RARE 1945 Methodist Anti‑Conscription and similar items

Offered here is a remarkable trio of original 1944?1945 Methodist Church political?advocacy pamphlets, all tied to the denomination?s organized campaign urging Congress to delay or reject peacetime conscription and Universal Military Training at the end of World War II. These are authentic period documents produced by the Commission on World Peace of The Methodist Church, featuring the work of Charles S. Boss, Jr. and Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, two major figures in the Church?s postwar policy movement. This set includes: 1. ?Register Christian Opinion! ? The Crusade for a New World Order? (c. 1945) Illustrated cover showing letters flowing toward the U.S. Capitol. Encourages Methodists nationwide to write Congress and influence postwar policy. 2. ?Why Postpone Consideration of Peacetime Conscription?? by Charles F. Boss, Jr. (1944?45) A detailed argument urging Congress to delay action on Universal Military Training bills. Includes quotes from the 1944 Methodist General Conference and the House of Bishops. 3. ?Express That Opinion Now!? by Roy I. Smith (1940/1945 reissue) Discusses proposed legislation requiring compulsory military training for 18?year?olds and outlines the Methodist Church?s official opposition to conscription. Together, these pamphlets form a complete snapshot of the Methodist Church?s organized political mobilization during a pivotal moment in U.S. history ? the transition from wartime to peacetime and the national debate over postwar military policy.
