RELIGIOUS FERVOUR
PREQUISITE OF VICTORY “Bad news from the Far East, intimation of new austerities required at home, will only stiffen their (the British people’s) resolution to do all that is humanly possible; but the power of superhuman achievement, which has descended upon them at their high moments of delication, dops not come through these things. It comes only by a clear vision of the supreme issues for which they fight. They know the danger in which their country stands; they have all been moved profoundly by the foul "brutalities that the enemy has perpetrated; they are aware that they and their families would not escape them if the enemy descended upon the island. But in these alone there are only negative motives; neither fear nor indignation can communicate the sustained and positive impulse. If this war is to be fought through to that complete victory which alone can make a tolerable world, its objectives must be conceived with the intensity of religious fervour.”—The Times, London.
