THE CHURCH AND DEFENCE.
A Wawii. telegram tells us that two clergymen'joined in. an anti-military dem.onistrn.tion in; .that township yesl terday. The clergy 'are supposed to ' )'je the guardians of Ifche jmbraT nnd spiritual Hvell-bcJiig of the people. How , any memlber cf the cloth, can. incite people to defy the laws of the country we air.3 utterly at a was. to know. Tip basic principle underlying all' true M'.ms c'f 'religion is a rigid observance of the laws made for the good governimisoti cif .society. Any departure from 'th'is prineipV strikes a blow at- irelighn, and) a clergyman, who encourages •it is •rendering hiimse!? and his church 'fob'.o to' impeachment.
