Menn0nites Refuse to Buy Liber
ty Bonds.

Menn0nites Refuse to Buy Liber
ty Bonds.
We are informed by the district
Liberty Loan Committee that the
Mennonites at Bon Homme have
refused to buy Liberty Bonds, al
tho several members of the COM
mittee went after them and beg
ged them, supplicated them, i'm
plored and beseeched them to buy
SO, 900 worth of Liberty Bonds.
the amount apportioned for them
to buy, but the committees suppl
cations fell on barren soil. The
bewhiskered followers of Menno
Simons advanced the argument
that to aid or abet in war is against
their religion and that the Book
Of books says so. True, they
have donated $500 to the Re-
Cross and we doff our hats to them
on this score and if they should
sign the 3rd Liberty Loan card for
the ten thousand plunks, we'd be
willing to believe that the world
do progress" as uncle Remus
puts it. Surely the boys at the
colony are against organized bar
barity even if they profess, per-
haps skin deep, non-resistance to
evil. Their religion surely teach
es them to fight Satan and his CO.
horts, the German government; so
why should they not give of the
blessings that the good Lord has
bestowed upon them to help fight
Satan and his right hand man,
Wilhelm, the thrice damned.
To the critical mind the Good
Book reveals the fact the Israeli
tes were a warlike, boastful, blood
thirsty and vindictive race and
the Lord dispersed them to all cor
ners of the globe as a punishment
leaving them without a country
and that they are the prototypes
Of the present day Huns. The
Lord will not be mocked, and has
in store the same punishment for
for the Hun. Granting that the
Mennonites are men of Peace, we
remind them that Patrick Henry
at one time said gentlemen may
cry peace, but there is no peace"
not while Germany is aiming to
enslave the world, and if they or
we wish absolute peace we might
just as we'll lay down and let the
Huns ravish our women, mutilate
our children and kill us off, as
they are doing to Belgians and OF
hers and then the Mennonite and
kindred religious sects opposed to
war shall have absolute peace; for
dead ones have no pain, no an
guish, no agony.
The Mennonite creed teaches Sc
paration from the world and its
vanities, the refusal of civic du-
ties, since it is held that the state
is un-Christian, refusal to take
he oath or use the sword, but we
cannot see the logic of boarding
money and money is the scource
of all evil and theirs is not the
kingdom of this world. To be
consistent the Mennonites should
heed the Divine law to raise the
sword for the right and justice,
even if they reject the razor, but
tons and the shears and mark well
that the lowly Nazarene said
verify / say unto you that a ca
mel shall sooner pass thru the eye
Of the needle than the rich man EN-
ter the kingdom of God". The
Mennonites own thousands of ac-
res Of fine land and are growing
richer every day, and while buy
ing $4,000 worth of Liberty
Bonds may be against their reli
gion, $50 or 500 worth might be
u different proposition and their
religion might sanction that.
