COLLECTING FOR BOMBS

Sut,—Collecting in districts of England for bombs to be dropped on Germany is obviously anti-Christian. So is paying income-tax, which provides money for precisely the same purpose. War itself is anti- Christian. But war is a very necessary thing, as we can see at the moment. If we are to indulge in it we must discard Christianity. Christianity and war are like two live-wires. If they touch, sparks

begin to fly.—Yours, &c., R. H. BURNETT. West Lyn, Marshalswick Lane, St. Albans, Herts.
