Show Just a few questions for the man whose "conscience" will not permit him to fight: Suppose Jesus Christ had been walking in Belgium when "UrtS5?.army hcoka.cross the-border, and had seen soldiers plun0e .the bayonets through innocent children; chil-dren; had seen women and young girls treated as only beasts are capable ca-pable of treating them; had seen the aged and infirm shot down without mercy and without provocation: had seen soldiers captured in what they supposed to be honorable warfare, crucified by their captors; had seen aviators deliberately search out hospitals hos-pitals and nurses' quarters for bombing bomb-ing had he seen all this, would he have stood by unmoved and refused to 1ft his hand to right these das-' tardly wrongs? If that is your con-! ception of Christ, you are right in I your refusal to fight, for if he were what you picture him he would be its poor a specimen of humanity as yourself and you are the limit. |
