VICTORY NOT ENOUGH
The winning of the war. the actual defeat in arms of the German nation, is not enough writes Canon A. F. Cockin, of St. Paul’s. It may, indeed, be the first necessity, as being the only condition on which we shall have the opportunity ot doing anything else. But no man who contemplates with any imaginative realism the condition to which Europe may well be reduced by the time that first stage is accomplished can fail to realise how much more exacting will be the tasks which will then remain to be undertaken. The technical difficulties of those tasks, even to the extent that we can foresee them will be immense. But it is not this aspect of the situation which gives ground for the deepest anxiety. The question which really gives us pause is the Question whether we have the deteimination, the courage, the faith, the vision which alone will make us undertake and carry them through.
