The Blunder of Pacifism by F. A. Walker (Hodder & Stoughton, London, E.C.4., price 1s.).
We consider that this book which we have read and heartily recommend, has made a timely appearance. Many outstanding leaders in the professing church hold and proclaim pacifist views, the leaven of which is working among certain sections of the laity. We are surprised that any in Britain whose chief glory is that it has an open Bible, should entertain these views. The chief exponents of pacifism in this land were never known for their faithfulness to the Word of God, and had always been readier to teach for doctrines the commandments of men. In the book before us
the author goes straight to the Holy Scriptures and takes his ammunition from there and successfully batters down the fortifications behind which the pacifist shelters. We wish the book a wide circulation, and pray that it be the means of opening the eyes of such as have been the dupes of blind leaders of the blind, who have never been able to appreciate the liberty for the procuring of which our forefathers shed their blood.
