MILITARY TRAINING.
THE PRESBYTERIAN STANDPOINT. (Per Press Association ) Dunedin, July 20. The Dunedin Presbytery again addressed itself to-day to the problem of the attitude it should assume towards the Government’s scheme of compulsory military training. A motion calling on the people to cheerfully acquiesce in tho demands of the Defence Act was defeated, and an amendment simply stating it to bo tho duty of the people to obey the law of the land was similarly treated. The motion 'that, was finally passed by ten votes to seven was one stating that tho Presbytery did not deem it expedient to express any approval of the Government’s scheme. Five ministers asked that their names be recorded as dissenting from the decision.
