"SPIRIT LOOSED FROM HELL"
BISHOP KEBUKES THE PEACE CRANKS. The Bishop of Nrislol, in the diocesan magazine recently issued, deprecates "well-meant but mischievous'efforts of 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 nobler trait of humanity, and destruction of all that we value as Christians, let alone as 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. "It is the height of folly to suppose that to stop recruiting now will bring peace all the sooner. To secure a peace while the vile and unhallowed, spirit still holds sway will not inaugurate a new ami untroubled era of Christian love and brotherhood, That is the vainest of dreams and the most fatuous of delusions. Stay recruiting, hinder munition making, strike for higher pay. squeeze out profits from the nation,' and our bra re lads at the front will be decimated and discouraged."
