"FOOLS RUSH IN. . . "
"More than 300 women members of the Methodist
Missionary Societies, at Lake Junaluska, from
Twelve States in the Southeastern Jurisdiction oi
the Methodist church, attending a Missionary Conference,
went on record protesting universal military
conscription in peace time." The discussion was led by
Miss Thelma Stephens, of Nashville, when Christian
Social Relations in the new Methodist church ivere
under consideration. The resolution was aimed directly
at the military conscription bill now pending in
congress, as a part of the National Defense program,
and wires were ordered sent to President Roosevelt
and Senator Key Pittman, advising them of the action
of the Methodist women. Air mail letters were
directed to Senators Wheeler, Taft, Bennett Clark
' and Walsh.
As for us, though Miss Stevens is a personal

can accomplish, that is of any service to their church
or their country, by such tactics. We can not understand
how they can presume to speak for the thousands
of women who compose the Methodist Mission.
ary Societies in the South, who are as loyal Americans
as ever trod the earth, and many of whom are as
consecrated to their Christianity and their church
as any Women anywhere have ever been.
We didn't think much, in the first place, of this
union of the Methodist churches. As time goes on
we think even less of it. The South has sacrificec
much to the preachers' insistance upon having a denomination
with greater membership than any othei
Protestant church.. We had enough un-American
thought and teaching, coming down from the higherups,
before the union of the Methodist branches
Now, that sort of thing may grow worse. The action
of the 300 women at Lake Junaluska would tend tc
prove that such is the case.
The only things that these women can hope tc
accomplish, by such resolutions and such telegrams,
is to give aidJand comfort to Hitler and his gang,
who, if they had the power ,would overthrow every
iHpciI fnr whieh the Christian church, for whom
these women assay to speak, stands for, and has stood
for through the ages. Their action tends to hinder the
work of their government in preparing to defend
the sacred principles for which the American government
and the American churches stand. It gives
encouragement to the Isolationists and Pacifists,
whose fallacious thinking have helped to bring upon
the world a disaster unparalled in history, since the
barbarian ancestors of the present Gei; no overthrew
the Roman civilization and plunged the worlc
into centuries of darkness and misery, from which
we had to slowly emerge by tortuous suffering anc
seeking after the light. It helps every Communist
every fifth columnist, every subversive agency in
America to gain a step nearer its goal, the final overthrow
of American democracy and American Christi.
ATI it. V
This kind of teaching, this kind of thinking, this
kind of action has been all too prevalent in the
Methodist church for the past quarter of a century,
As a Methodist, as a World War Veteran, as an American,
we have resented it repeatedly in the past. We
believed that the unprovoked attacks upon peaceloving,
God-fearing, and helpless countries by the
' Beast of Berlin, had shocked even the most dense oi
our people into sanity along those lines. But it appears
that some of them still prefer to hold to fallacious
theories, instead of facing facts as they are. Should
Britain fall before the monster of force and the
British fleet either cease to be a bulwark of defense
of the Americas, or actually be turned against us; anc
should penetration of Totalitarianism in Americs
\ begin, either by force or by subtle means, then these
misguided women would see that either Americs
must fight, or see every ideal in which they have be\
lieved trodden under foot of the Totalitarians. If we

| position to do so, if we had trained men. We are wisely
f) preparing the equipment; but the equipment woulc
be worthless without trained men. If we should come
to war, which God forbid, our young men would be ir
better position to preserve the country and its ideals
and to save their own lives, if they had been properly
trained in military ways.
We wonder if these women ever read the incideni
where the Master asked his close desciples whethe]
they had a sword, and advised that, if not, they shoulc
buy one? ,
We think that passage in the Gospels is wel
