Napanee, Ont, Aug. 13 (To the Editor): I read your article in yes- terday's Whig under the head of "A Call to the Church," with a great deal of surprise, and I confess with some indignation I regard the whole article from beginning to end as a libel on the Methodist Church, I know of no Methodist court except the Toronto Conference that said anything against sending tobacco to the troops. Why hold the whole Methodist Church, composed of twelve annual conferences and some 300,000 members, responsible for the action of perhaps less than a hundred men? Whether it is wise or not to send tobacco to the troops I am convinced that ninety-nine members of the church out of every hundred would be willing to grant the troops this indulgence. Take the following sentence: "From a let- ter in the Christian Guardian last week it appears that the Methodist ! ministers and laymen who made the objection have no other end in view than to add to the hardships of the Empire's defenders from Canada." Could a more unkind or wunchari- table sentence be written 'or one more unworthy of a respectable pa- per? You know perfectly well that "no Methodist minister in the Dominion would add one iota to the hardships of the men from Canada, who are defending the Empire. All through the article reference is made over and over again to the Metho- dist Church as if the whole church were responsible for the actions of a few Jndividuals who happen to be- Iong to that denomination. I claim that the members of the Methodist Chur¢h are just as loyal to the Empire as the members of any other church in the Dominion, and that they are doing just 'as much for the comfort of the sol- diers. We are not working for the Empire or for the comfort of the sol- diers as churches, but as citizens, and the citizens wha happen to be Methodists are doing their full share. There are four' Methodist churches in Kingston, and I ven- ture to say that the members of these churches have done as much for the comfort of the soldiers, in helping the Red Cross work, and in every other way as the members of other churches. This is not the first time that the Whig has reflect- ed on .the Methodist Church during the past few months #n- relation to this war. What it hopes to gain by speaking unkindly and ungenerous- ly of one of the great churches of the country, especially in this time of stress and strain and struggle, I am at a loss to know.--S.
