LED BY FALSE SHEPHERD
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.
London, April 9. Urging that there is no alternative for the churches of the world than complete and final repudiation of war, the Rev. F. W. Norwood, Minister of the City Temple and former chairman of the Congregational Union of England, in a presidential address to the National Free Church Assembly, dramatically exclaimed: “It would be better that Christianity had a blood-red sunset with almost certain resurrection than that it should again posture before its Lord, giving Him thanks for an exhausted end when it came and calling it peace. “If the militarists took the world into
another shambles none would be more surprised than they at the effects of the upheaval. “Not for ever will men go like sheep to slaughter at the behest of the blind. They will ally themselves with other sheep and make an inquisition of the false shepherds who lead them astray.”
