The Discipline of War Nine Addresses on the Lessons of the War in Connection with Lent
by John Hasloch Potter
About the author
Born in 1847 and died in 1935, John Hasloch Potter was an English clergyman and religious writer. Sources connected with his books identify him as The Rev. J. Hasloch Potter, M.A., and library and book records link his name to devotional and theological works such as A Present Christ and The Discipline of War.
His writing appears rooted in pastoral work rather than literary showmanship. The Discipline of War, published during the First World War, gathers Lenten addresses on moral and spiritual lessons in a time of conflict, while In As Much: The Story of the Police Court Mission 1876–1926 points to a strong interest in mission work and practical care for people caught up in the justice system.
Taken together, the surviving records suggest an author who wrote for readers seeking clear religious reflection, encouragement, and a sense of duty in daily life. He is best remembered today through public-domain editions and library catalogs that preserve his thoughtful, service-minded books.
