CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR.
CHRISTCHURCH, February 18., At a meeting of the Christohuroh Ministers' Association to-day a long discussion took place on the present position of conscientious objectors in the dominion. The meeting was unanimous in its support' of the sacred right of conscience, but anxious not to shield the shirker. Finally the Rev. W. J. North moved that, in view of the charges of gross ill-treatment recently and publicly made in Christchurch, the Ministers' Association urge that the Government appoint a commission of inquiry into the treatment of conscientious objectors by the military authorities. The motion was carried unanimously.
