TIME TO STRIKE OUT
“CHURCH AND WAR” BISHOP’S CONTENTION [ Ter Press Association ] NEW PLYMOUTH. May 17. Great work was being done quietly and insistently by the Cnurch to make people peace-minded instead of warminded, the Bishop of Waikato (Rt. Rev. C. A. Cherringion; told the National conference of the Cnurch of England’s Men’s Society, which opened here this morning. The Bishop suggested that the time had come for the Church to strike out and outlaw war as it had outlawed slavery. "To-day thousands of people are waiting tor the Church tu say something straight-out about the colossal difficulty facing the world—war,” he declared. Wnen would the Church condemn war as it had condemned slavery as base and diabolical’.' Despite the determination 20 years ago that there would be no more war there was a fear of war to-day. Those who fought to end war and make the worid a better place to live in had deluded themselves with these thoughts.
