The Blessing
The sermon by the Archbishop of Canterbury tonight is specially notable on account of the message to listeners on lightships that it will contain. The movement to supply wireless to the lightsmen who, whether on lightships or on lighthouses, are often almost entirely cut off from their kind, was started by the Missions to Seamen in 1926, when fifteen wireless sets were provided. At Christmas a fund was opened by the Daily News and Star, and in ten days enough money was received to give the boon of wireless to all the lightsmen around our coasts. All, therefore, are now in a position to hear the special message that the Primate will broadcast tonight.
