CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS
Many men and women have been
and many more are becoming oppos
ed to war. Some churches like the
Friends and Menonites have refused
to bear arms, declaring war to be un
charistian. Often these Conscient
ous Objectors have been cruelly per- j
secuted even by their own brethern.
Today many Governments respect
the Conscientious Objector. The
British are very kind to this class!
today.
More churches are feeling that
war is unchristian and futude, and if
this international murder is ever
abolished, the churches must take,
the initiative and make sacrifice
necessary. In order to register the i
flunking of men of the churches in
this field, many churches are enroll*
ing those who are opposed to war
and preserving the record thereof,

Bcientioua Objectors. The Christian
church here is cooperating in the
Brotherhood movement. Cards will
be furnished those who wish to en
roll as Conscientious Objectors to
war, and those who so enroll will be

this is not propaganda, but the op

to exercise your conscience in this

A special service is arranged for
