About This Item
Akron, Pa: Mennonite Central Committee, 1945. Very good.. Two pamphlets. [12];[8]pp. Illustrated self wrappers, stapled. Minor soiling and wear. Two pamphlets issued by the Mennonite Church promoting peaceful contributions to the war effort for its pacifist members. The first offers details on the Civilian Public Service, a string of nearly fifty camps across the United States and Puerto Rico operated by the Mennonite Church for agriculture, conservation, and healthcare, to which men could volunteer for the duration of the war. The second explains the necessity of being a conscientious objector as a Mennonite as well as its validity, and denounces various occupations such as working in defense plants as inherently violent, before it exhorts readers to join the CPS.
