Any land which closes its churches and stifles its prophets is inviting inevit. able doom. We record with warm. est admiration the stand taken by our Lutheran brethren in Norway who refused to permit themselves to be used as unworthy tools of a ruthless dictatorship, preferring any penalty rather than betrayal of the high trust committed to them in their ordination vows.”
