WAR AND PEACE.
SYND’S ATTITUDE. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Nov. 24. The pronouncement of the Public Questions Committee on the subject of peace' was placed, .before the annual synod of the Otago-Souihland District of tlie Methodist Church to-day by ltev. L. B. Neale. In an endeavour to clarify the resolution passed by the 1936 conference, 16 questions were .'submitted. Only the first of these concerning the implications of the resolution that “war is contrary to the spirit and purpose of Jesus Christ” was edalt with and it was considered that the synod’s finding on this point cancelled the necessity for the remaining question. Mr Neale’s motion, which was carried, was that the clause be altered to read as follows:—“Military aggression which has for its chief object the annexation or dominance of territories or peoples for economic or liuttoiia policy is contrary to the spirit a purpose of Jesus Christ.
