CHRISTIANITY A MOCKERY IN
TRENCHES. WRITES SOLDIER

Berlin. "A moratorium in
Christianity" is proposed by a
writer in the Christliche Welt. one
of the leading religious journals Of
Germany. The writer urges that
"in war of this character. where
ruthIessnegs of an unparalleled
type is displayed and where the
very rudiments of Christianity are
ignored, it would be wise. if Chris
tianity is to be maintained. that
it should not be preached or
thought during the continuation of
the war.
The writer, who states that he is
now serving at the front, says he
is convinced that war itself is an
evidence that for the time being
evil is uppermost in the world.
1T is as though one were obliged
to lay aside ones humanity and to
reIinquish all that distinguishes a
Christian man 1t is mockery to
ask men with blood-stained hearts
to approach the table of the Lord +"
The fighting in the trenches,
continues the article. is of such
character that every feeling of re-
Iigion and every inclination to
prayer ceases. 1t is not Christian
teaching that man wants as ne
comes fresh from the frIghtful hell
of the trenches. War is a phenom-
enon which the church should not
be able to bless. 1t is opposed to
every essential of Christianity. and
the sooner a moratorium for Chris
tianity is declared the better.
There should be no more church
nonsense about the ennobling and
purifying effects of war. For
hundreds of thousands of men at
the front. men who once believed
in the faith, the moratorium is al
ready in effect When they return
from the blood-soaked battlehelds.
their Christianity will be of a
different order, and they will in
sist upon the church adopting
different Christianity. I"
