^{page 211 note 1} Indeed, it is the very continuity of this scholastic approach which seems striking in England. The views expressed in Jackson, F. J. (ed.), The Faith and War, London 1915Google Scholar, or in Carpenter, S. C., Faith in Time of War, London 1940Google Scholar, are not essentially different from many of those now under discussion.

^{page 211 note 5} In Germany, too, a leading Evangelical used these arguments to dissuade German Evangelicals from sympathising with the Western powers: Inquirer, 3 March 1855.

^{page 211 note 6} This is particularly marked in the Watchman, e.g. 15 March 1854.

^{page 212 note 1} Parliamentary debates, 3rd Series, cxxxi. 591–604, 10 March 1854. Shaftesbury went so far as to find the mainspring of the Czar's policy in his alarm at the implications of the widespread distribution of the Scriptures in Turkey-in-Europe and a firman placing Protestants on the same footing as the ancient Christian communities.

^{page 212 note 2} Cumming frequently published his views, for example in The End (1855).

^{page 212 note 3} This was urged by Dr. John Aiton, an admirer of Cumming, in The Drying up of the Euphrates, or, The downfall of Turkey prophetically considered (1853). Cumming himself believed that the war was justified, but that Russia would not be permanently checked: The War and its Issues, London 1855, 94.

^{page 215 note 3} From the London Gazette it appears that no fast was proclaimed in 1914.

^{page 215 note 4} In March 1832 a fast was proclaimed on account of the cholera epidemic, another in March 1847 on account of the Irish famine and one in October 1857 on account of the Indian Mutiny. On other occasions special forms of prayer were ordered, although ‘public and national acts of worship’ were many times urged in vain.

^{page 217 note 4} This may reflect the hesitant attitude towards the war among Irish Roman Catholic leaders, since the Roman Catholic bishops had sanctioned the fast proclaimed at the time of the Irish Famine. High Churchmen welcomed the fast, although they criticised the form of prayer prescribed (English Churchman, 27 April 1854).
