Bluffton college student not to reg
ister for the draft.
From his pulpit at the Community
church, Rev. Donald Harrington told
worshippers “If Gara should be in
jail, then I should be in jail, too,
Harrington, 35, said he would not
register for military service himself
and has told young men of his con
victions and reasons for them.
Harrington in his sermon said
“Rickert had already decided three
months before not to register. All
that Gara did was tell him to obey
the voice of God speaking in his
heart regardless of what the state
might do or try to do to coerce him.”
“I have advised young men who
have come to me for advice,” Har
rington said, "that they should con
sult their consciences and follow
them wheresoever they may lead.”
“In other words,” he added, “if

Gara is guilty, then I am guilty.”
Harrington said the church “bas
ically is non-sectarian,” being owned
and operated by its members. The
church was founded in 1825, he add
ed, as a Unitarian institution and

Meanwhile indications this week
were that the U. S. Sixth Circuit

of the draft law is expected to be
argued before the circuit court of
appeals during the fall term.
During the trial, Rickert, Bluffton
