2 TIMELY NEWS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND CITY'S SUBURBS 'PLAIN PEOPLE' LEWIS EMERY, JR., , TO GO TO CAMP Expect to Be Punished For Refusal to Aid U. S. at War Souderton, Pa., Sept. 4.—Mennonite young men called in the draft will respond on the dates fixed for their appearance at local board headquar ters to entrain for mobilization camps. Moreover, the? will meekly travel to these camps with their fellows in the call. But when they arrive at the mo bilization points they will decline to wear a soldier's uniform or perform, as combatants or as noncombatants, sny service in any way related to warfare. For this they expect .to be stnt as prisoners into detention camps where they are resolved to remain, hrmbly but firmly obedient to the highest tenets pf their fa?kh—"thou shalt not kill" and "return good for evil." This was the decision of the Fran conia Conference of Old eMnnonites, held in Souderton Mennonite Church here to-day When it was reached by a vote of the bishops, ministers and deacons, the nearly one thousand con ferees wept in their resignation to what they believe the will of the Lord and then they exported their depart ing youth to "go with'A chidlike faith in one another and a childlike love for one another and for the world an.l to resist naught but temptation." With the simplicity almost incredi ble unless it were seen, the believers in nonres'.stance commended the souls of their sons to God while they "are suffering the punishment meted out to them for their faith" and counseled them to remain silent in face of all persecutions, great or petty. They told them to abstain from all the pleasures of camp life, particularly enjoining them against such incon sistencies wkh their humility as card playing and the use of tobacco. They raised a fund to defray the obliga tions of such as "undergo the punish ment" and, crying like the children whose pure lives they seek to emulate joined with the lads in emotional p>aying for the peace of nations and the salvation of man. 300 SCHOOLCHILDREN' Newport, Pa., Sept. 4.
