Letter to The Letter Uoited Church Victoria Road, Ont. October 27th, l'J39. Editor of The Advance: Dear Sir, â€" The declaration against war by a pacifist group of United Church ministers, as presented in the United Church "Obsei-ver" of Oct. 15, does not express the sentiment of the majority of ministers in the church. This pacifist group< representing only a small minority of ministers, are not the kind to set themselves forward as leaders in a time of crisis when the Empire is at war defending her right to live. The contention of the group is "that war is incompatible with the Christian spirit and aims." Would they say that it is wrong and unchristian for England and France to fight in a war of defence, to stop Hitler from murdering women and children without mercy ? Do the breth- ren know that it is wrong to sow seeds of disloyalty in a time when "England expects every man to do his duty?" I am opposed to their manifesto, because I do not see in it any sig^s of loyalty to our Dominion Govern- ment in a time of war. â€"P. TILLER, United Church Minister. MAXWELL CHARGE REV. GEO. L. MERCER, B.D., D.D. Minister A visitor tells of Hitler gnawing nervously at a fingernail. If all else fails, the Fuehrer slowly devouring himself is a solution. ROAD CLOSING NOTICE SUNDAY.
