prevent wars then surely His Church
cannot be supposed to prevent them
1t is only those who are so exclusive
ly occupied with mans happiness here
in this world as to forget or ignore
his eternal destiny who are inclued
to think of humanity as having failed
because at particular time there is
a great amount of unhappiness here.
Unhappiness and discomfort are often
the sources of mans highest inspira-
ton. Times of stress and trial have
lifted men up to the highest and best
that is in them. One thing is per-
fectly certain-that if the Creator in
tended man to be happy, as if that
were the end of existence, then indeed
creation has been a pathetic failure.
We used to think of war ridden per-
iods as hopelessly backward; now we
know that they can occur at times
when men are seriously striving up
ward. 1t throws an entirely new light
on history and makes us understand
ourselves and our own period much
better than before. We used to talk
about the Middle Ages as dark ages
above all because of their tendency to
go to war. Now in the light of the
war we can understand their signifi-

satisfaction with ourselves so charac-

the past that history becomes readily

christ's Divinity Denied by New An
glican Bishop.
(By G. P. A. Service to The Catholic
Standard and Times.)
London, Dec. 20.-Peculiarities of
the Anglican Church are brought into
prominence by the appointment to the
See of Hereford of Canon Hensley
Henson.
This Protestant divine does not be-
lieve in the divinity of Our Lord and
has on more than one occasion pub
licly proclaimed the fact, yet he is
considered fit occupant of the episco-
pal bench. His elevation has been
greeted with Joy by "broad" church
men and nonconformists, while the
High Church party in his diocese
have issued protest against his ap-
pointment.
Another Anglican clergyman, Dean
Inge, has been quoted as standing up
in the pulpit and saying that the Al
lies are suicide club and that we
can never hope to beat Germany!
