Addresses on behalf of the Convocations of Canterbury and York

were presented on Tuesday to the King at Buckingham Palace. In his replies his Majesty cordially acknowledged the reference to his efforts as pacificator : " The concord of Christendom is unbroken, and rarely in history has the idea of war seemed more repulsive, or the desire for peace been more widely cherished throughout my Empire." The King added that he looked forward to the approaching visit of the Prince of Wales to the United Colonies of South Africa " to set the seal upon the reconciliation for which both my Dutch and British subjects have faithfully laboured."
