BY RELIGIOUS News Service.

The protest issued this week by
% well-known churchmen against
"obliteration bombing" is considered
in well-informed religious circles to
represent the views of paciflst ele-
ments in the churches who have al
ways been opposed to war. 1t does
not, according to executives of large
religious constituencies, generally
reflect the attitude of the rank and
file of churchmen.
Up till the present there has been
no open protest. in church conven-
tions, in the religious press, or in
other channels through which
church opinion is made known,
against the current bombing policy.
This is not to say that all church.
men approve the bombings. A Ger
tain amount of uneasiness and mis-
giving is apparent even among those
religious leaders who are aggressive
| ly antipaciflst, and who wonder
what has happened to the widely
heralded precision bombing Of the
United States Army Air Force.
Pacifist Movement.
| Generally speaking, however, the
attitude of churchmen toward mass
bombing is, so far as can be ascer-
tanned, similar to their conviction
about the whole war: They don't
like it but believe it to be a tragic
necessity" The churches of the
country have gone through tre-
mendous inner struggle about the
war. At the beginning the pacif1st
viewpoint had considerable influ-
ence, but churchmen have, by and
large, resolved the issue by accept
ing the war, not as a Christian cru
sade but as measure which they
believe to be necessary in order to
prevent the worse evil Of Na1
tyranny.
indicative Of this attitude was the
statement issued in Philadelphia
this week by DR.. Daniel A. Polling,
president Of the International
Christian Endeavor Society. He
asked whether the 28 clergymen
who signed the authorizing state
ment want the Axis to win.
Every word spoken now and
every act speeds victory, strength
ems America and the Allies to win
quickly, or gives comfort to the
enemy" he said. Surely proper
regard for all the sacred issues in
volved and for those Americans
who have sons in action suggests

Churchmen Worried.
Some churchmen are worried, Re-

statement by the 20 pacifists may be
misinterpreted as the views of the
Protestant church. Church leaders
voicing this concern are eager to
have it known that, in their opin-

fleets the opinion of a minority
group.
Protests against wide -scale bomb
ings of enemy cities, it will be re-

denied that he ever knew the
Galilean. The other disciples, with
the exception of John, scattered like
scared sheep. False leaders of the
Jewish nation egged on the mob
to support the murder of an in
nocent Man.
The scene opened with a fare
well feast Of fellowship, carefully
planned. In seclusion. The heart
hunger OF Jesus for the understand
ing OF His comrades is beyond de-
scription.
Like thorn in His heart was
the consciousness that one of His
dearest was a traitor. The presence
of Judas seemed to restrain the free
flow of the Masters talk, but after
he had departed on his foul errand
Jesus opened Eis heart in the fare
we'll discourse that has been meat
and drink to the spirits of countless
Christians throughout the ages.
After the upper room came the
retreat to Gethsemane. The Mount
of Olives, but or 10 minutes walk
to the east of Jerusalem, was a IA
vorite resort Of Jesus.
There, while the disciples slept,
the Master underwent His most
awful hour. He faced all that lay
ahead and accepted the price that
He and the Father had to pay for
the redemption of sinful man.
What sink of sand was Peter on
the night of nights! Yet he became
the rock that Jesus had seen in him
from the first.
The truth of forgiveness and
restoration is at the very center of
the cross.
There is not space to deal with
PLATE, the typical politician who
had no convictions that he would
not trade for votes. His name is
forever bracketed with that of Judas.
Every man in public life, who would
save his own soul, should make a
study of the personality and actions
of PLATE
But above all rises the strong and
serene figure of the Christ, calmly
facing the cross for the love of God
and man.
