BISHOP OF MONMOUTH
WE MEET HITLER'S CHAL.
LENGE"
h'Phe whole Christian way of life
is being challenged by Hitler. Thanks
God, we have risen up to meet that
challenge."
The Bishop of Monmouth said that
at Newport Central Hall on Monday.
First prineiples were being attac-
ked, he added. One of them was be -1 in prayer, in God's over ruling
providence. The civilisation strong ;
enough to rise up and meet 'such a
challenge prevailed; if, through weak-
nese,
eaknese, lethargy, that challenge was not
met, that civilisation failed,
"Today," said the Bishop, "human-
ism is being challenged by Hitler's
invasion of Russia. Humanism—the
brotherhood of man; Clvristianity,
which includes the Fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man: are
being challenged by 'the Fascist and
Nazi Dictators
"But we have shown virility, stren-
gth,
trepgth, belief in God. We are meeting
that ehalleng.e physically ..by our ar-
med forces, morally, by casting off
the works of darkness and by walking
on a higher moral plane than at the
beginning of 1939; spiritually, by the
revival of worship and prayer.
Suis To Confess
"While we cannot admit for a mom-
ent that we are responsible for this
War—it is the work 'of the powers of
darkness•—we have other sine to con-
fess, national and individual; .our in-
diffeeenee to, worship, our easy-going
tolerance of evil in high places, our
failure to vindieete the right and pun-
ish wron8• The riegleet of worship: of
God oh the L.ord1e Day is the solemn
sin of Britain :today. . , worship
without works is worthless
We .believe it was not God's will
that,, • Ilkley 'end Mws9olim should
launch this' Wan ' It' Was their' sin
If we did not believe that, we should
not support this War for a second."
The Bishop eontinned that G- 's
will was for life, not death, and added:
"I sincerely trust you will hesstsr e
in future' to put on a tombstone `Thy
will .be done, as: though, it were God's,
will that people should die, and die
at that particular time That is feta- 1
limn, not Christianity. But it may be
God's will that you and 1 shouto risk!
our lives and all that we have in the
defence of righteousness, truth., and
justice. Doing God's will does invol
ve suffering—the Cross, death—but
it also involves a glorious resurrec-
tion. We know we can conquer •
through the Cross of Christ if, like
Christ, being in agony, we pray more
earnestly."
The meeting was called by the May-
or of Newport (Councillor W. G. Rudd
' J.P.), who ,with tnemebrs of the Town.
Council and Corporation officials at -1
'tended. The Rev. Edwin Burges (of
( Newport Central Hall) presided, and
others who took past were the Rev.
Cenydd 5, Morgan (Mayor's Chap-
lain) the Rev. Alexander Leitch
(Duelepooh-road Baptist Church, New-
port), and the Rev. 'W, A. Sandford
(Stow -hill MethodistChurch, Newport
and President of Newport Free church
Council), Organ accompaniments and
selections' were played by Mr, Arthus
Sims. —Herald, Newport, Wales.
NAZIS CANNOT BE CHRISTIANS
A book which has just been pub-
lished in Gentian, gives a clear idea
of the; new' official' "German Faith"
which le to 'replace Christianity.. The
title 'df the book is "Gott Und Volk,"
and that it' lies Patty backing is evi-
dent from the fact that' ah eady: 200:'
000 copies have been circulated atnon'M"
and' their wickedness; we believe it
was God's will that we should fight.
few quotations to show the kind of
faith the Nazis mean to plant in Ger-
manv:
• "We Germans have been called. upon
by Fate to be the first to*break with
Christianity. It is to be an honour."
"Wherever a fight for the souls of
Germans is going en, there are fronts.
The fronts are clear. One front is
called Christianity and the other is
Germany. There is no third. There
is else no compromise."
"Baptism and Confirmation: We
will receive the newly -born into the
community of the nation, not as Cath-
olics, not as Protestants, but as Ger-
mans."
"Marriages: In future there will
only be a German consecration of
marriages. Marriages will not be
concluded in the name of the Church."
"Bible: Take the Ohl Testament
and burn it in consecrated places. And
thank Gocl that He sent the Fuehrer,"
"Civilisation: The age of Christian
civilisation is. past. Only German Me -
ligation has anything, to ray. We
are Germans. Therefore we cannot
be Christians,"
"Education: Every day every bour
is lost which our youth spend in
Church. We want to educate them to
tear the faith of Christiaity` out of
their hearts; only Germany .has a
place there. How do we want to ed-
ucate our chiidren? At though they
had never healed of Christianity."
