CAUSE AND EFFECT?
RELIGION AND THE WAR EVILS OF "MODERNISM" 1 Recently a preacher in Bournemouth, England, spoke to his peopie in these words:— We have been a pleasure-loving people, destrcjang God's day, picnicking and bathing . . . Now the seashores arc barred, no picnics, no bathing. Wc have preferred motor travel to churchgoing . . . Now there is a shortage of motor fuel. Wc have ignored the ringing of church bells, calling up to worship. . . . Now noi bells ring except as a warning of invasion. We have left our churches empty when they should have been filled with worshippers . . . Now many of our churches are in ruins. We would not listen to the Christ of Peace . . . Now we are compelled to listen to the hell of war. We gave no tithes to the Lord's work . . . Now the money goes in war taxes and increased prices. The food for which we gave no thanks? ... Is now scarce or unprocurable. The service we would not give freely unto God ... Is now con-« script for war. (ConWr'tti'f! in ucxt column)
