Convention of the United Lath era a Cbnrch in America (1040) : Ws believe that the conscience of the Individusl, Informed and inspired by the Word of God, is the final authority la determining conduct. Acts 5:29. Conscientious ness is one of the essential virtues of good citizenship. Therefore, under this evangelical principle of freedom of conscience we recog nize the Individual right to con clentiona objection to service la a war. Such recognition doea not Imply tbe Church's approval of sach conscientious objection but does proclaim ita devotion and respect for the Scriptural princi ple of the supreme moral respon sibility of the Individual conscl ence. Acts l:2t. As the exponent and defender of Christian princi ple the Church must respect and safeguard the right ef the Chris tian in his exercise of that re sponsibility. The obvious diffi culties Involved, such- as the sbuse of the principle by hypo crites using conscience as a cloak for cowardice, do net eucuse the Church from Its sacred obliga tion of defending the principle at stake. They do challenge the Church to special care in fudging the spirit aad motives of those who may call ape the Cbnrch for safeguarding in each a po sition, They also challenge all Christiana to n heert-eeaching study of what the Word of God and the witness of the Church tesch concerning the duties or the Christian citlsea to the 8tate.

Jan. OO-As the last rays of the set ting sun peeked across the lagoon, John crushed Mary to his manly bosom and they lived happily ever arter. Or did they? Let's look at the Imaginary case of Johnny Doe and Mary- kins Roe. Johnny whose draft number was near the head of the list, met Mary nt a party and they decided they danced divinely together. They were married three days later, aad thought their love was a lasting thing. What Is the chance that their marriage will be a happy oae? We asked the question of Dr. Ernest R. Groves, professor of sociology who has taught mar riage courses at the University of North Carolina the Inst IS years and la credited with being; the first person to convince edu cators that sach courses hart a place in a college's curricula. Groves he's affectionately known as -Dr. of Trouble" to the students at Carolina said he couldn't give an unqualified an swer, because the human element makea all marriages . different, but it seemed to him the married life of John and Mary started oat with two strikes. Always Chance His observations apply to mar riage la general. "There's always a chance that John and Mary are exactly fitted for each other, and that their marriage will be a happy oae, ho said. "You see yon can't any definitely thnt their marriage will be happy or anhappy aniens yen know both John and! Mary and have an opportunity to atady their Daexgroands. 1 'But the cards are against them for. at least two reasons. First, here is a hasty marriage, and any motive which leads to a snick marriage is a bad motive. Second. we know that oae' reason ' for John's marrying is his belief that by so doing he can , escape the draft. Possibly daring the very first argument he has with his wife he will think: "1 never would have married her in the first place, if it hadnt been for the draft. Even the army would be heaven compared with this." - Aad what happens-If, in 'the heat of argument, John expresses this thought. I That may be the beginning of the end, aaid Sr. Grevesu. No womsn. or mam either, for that mattercan have it said that ahe la beiag used. Possibly that's why wealthy people neesa to have so much trouble. Possibly they wonder whether they were mar ried for their money. ,t r . tXaay Successful i War condltlona - Increase the number of marriages.
