Exemption from Military Training

AN effort has recently been made in South Africa to get a bill through parliament making it compulsory for all young men to take military training. Our brethren have been working diligently to oppose this measure, and have circulated freely a little leaflet entitled "Should Christians Bear Arms?" Prof. H. Elffers reports that after visiting members of the select committee in charge of the bill, and as a result of the efforts of all, an exemption clause was agreed to, as follows: "That any young man whose religious convictions conscientiously forbid him to carry arms, shall be exempted from the operation of this law, provided always he may be called upon to perform ambulance service."
