PERCTV AL Mae , KINZIE GIVES JUS VIEW EVERY BRITON SHOULD KILL AS MANY GER MANS AS POSSIBLE Dr. Derby Kays It Is a Trying Time and That Young Clergymen Are Needed London, Nov. 30. The Rev. Perei val .JdacKenzie, moderator of tb Synod of the Scottifh Church in Eng land, a young minister who is expect ing shortly to enlist ar a soldier in tks British army, has headed a revolt cs the part of the younger clergy against j the injunctions of the church leaden that it is no part of a clergyman duty to take an active part in the fighting line. Mr. MarKensie believes it is the duty of every Briton to kfll ds many Germans as possible. His reasons for this attitude, which is opposed to that of most of the dig mi. tVu fhnn-h Hre wet out IS i strong letter which he ha nt to the newspapers as follows: "The hour of the church's trial has ome. Lord Derby, although he knew perfectly well what view 'the digni-Uri.-s'"h"eld, wrote to the "young clergy and told them that their country needed them. This is the trying of the church. (This refers to the appeal which Lord Derby sent out to every eligible man in Englursl asking him to. enlist. Many of the young clergy who re vived the tppeal wish to joint, bat the church leaders some time agu practically squashed their hopes by enlisting by suiting that it was oe part of a clergyman's duties to tight, nd their vows forbade them to. take active part in battle. I "If there ever could be devised ore single way in which young church men could repudiate the charge of leing weak effeminate, triflers with ife, Ixird Derby's letter opened up that way. The whole country is look ing on to see what its public lecturers ire going to do, not say. The world has been hearing about the value of sacrilice for the last 1900 years, and he world is of the opinion that the :ime for example has come. For the last few decades l'rotestan- tantism has shown a fatal inability to accommodate its teaching to mod ern life, prom the pulpit the age has received instead of sympathy, un generous criticism, often condemna tion. The world has moved on, but the church has not accompanied it. Deprecating and denouncing, the hu'ch has lost touch with the youth f the age. Finally the hour of trial has come, unique chance of proving for all ;t:u, that the men who fought their . . . i . .. weeKiy battles xrom tncir cowarus sties" arc not and never were su- perCir.os ninnies, indigenous to ja j reeking drawirg rooms, with hands I i fine to stain with German blood; hut that they are after ail, men j -ror.g and courageous, whose hands i ire no: a-'rovl : e,-o-cutc the vet- j ;!:. have proclaimed in spebjf w h -e steps w ill nov" falter on the r. a 1 they have j. inted out to others. n who not only think, but feel and .,v and if need, he will die as the ' .ue. the good and tho brve have ' ,iveJ and died before them. ' ' ! "1 nis is. the day of the church's jirving. an! the day will declare it." Mr. MacKmiie intends to give up his ehurch work and throw himself j - lie work of making himself fit to kid Germans, though he is aware that y so doing he will be ending hia career as a clergyman. He is the rgymaii who some time ago turned his vestry into an ammunition fac tory, and men and women of his ron--reiraUon in Ixtrtdon are helping hia day and eight to make shells. Evea n his drawing; room at home he has over a ton of machinery, so that every nire moment may be utilized is making munitions.
