STRAND.

Jackie Saunders, the tomboy OF the

fence, a tree, a rope, or an antagonist
with equal facility and grace, has bet
ter than her usual chance to fascinate
in "A Bit of Kindling." new Mutual

Miss Jackie in some of her most ap-
pealing moods.
AS STICKS" the newsgirl, holding
down a metropolitan corner and fight
ing for her rights against lot of very
tough lads, whom she terrorizes into
subjection, Jackie" seems at first a
virago with sharp tongue and

This impression is dispelled under
the softening influence of love that
assails Miss sticks" In the person OF
James Morgan, a wealthy young fellow
of good parentage who has been hit

to realization of his folly when the
pretty little newsglrl rescues him from

force of the little drama is in its pro-
vision OF opportunity for the display of
Jackie saunders versatility. She goes
from grave. to gay, from anger to love
making. and from alleys to drawing
rooms, with extraordinary grace. In
short, "a Bit OF Kinding" Is Just the
sort Of play Miss Jackie's friends love

combatant or non-combatant, under

While our brethren will not be freed

HAIR BRUSHES

! lions contrary to the Gospel; in which
case we should meekly but faithfully
stand true to the principles of the
Gospel, even if the consequences en-
tail suffering. This position has been
exemplified by the apostles (Acts s.:
29) and our early church fathers.
Past Favors Acknowledged.
1t is with grateful hearts that we
recount the favors and considerations
accorded our people in the past. In
the days Of William Penn our fathers
accepted his invitation to immigrate
to this land where they might enjoy
the freedom of conscience in religion
and exemption from military service.
These benefits were later confirmd to
them by the Constitution of the United
States and by State Constitutions.
We rejoice that freedom of conscience
is thus recognized by the laws of our
land. We appreciate the exemption
accorded our brethren, both in the
North and in the South, during the
Civil War, when once their position
with reference to war became fully
known. We still have among us breth-
rem who suffered for conscience's sake
during that period, but recall with
much gratitude the freedom from mil
uary service which that exemption
secrued for them.
We are grateful for the exemption
clause for nonresident people in the
new Selective Draft law, and hereby ex-
press the hope that when the powers
that be fully understand our position
with reference to military service, this
clause referring to non-combatant SER
vice may be accordingly modified.
Our Standard.
We acknowledge with deep humilia-
ton that not all of our people have
lived in full conformity with the Cos
pei standard or consistent with our
profession Of a holy life. Some con-
trary to the teachings of the Church,
have. been entangled in politics, in
con,mercialism, in pleasure seeking,
ard in other forms of worldliness; but
it should be borne in mind that such
conduct has been without regard to
the express wish and teaching Of the
Church. The Mennonite Church shav-
ing continually. stood for the surren-
'dered life, consistent separation
from the world, and an attitude OF
peace toward all men, we call upon
our people to bear in mind our Obliga-
lions (Eph. 4:1) that in all places
they may be known by the Scriptural
designation-"A peculiar people, zeal

Recommendations.

1. TO THE BROTHERHOOD
Recommend that in humility we seek
at the throne of grace the blessings
which others have sought to secure
through the power of the sword. That
we continue our prayers in behalf of
the rulers of our land and all others
in authority, continue to pray for the
peace of nations; that we maintain a
calmness of mind and heart that
naturally accompanies trust in God ;
that we refrain from uncharitable
criticism in any form, and avoid heat
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-09-13
given our religious con-

consideration given our religious con-
victions, as previously stated, we
take this opportunity of giving ex-
preston of our attitude concerning
the issue as it now confronts us. AS
a Christian people we have always en-
deavored to support the government
under which we lived in every capac-
ity consistent with the teaching Of the
Gospel as we understand it, and will
continue to do so; but according to
this teaching we cannot participate in
war in any form; that is, to aid or
abet war, whether in a combatant or
non-combatant capacity. We are con-
scious of what this attitude, under ex-
listing circumstances, may mean. No
one who really understands our po-
sition will accuse us of either dis
loyalty or cowardice; for our record
has proven our submissiveness to the
powers that be, and to maintain our
position under present conditions re-
quires greater courage than to &C
cept non-c ombatant service. But be-
lieving as we do, that any form OF
service under the militay arm OF the
government means responsibility,
either directly or indirectly, for the
taking of human life and other de-
structive acts of war, we cannot con-
sistently do otherwise than hold aloof
from every form of military service.
Our people have at all times refrained
from voluntary enlistment for service
in any form under previous military
laws, and for us now to accept service
under the military arm of the govern
ment, would be equivalent to denial
of the faith and principles which we
have held as vital to our spiritual we'll
being and eternal salvation.
We appeal to the President of the
United States and all others in author
ity to bear with us in this attitude and
not to construe our position as a lack
of appreciation for past favors or as
an act Of disloyalty; also to grant unto
us full liberty of conscience and the
free exercise of our faith.
