ANGLICAN MISSONS
CHRISTIANS FACE TEST (By Telegraph.—special to Times) WELLINGTON, Wednesday The challenge to the enterprise and faith of Christian mission workers which the present world situation represented was the theme of a sermon preached by the Bishop of Auckland, the Rt. Rev. W. Simkin.. at a Choral Eucharist celebrated in the Cathedral Church of St. Paul today in connection with the annual festival of the Anglican Board of Missions. The celebrant was Archbishop West Watson. “The lust of power has entered into the thoughts of non-Christian nations and there have been placed in the hands of some of those nations terrible engines of destruction and methods of warfare,” said the bishop. The present war was a struggle between Christ and Anti-Christ. The year 1940 then was a testing time for Christian people. Their courage and loyalty to their professions of faith, their dedication to the eternal principles of that faith and the sacrifices they were prepared to make, to uphold them were the things that mattered.
