CHURCH AND WAR.
PRESBYTERIAN ATTITUDE. Per Press- Association. AUCKLAND, Sept. 28. Replying to Hon. A. D. McLeod’s remarks in Parliament regarding Presbyterians and war, the Moderator, of the Presbyterian Assembly (Dr Dickie) said this morning that he thought not more than 2 or 3 per cent, of Presbyterians were pacifists. He certainly was not. There was a small but very active pacifist group, but not more so than in other bodies. The Church believed that sometimes war was the least of a number of conflicting evils. The question of the righteousness of a war would depend on the circumstances. The Church s official policy was to support the League, Dr Dickie said.
