The following resolution was made a part of the records of the yearly meeting: "Resolved, That we pledge our love and loyalty to our country, and. desire always to be willing to make any rightful sacrifice in the interests of genuine patriotism; but that we cannot permit a false idea of patriotism to blind us to the faot, that we owe our love to all mankind and must not per mit It to be circumscribed by geo graphical boundaries; and that we must place our loyalty to Jesus Christ above our loyalty to. any man or set of men, being true to our conscientious convic tions at whatever cost."
