SERVICE IN WAR

REPLY TO BISHOP

MINISTER'S ATTITUDE

(By Telegraph—Press Asseeiation.)

CAMBRIDGE, This Day.

"As the result of a speech I made lasting no more than three minutes I have received letters from all parts of New Zealand in connection with my attitude towards war," said the Rev. C. W. Chandler, vicar of St. Andrew's Church, Cambridge, today. "In all the letters there is not one note of criticism," he said. "All congratulate me on the stand I have taken. This is a definite indication of the vast amount of underground activity going on in New Zealand today for the propagation of pacifist ideals."

Referring to the Bishop of Dunedin's criticism, Mr. Chandler said that the Bishop's remarks were published in almost every newspaper in the Dominibn. Mr. Chandler felt that the attitude adopted by the Bishop was most detrimental to the people of the world. "Regarding the Bishop's reference to the last three of the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion to which the clergy of the Church of England are asked to subscribe, I would refer his Lordship to Mr. Bernard Shaw's scathing comment on these three Articles in his preface to Major Barbara."
