Review and Herald, August 26, 1862, James White, Editor
The Nation.
SEVERAL brethren refer to our remarks under this caption, two weeks since, in rather a feverish style. We invite them to read the article again, and be sure they understand our position before opposing it. Hold!- brethren. This is no time for Christian gentlemen to give way to feelings of prejudice, and virtually charge us with teaching Sabbath-breaking and murder. You had better all go to God with this matter, and secure to yourselves a humble, teachable spirit; then if any of you are drafted, and choose to have a clinch with Uncle Sam rather than to obey, you can try it. We shall not contend with you, lest some of you non-resistants get up a little war before you are called upon to fight for your country. Any well-written articles, calculated to shed light upon our duty as a people in reference to the present war, will receive prompt attention.
