BISHOP’S HOPE
FACING WAR CRISIS IMPORTANCE OF MORALE “Let us hope that in 1940 the Government will ask political opponents and other men of ‘light and leading’ in New Zealand to join with them in the government of the country in the present crisis,” writes Bishop Cherrington, in the current issue of the Waikato Diocesan Magazine. “By then, New Zealand forces will be on the way to the scene of action in Europe, and we shall be in it with the rest of the Empire. Wo all want to be together in this enterprise. “Nothing would so help the ‘morale’ of the country as to be quite sure we were all one in the business. And, after all, we may have air bases, air pilots, and equipments of war, but in the issue it is the ‘morale’ of the forces and of us civilians that makes for victory. “I am no politician,” continues the bishop, “nor can I pull any wires, but perhaps some of my readers may see this and be able to do something.
“In face of a common foe, we all need to stand shoulder to shoulder cheerfully and willingly, to do anything that we may be called upon to do,” he concludes. “Remember Poland and Finland, and let us ask why should we suffer less than they?”
