CHURCH AND WAR.
DUNEDIN November 27. Thet Presbyterian Assembly to-djay received the report of the committee appointed to consider the question of the “Outlook” and the war. The committee unanimously resolved to tender the King an expression of profound loyalty to his person, and throne and Empire, deploring and condemning war in itself, and believing that the only hope of its final elimination is through the diffusion of the spirit of Christ and the recognition of His authority over the nations. The Assembly is nevertheless aware that this war must be waged with inflexible determination, that there can be no real or stable peace unless the military power of the Central Empires is shattered, and the Germanic people themselves realise that their aggression and terrorism have brought them nothing but disaster and the moral condemnation of the whole intelligent world.
The Assembly unanimously adopted this resolution.
