There is to be a New Year religious festival at Albert Hall 
      on January 1, the national day of prayer. The Archbishop of Canterbury 
      and Cardinal Hinsley will give short addresses. All religious 
      groups will be represented. The heads of the Empire and allied 
      governments here with members of the Cabinet are also going. 
      The King is being requested to send a message and I have been 
      asked for a message from the President. The object of the meeting 
      is to emphasize the fact to those here and elsewhere that the 
      Allies are fighting for the restoration and preservation of Christendom.
