ciples. II is not that they seek to
deceive others, or to get an unfair ex-
emption from the burdens others must
bear for them, but they are victims
OF sophistry. n sophistry so cunningly
developed that. they seek shelter and
justification behind biased interpre-
tation OF the scriptures.
Actually however. this question Of
conscientious objection has been car
ried outside the province OF religion
and has become a problem for gov
ernmental solution. Morally their poA
sition is indefensible. The objector
cannot set himself up as a moral
standard for the rest OF the world.
Many evils may seek perpetuation
under the guise OF religious convic-
tion. II there is anything in his con-
victions worth holding on to, they are
worth fighting TO preserve. II he
cannot defend his own convictions,
they are not worth holding. and If he
does defend them he is violating his
pacifist professions. The logic OF the
objector is that every man on earth
should be left alone to do Just as he
pleases. for to restrain or prevent him
would be a sin. II would mean politi-
cal, religious and social anarchy to
carry out his belief. The policeman
who arrests n murderer is doing
wrong. The man who shoots a burglar
who enters his house at night would
/ be an unJustifioble murderer. The
man who defends wife or daughter
against the ravisher would be sinner
The objector will not go to war, but
is willing to enjoy the results OF wars.
He is quite willing to accept the pro-
lection of the police. He is quite
die in order that his rights and privi-
leges may be preserved. The govern
ment is not going to ask any citizen
TO do wrong. II has even conceded
the objector his right to peace. But
If the objector is sincere. let him take
the consequences OF his opinions. Let
him lie deprived of all political and
social rights, for they have come to
him only as the result of that wicked
warfare which he abhors. He has no
inherent right to these privileges.
They are government grants. The OBJ
jector has no claim upon n govern
ment he disavows. no righteous de-
mand upon a country whose laws.
institutions. life and civilization he
refuses to defend. He is n man with
out a country. and, unless he be a
cowardly shirker. he will be suffi-
ciently moral to accept cheerfully the
consequences of his convictions.

Two Poker Hands.

One OF the passengers in the smoker
of a sleeping car out of New York
related with much gusto an encounter
which he recently had with desper-
ate western man, the weapons being
cards. The game was poker, the spe-
cial occasion was that old familiar
big jack pot" which so often figures
in profane history, and the two prin-
ciples were armed with straight
flushes. 1T was a 81 limit game"
remarked the young man, "and we
bet 81 times and then l called him.
He had a sequence flush-queen high,
and l had one king high. You should
have heard him swear"
An old man listened with great at
tcntion to the story and at its con-
clusion he exclaimed, with much cam
did astonishment:
You call him.
The young man blushed and ac-
knowledged his guilt.
"Wen. we'll" said the old man,
shaking his head, those times is suit.

POWER OF SOPUSTRY.

II ~ not fair TO say that every man
who claims he has conscientious OBJ
jections to war is possessed OF yell
low streak, for some OF them sin
cerely believe they are doing Gods
will In refusing TO fight or to aid In
the processes OF fighting. Some Of
them, no doubt, have suddenly dcvel-
oped conscientious objections to meet
the occasion. but our real problem is
with those who are sincere. They
have deceived themselves so thoroly
and have wandered so far after false
teachings that they even conceive the
progress Of the human race depends
upon their fidelity to pacifist prin-
