Non-Resiistance and the Friends
From Peoria Journal.

From Peoria Journal
Society of Friends. which claimed among its
members such prominent and Influential men as
Il William Penn John Dickinson, James Logan, Ma
thaniel Green John Bright, John G. Whittier and many
other men of intelligence and great power for good
is not unanimous maintaining the old policy OF nonre
when national affairs considered and when
barbarous government Europe is attempting to bring
all the world under its dominion.
After failing to recognition in our own
journals" "a privately owned one hundred prominent
members Society of Friends signed letter which
was sent the New York Herald and in which these
hundred Friends took exception the old theory of the
Friends
1--WE believe the Master to have been re-
ligious teacher in normal times, whose words
were addressed to individuals living in those
times. We cannot think that He would nave re-
NAMED neutral against organized savagery. In
the political affairs of nation we are to render
unto Caesar the things that Caesars" Jesus
made known His attitude by the questions His
hearers asked Him. We cannot think that If the
inna bistnrv of German,s intrigue and barbarism
was related to Him and the question asked, rs 1t
lawful for to rise and resist the aggression OF
this mighty power by force of arms or covet
bondage for ourselves and our children, that
He would answer, LET the giant have his way,
resist him not" Rather, we believe, would He
have said "They that take the sword shall per-
ish with the sword and in such cause whose
ever will save his life shall lose it, but whose
ever shall lose his life the same shall save it.
We remember His words in the CAD chapter of
Matthew and His armed forcible driving of the
money changers from the temple, with the de-
struction of their property; His statement that
He came not to send peace, but sword; His
injunction to His disciples to sell their garments
and buy swords; His prophecy that wars must
needs be-" and many other sayings that were
not the language of savsh submission to ag
erosion and evil but of manly resistance. His
teaching that love enemies can, we think,
be made complete non-resistance to ma
tonal aggression and evil only by tearing them
out from the rest of the New Testament and
their setting in Oriental thought and life as we'll
as by ignoring the conduct of the Master Him.

This statement by the Quakers puts at rest the OLE
claim that all Quakers opposed to war and that al
members of that Society believe in nonresisence at al

What Your Bond Will Do

The Liberty Loan Committee says:
when the wars costing Uncle Sam $1,000
or 900 month, what's the good of my little old
$50 bond? Fizz! - it's gone. What's the
use? might as well buy myself cheese sand
witch and give the change to the waiter"
But you are wrong, Mr.. Conscientious-Ob-
'jector-to-beng Separated rom-your-coin, when
you say that. Listen!
Down comes German shell crash, upon an
American trench. A dozen of the boys fall,
bleeding, into the mud. The stretcher bearers
rush forward. THANK heaven" says the lieu
tenant, for that negro barber-shop porter back IN
Chicago who bought that $50 bond? Tetanus
killed thousands of poor fellows back in 1915, but
we don't have to worry. His little bond Will
keep 139 of us safe from lock jaw"
At the first aid dressing station the nurses
were busy. That's the 16Oth first aid packet
I've applied this morning" said one. How
many lives will they save? It's wonderful to
think they all came from one $50 Liberty bond.
I understand little waitress back in Illinois paid
for it."
At the field hospital the surgeons had their
hands full. "Got enough ether?" asked the
major. "Sure," replied the captain. "A Polish
laborer back on the west side in old Chicago did
that for us with his $50 bond. Means enough
anesthetic to make 400 operations painless. And
as for bandages, Mary O'Gradys $50 has sup
Piled enough to tie up 555 wounded hands,
Out in No Mans Land the soldiers, lying in
the hot sum- began to drink the dirty water in
the shell holes 1--WE should worry" said the
corporal. "That $50 Liberty bond purchased by
little lame George Browne, who can't be a SOL
dier himself, will keep 666 of us big huskies safe
from typhoid here on the firing line. And as for
smallpox. one baby bond means immunity for l.,
900 soldiers"
But Mr.. Conscientious Objector-to-being-
Separated from our-Coin, if you really want to
help win the war; buy more than one $50 bond
Their power grows faster than their denomina-
tions.
Three $50 bonds, for instance, will fully
equip an infantry soldier for service overseas.
Or it will feed him on Uncle Sans rations for
twelve months Four of the little $5Os-any
small office can contribute that many-wi buy
a cavalry horse or a mule for the ammunition
train, or to haul water cart of combat wagon.
Six of the "baby" bonds will not only equip
a soldier in full, but will feed him for year in
France. Or they will buy motorcycle for ma
chine gun company. Eight $50 bonds will buy
an X-ray outfit Ten of them, the combined
contribution of ten stenographers or clerks, will
supply the quota of bicycles for headquarters
company Of an infantry regiment. Sixteen OF
the little bonds would mean four big strong
mules to pull an ambulance.
Bonds to the amount of one thousand dollars
