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, The Disciples of Christ have since 1936 in the National Convention af* firmed the right of freedom of con science. * n oi_i 1 La.. AaaJmahul u ApTU ?JLS(* law uwii w | the day for the enrollment of Con-1 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 given the protection of the church in case of war. No one is asked to sign, this is not propaganda, but the op portunity is given you by your church to exercise your conscience in this matter. This is for you to decide. A special service is arranged for that day. C. B, Mashburn. ' DR. GREGG APPOINTED RABIES INSPECTOR! Dr. M. J. Gregg has been made ra bies inspector for Fannville town ship.
