METHODISTS ATTITUDE TO WAR.
“CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.” The Wellington District Methodist Synod on Thursday declared its attitude to war. The following motion, based on one approved at the last English Methodist Conference, wag'adopted after an attempt to the clause relating to rearmament : “Believing that war should be 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 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 their organisations which have as their object the maintenance of peace, the developing and applying of international law and the building up of human welfare.”
