London, Mar. 25.
At no time within the past 1,700 years had the powers of evil been more active or more insolent, declared the Archbishop of Canterbury in a sermon delivered in Canterbury Cathedral on Easter Sunday.
"It is truly a spectacle of humanity suffering on a bitter cross," said the Primate of All England.
"We do not believe it is God's will that this reign of brute force should continue, We cannot doubt it is in accordance with God's will that Britain and her Allies should do their utmost regardless of the cost to end this evil."
'After the overthrow of the powers of' evil embodied in Germany's present rulers and the winning back of lands they had ravaged, it would be vital to build on the ground thus cleared a new and better order of human life, the Archbishop said.
