Whereas this Conference de sires to place on record its grati tude to Almighty God for the many mercies that the Domin ion of Canada has enjoyed while many the nations engaged in the current world war as well as many neutral nations are suffer ing fearful hardships such as a scarcity of food and destructive diseases while we in a large measure are enjoying prosperity and suffering few privations These favorable conditions we ascribe in great measure under Divine Providence lo the relation we sustain to the British Empire and also lo our proximity to the great Republic of the United States both of which nations have been so instrumental in the hand of God in spreading right eousness throughout the world and in protecting the weaker na tions from the oppressions of the stronger but unprincipled ones Believing as we do that the present struggle is one from which these nations could not have refrained without sacrific ing heir right to be called the protectors of the oppressed and downtrodden it is Therefore resolved Thai this Conference urge up on all of our people the advisabil ity of such active interest as can be consistently taken to advance the cause of the Allies and fur ther that in keeping with the Scripture injunction that prayer be marie for Kings and those who are in authority do hereby re commend that a portion of time he set aside by the Conference in which we shall unitedly offer voul thanksgiving lo God for the measure of success already at tained our navies and armies and for he protection afforded Our soldiers and all who arc act ively engaged in the great task of overthrowing the military power that has brought about such a condition as exists today and further thai prayer- he offered First for our rulers and those in authority may seek and obtain wisdom from on high that will qualify them for their respective offices Second for our Armies and Navies and the various agencies engaged in assisting them Third for the nations that may be visited with a gracious re vival of religion thai will purify US from sin which the wise men declared is a reproach to any people and establish that char acter and degree of righteousness which will exalt the nations be lieving as we do that this and this alone is the way to a true and permanent peace Cunningham BLOOMING ON Rev and Mrs A Sanderson of were guests of Mr Tanmers Mrs Stouffer and
