I cannot think how I could have forgotten about the prayer, for I
myself asked the Primate to write it. I knew him well, and I was
greatly struck by the few verses he wrote about “War” shortly
after the trouble in South Africa had commenced.
When I was ordered out I wrote to the Primate and asked him to
write out a short prayer. I had some thousand copies printed and
distributed.
I am so glad you discovered who the author was, although your
doing so proves and makes me sad to think that my memory is not
so good as I thought it was.
