METHODISTS AND WAR
WELLINGTON SYNOD DECLARES ITS ATTITUDE (PHBSS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, November 15. The Wellington District Methodist Synod to-day declared its attitude to war in the following motion, based on one approved at the last Bntish Methodist conference. The motion was adopted after an -attempt to delete the clause about rearmament. "Believing that war should bo condemned as a crime against humanity and repudiated as a method of settling international disputes, we desire to add our quota to the plea that calls upon the governments and peoples of the world to turn from policies of rearmament and to direct their endeavours to the strengthening of the League of Nations and all other organisations which have as their object the maintenance of peace, the developing and applying of international law, and the buiding up of human welfare."
