Apart altogether from this Vicar's incompetency to dis- course on the policies of other nations, which are better left to those qualified to deal with the matter, it is a sorry spectacle to see a professing minister of the Gospel of Peace and Goodwill urging his hearers to prepare for war.

There are already enough agencies in the world working in this latter direction.
