THE CHURCHES ON WAR.
The Archbishop of York, Dr. Teniple, asked the Edinburgh Conference of Protestant Churches to adopt a declaration in the following terms : We have met at a time of great strain and distress alike in Europe and in the Far East. We watch with sympathy and sorrow the menace and the horrors of war. We are persuaded that war never occurs except as a result of expression of that sin from which Christ came to redeem the world. We therefore call all men, and ourselves before all others, to pray that God may give to us and to all men the lovo of justice, the readiness to forgive, the knowledge of His will, and the courage to obey it. For all who bear rule in their nations we ask the abundant bestowal of these gifts, and we pray that, despite all earthly causes of estrahgement, Christians in all lands may be united iu the felloAvship of prayer and obedience.
