Show CHURCH LEADER , POINTS TO CURRENT EVILS The Rt. Rev. William T. Manning, Man-ning, Bishop of the Protesetant Episcopal church, points out that "the Christian religion teaches that there are evils worse than bodily suffering and death and there are things which we must ! uphold and defend even at the cost of life itself." This is a truth that pacifist-inclined pacifist-inclined citizens forget when they deprecate .the heroic service of our fighting men whose efforts alone make it possible for them to have any independence of thought. We have never been able to understand un-derstand the eager readiness of certain clergymen to give aid and comfort to aggressors and evil doers and we are thoroughly in accord with Bishop Manning's conclusion that "this tends to discredit dis-credit religion by giving the impression im-pression that the pacifist position is the true Christian position." |
