BAPTIST ASSEMBLY

Sir, —Mr. Alexander Hodge says that I should make sure of my facts before rushing into print. The facts are only too evident. The assembly passed an expression of loyalty to the Throne and of encouragement to those youths who will not assist in the defence of tho King's realm. Loyalty is being faithful or true to one's allegiance, observant of one's obligations to one's King and country. It is an axiom of logic that no proposition can be both true and false; any proposition must bo either true or false. The assembly asserts its byalty to the Throne, and negatives that assertion by tho encouragement given to disloyalists who deny their obligations to King and country, therefore, the assembly is quite illogical. Mr. Hodge approves of rendering unto Caesar the tilings that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's. The trouble with pacifists is that they seem unable to wisely discriminate between the two. They also fail to realise that many besides themselves abhor war, but are not content to pass resolutions leaving the defence of their homes and dear ones to the " other fellow." If Mr. Hodge does not know that all our liberties were dearly bought by the sacrifices of our fathers, his studv of history lias been singularly unfruitful. W.'M.
