BISHOP’S REPLY TO PRO-BOERS.
The Record ” prints a long letter from the Bishop of Liverpool, addressed to the Swiss branch of the Evangelical Alliance, which issued a pro-Boer appeal to “ the Christians of Great Britain.”
The points of the Bishop’s clear and convincing reply are: (1) We did not seek the war, it was forced upon us; (2) we have net conducted the war unrighteously or cruelly; (3) farm-burning has only been ordered when absolutely necessary; (4) the Boer women and children have been crowded into camps because they could not be kept alive in any other way; and (5) the great mass of Evangelical Christians in Great Britain support the war. The Bishop adds that the alliance has acted on seriously defective information, and formulated charges against its Christian brethren which are calculated to do serious harm to the cause of Evangelical Christianity throughout the world.
