OPEN LETTER TO THE CHURCHES. HPHE Wellington Churches last Tuesday, in order, to form in our m»'st the League of Nations Union, by a resolution gave "expression to the ever-deepening conviction of Christian people that there must be no more war." The Evening Pest article commenting on this resolution said "the new Church movement may be regarded as ■affiliated to the great organisation which has done more than any other to keep the League itself and the politicians UP TO THE MARK," If these Churches still profess Christianity, I challenge them to publicly answer before God and man this indictment: , (1) When did a nation ever enter on a war which was not regarded by the official Priesthood us a sacred war? (2) Did the Churches in 1914 permit thespirit of the Prince of Peace to interfere when pur warmongers and Imperialist statesmen, by devilish lies, appealed to the passions and lusts of the multitude, and defied the very name of.God? * (3) Did they at any time during the preceding decade raise their voice against the monstrous millions of money which they witnessed our national action spending annually on blood and iron as a deliberate pledge that we would NOT trust Christ? (4) Did not their pulpits- resound with the same military blare, bishops, priests, and deacons urging in loud approbation of the war, and indoctrinating the populace with a spirit of hatred? (5) If they ever learnt repentance dare they preach it? Unless these questions are honestly and truthfully answered, I declare that this new. "Church movement," with its pretence of ending war, is simply another organised attempt by clerical cossacks to capture the mind of the nation, arouse its passions, and impose a common acceptanoa of more propaganda of bloody deeds in the name of a self-righteous civilisation, "While Empiric politicians use deceit." —Dryden.
