In the early afternoon a short and impressive service was hold in Zion Church, beginning at 12.30 and concluding at one o’cleck. The Rev. G. C. Taylor presided, and among those who took part in the service, besides the Chairman, were Lieutenant-Governor Roger and Mr T. C. James. There was a fairly large gathering, who at the end of the ser- vice sang the.`National Anthem with inspiring earnestness. In f-118 el/6111118 El service was held in the First Methodist Church, conducted by the Rev. Mr McLean. The church was crowded, evidencing- the keen enthuiasm which pervades the people of Charlottetown in the present grave situation. _ Rev. Mr. Taylor having offered a fervent and eloquent prayer on behalf of the Empire, its army and navy, the Rev. Dr. Fullerton addressed the coii- gregation shortly. I-le said he rejoiced to see such a large assembly there that evening. There was no scene so sublime, so heart-touching, as that of such an assembly of persons onli united in prayer to God. No one of them was willing to sacrifice the frec- dom and liberty they enjoyed for any present, temporary, dear-bought peace. They believed that God was the God of nations and that God Himself was in the centre of this very conflict. Tlwy believed, moreover, that God stood on the side of the Empire in this great battle. They were not there, then, to vilify or speak any oaluiniiy against the Germans. They believed that many of them were simply un- willing instruments iii the hands of a military Oligarchy. But that should not keep them from emphas;-sing their faith that God was with them and that His was the wisdom that shadowed them. The hour was come, continued the DOC!-OP. and they were ready to pray that God would give triumph to their arms and crown their under- taking with such magnificent success that much of the expenditure for arm- aments in this age would be unknown iii the ages to come. He needed not to speak to them about the justice of the Empire’s cause, nor remind them that the Empire’s name would have gone down in shame had she not stood by Belgium. Belgium, realising what the British had done, and were doing, in its behalf, manfnlly faced the over- Wllelmlllg foe. and while she could not turn them back she delayed their advance, so that victory was partially on the Allies' side. Would they not have ben traitors to honor, to truth and to righteousness had they failed to stand by that litle country? Bel- gium was iii a state of starvation, mlllly actually dyixig, and the question for them was, what were they pre- pared to do for them in view of what they had done for the Empire in mak- IIIK, the stand they did against the foe. As he had said, they were nc; there to caluiiiiiiate thc Germans, but surely. if they were speaking of the righteousness of their undertaking, it WHS Only proper that the atrocities of the Germans should be made known. CUUCIUGIIIH. Dr Fullerton said that if 1116>' would Pray so that in Canada they should be bound in golden links about the feet of God, then behind their prayer there must be sacrifice- sucrifice which would be felt, but made gladly because they believed it was in the cause of humanity, and the cause of humanity was the cause of God.

Sept. 9.-“We want every penny we can raise, to help fight the enemy," said David Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer, reply- ing to-day to a deputation from the municipalities which wanted the aid of the Treasury in securing loans at 'cheap rates. “We must come out triumphant in this struggle," continued the Chancel- lor. “and as finance is going to play a very important part in it we must husband our resources.
