Spirit Loosed from Hell
The Bishop of Bristol, in the diocesan magazine issued recently, deprecates “well meant but mischievous efforts by some some earnest people to press for peace now, when there can be no question of fellowship or reconciliation. ■’ He writes :
“ What we are fighting —and the sooner we all recognise it the better —is a system and spirit which mean death to every noble trait of humanity, and destruction of all that we value as Christians, let alone citizens of a free country. “ Don't let us lose sight of this We are up against the forces of evil and a spirit loosed from hell. To secure a peace while the vile and unhallowed spirit still holds sway will not inaugurate a new and undisturbed era of Christian love and brotherhood. That is the vainest of dreams and most fatuous of delusions. Stay recruiting, hinder munition making making, strike for higher pay, squeeze out profits from the nation, and our brave lads at the front will be decimated and discouraged. ”
