MISSIONARY CONFERENCE
RENUNCIATION OF WAR URGED. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received April 9, 7.36 p.m. A. and N.Z. Jerusalem, April 8. The Bishop of Salisbury was preacher at the closing service of the Missionary Council. There was impressive singing at the Easter service by men and women of the Russian Cathedral choir. It is significant that a resolution of the closing session urged missionaries not to lay claims on their governments for armed defence of missionaries and mission properties. Another resolution urged them to exert unremitting effort and prayer for the renunciation of war. Dr. Mott, New York, the chairman of the conference, described it as the most courageous meeting in -his forty years’ experience. He was convinced it would have far-reaching effects.
