the "church times" printed a strongly worded article complaining about the tactics of the national union of protestants. it claimed that the group had avoided protests in parishes "where there is a larger proportion of christians engaged in heavy industries, who sometimes might not know their own physical strength", and noted that disrupting a clergyman celebrating a sacrament was punishable by up to two months in prison, or a fine of up to £5. however, it stated that christians should "turn the other cheek" to the protesters.
