Description
Excerpt from I Appeal Unto Cæsar: The Case of the Conscientious Objector
The Government of the day faced this difficulty with tact and prudence. They introduced compulsory service gradually, reluctantly, and not until the great majority of the nation was ready to acquiesce in its necessity. In the Act they introduced special clauses to exempt Conscientious Objectors, and, very wisely, they made it clear that to have a conscience a man need not be a member Of any particular religious sect. TO have insisted, as'some people wished, that only members of specified sects should have a right to exemption, would have left out Of account more than half of the most sincere and passionate objectors.
