Prayers for Missions Delayed

In the English Episcopal church of Yokohama, Japan, it was announced a short time since, that a special service of prayer for missions had been appointed. Great pains was taken to have a full meeting. The day arrived. The people assembled early, to hear only that it would be impossible to pray for missions that day, because the prayers had not arrived. It was all due to the negligence of the Bishop of London. There is a droll humor about this that our good neighbor, The Churchman, we are afraid, will fail to quiet.—Herald of Truth
