasion in the -manner which, We may be sure, was most to the liking -of the Archbishop. Ile received an address from the clergy of the diocese, and was Made a freeman of the city. Few other -Arch- bishops have lived–through times which called for so much tact and such an expenditure of physical energy. There is no " let-up " for an Archbishop as there is for members of a Government. We can only hope that these long years of service will be rewarded by a happy culmi- nation to the revision of the Prayer Book. -
