An intercession service was held last Sunday afternoon on the

steps of St. Paul's Cathedral. Detachments of the City regiments from the various camps, to the number of between three and four thousand men, marched from Trafalgar Square with the Bishop of London at their head, and formed a semi- circle facing the Cathedral. After the service the Bishop delivered .a short address, showing how the war had revealed the souls of the nations engaged. The service was memorable and worthy of the occasion, for, as a writer in the Morning Post well puts it, these were the City's new train-bands mustered for the latest and greatest chapter in our history.
