For Christianity

WHEN he supported a conscientious objector before the South Wales appeals tribunal at Cardiff recently, a pastor said it would be against his conscience to fight even if England were at war against a country whose object was the destruction of Chris tianity.

He was Pastor Frederick A. Poole, of the Apostolic Church. He appeared for Ivor Hugh Baley, of Aberdare, who said he was opposed to all forms of service under the Military Training Act. Refused To Help War Machino

Judge Davies: Suppose someone tried to kill, you would you try to defend yourself?

"I could not say until the occasion aroce," Price replied.
