“TROUBLED TIMES”
Speakers at the Bible Society Reference to the troubled times the nation and the world are passing through was made by two speakers at the annual meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society yesterday. “We are thinking in terms of catastrophe and so getting away from the great purpose of Christ which is made so clear in lhe Lord’s Prayer, ‘Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven,’ ” said the Bishop of Wellington. "It is much more easy to-day to be a pessimist than at any time we can perceive in the past,” he went on. “There is a new spirit and new need in the heart of the world’s life.” The second speaker was the Rev. E. J. Salisbury, a missionary from the Belgan Congo, who is revisiting Wellington, his home town. He said, "the path to world hijrmony is becoming more difficult. It is because we us an- Empire have drifted so far from God's Word that we are in the political crisis we are to-day.”
