METH0DISTSS SEEK
EXEMPTION FROM
SERVICE IN WAR

LONG BEACH, Cal, June 81. W.D
"A resolution urging the exemp-
ticn of members of the Methodist
Episcopal church from military
service in time of war, was present.
ed at a church conference here late
yesterday. and precipitated Bit
ter battle in the ranks of clergymen
today.
The resolution was not acted up
on by members of the Southern CAL
ifornia conference of the church,
and it was predicted it would die
in committee.
But its presentation had the ef-
feet of a bombshell, for numerous
clergymen who had served as
chaplains during the World War
were strong in protest against it.
The resolution, as presented, de-
clared.
I'VE, as Christians who owe our
allegiance to Jesus Christ, believe
war is in violation of this allegi-
ance; therefore the government
should be petitioned by the general
conference TO exempt members OF
the Methodist Episcopal church who
have such beliefs.
I'VE renounce war as national
policy, and believe participation ir
war by members OF the church Is
i'll violation of our allegiance to
Jesus Christ
Although the resolution was sent
back 10 committee, the conference
passed, on its own account, reso-
luton opposing compulsory mill
tary training as in violation of re-
ligious training, and reaffirmed the
right of members to refuse to sup
port any war. 1t recommended, in
the event of war, a conscription of
property wealth and labor
