(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.2 p.m.) STOCKHOLM, April 7. All the clergymen in .Norway have handed in their resignations to the Quislingite Church Department. The Swedish newspaper "Tidningen” reports that a letter was read in churches throughout Norway oh Easter Sunday, and giving reasons for the mass resignations, states that this step has been taken, with heavy hearts, for the sake of the Christian life of the _ congregations. The clergy announced that they will continue to fulfil their calling as far as possible for Christians without official dignity. The resignations are reported to have staggered the Quisling Government. Herr Feyling. an official of the Ministry for Church Education, issued a statement that this was an act of re-' volt. It was a sort of a declaration of war. Those responsible must be aware that measures will be taken concerning the resignations, primarily against the leaders who are responsible for them. ■
