CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS.
TO THE EDITOR Or THB PEESS Sir, —1 have read with a good deal of interest the discussions and arguments of Presbyterian ministers over members of their faith objecting to military training, even the human work of tending tho wounded. Without giving my views on the matter, 1 would liko to express my surprise at their attitude, when 1 consider that for many years there has been an agitation to exempt from Church paTades those members of the Army or Navy who objected from one reason or the other. Yet I ani unaware that at any time has a minister of the Presbyterian Church spoken a word to aid these men from exemption, to a service to which, for reasons it is not necessary to give here, they strongly object.—Yours, etc., FA IB PLAY. Timaru, July 11th, 1929.
