Denies Dr. Bartons Statement as to Contention of Quakerism Against War

The following article, under the caption "What Is the Corner Stone of Quaker Testimony Against War?" appearel in a recent issue of The American Friend, the official organ of Quakers in America. The article, written by Prof. Allen C. Thomas, Is a rejoiner to the "Confessions of a Quaker" written by Dr. George A. Barton, which was reprinted in The Palladium some weeks ago. By ALLEN C. THOMAS No doubt many readers of The American Friend have read with regret and pain in the "Outlook" of February 6, 1918, the paper entitled "The Confessions of a Quaker" by, George A. Barton, of Bryn Mawr Col lege. It is not surprising that Dr. Barton has resigned his membership with Friends. It is not my purpose to enter into any controversy, but simply to give some historical data to show that Dr. Barton's statement of the "Cornerstone of the Quaker Testimony Against War" is Incorrect. His own words are as follows: "The corner-stone of the defense of the Quaker testimony against War has been the command, 'Thou shalt not kill.' This is taken by them to be a command of universal sweep a command that admits of no exceptions. It is part of the Decalogue. But scholarly research makes it clear I that this Decalogue, was, when given meant for Israelites only." Dr. Barton is imperfectly read in Quaker history or he would know that this statement is not founded on fact. He makes a charge against a body. There are two principal ways of ascertaining the doctrines held by a body: (1) by its official utterances; and (2) by the statmerts of those who are' recognized as leaders or exponents. The writer has given much time to the study of Quaker history and doctrine, and he has failed to come across in any official document a single instance of the use of the words "Thou shalt not kill" as an , argument against war, or even of the use of the idea as a corner-stone. "Natural and Inevitable" It is well-known that at the first the Quakers did not put forth any special testimony against war. Their testimony came as a natural and inevitable development from the principles they embraced. As early as 150, however, George Fox made his oft-quoted statement to the magistrates of Derby who wished him to enter the army: "I told them." he says, "I knew from whence all wars arose, even from the lust, according to James's doctrine: and that I lived In the virtue of that life and power that took away the occasion of all wars." (Journal, Bi-Centennial edition.) This statement, in essence. Fox repeated a number of times. Of a paper he wrote to Oliver Cromwell, he says, "I . . . denied (condemned) the wearing or drawing of a carnal sword or any other outward weapon against him or any man." (Journal. I; 209.) Very soon the Society took the ground from which, officially, It has never moved. In a "Declaration presented to Charles II, in 1660," the fol lowing words occur: "We utterly deny all outward wars and strife, and fighting with outward weapons for any end or under any pretense whatever; this is our testimony to the whole world . . .the Spirit of Christ, which leads us unto all trutn, will never move us to fight and war against any man with outward weapons, neither for the kingdom of Christ nor for the kingdoms of this world." Not Killing but Spirit In the General Epistle, 1854, these words occur: "WTe feel bound explicitly to avow our continued unshaken persuasion that all war is utterly in compatible with the plain precepts of our Divine Lord and Lawgiver, and with the whole spirit and tenor of his Gospel. (Epistles, London, 1857, vol. II; pp. 379, 380.) In 1841 London Yearly Meeting put forth a special paper on "The Unlawfulness of all Wars and Fightings under the Gospel" which is probably the most elaborate exposition of the attitude of Friends in regard to War that has been issued. Another paper was issued in 1854 (Crimean War), another in 1860, another in 1861 (American Civil War), and in 1871 (Franco-Prussian War). In 1900 a special document was published. 'Christianity and War," and still another in 1901. In every one of these official papers the "corner-stone j of the testimony" is that War is contiary to the whole spirit of Christianity, and never once are the words, "Thou shalt not kill" used. Indeed it is not at all the "killing" which is emphasized, but the spirit which is Inseparable from war. In all the many documents Issued subsequently, up to

the present time, the same ground is invariably taken. If the London General Epistles, the Disciples of the various Yearly Meetings, the "Richmond Declaration of Faith," and the "Uniform Discipline" be examined, the same result will be reached. What has been said of official documents can be said of the Journals, and the Writings of leaders and influential writers. George Fox has already been quoted. If the works of William Penn, Robert Barclay, George Whitehead, and others be searched the same conclusion must be come to. Jonathan Dymond, whose Essay on war was long considered a standard statement of

the Quaker view, actually puts those very words, "Thou shalt not kill' aside and says, "War is obviously and most grossly inconsistent with the general character of Christianity." (Essays on Morality, 7th ed. London, 1880, pp. 497, 498.) Dr. Barton's main premise falls to the ground. There is neither space nor wish to go further, except to say that it is impossible for a true Friend to -reconcile warlike measures with the real fundamental principle of Gospel Love, or to believe that War is one -of God's "processes of spiritual regeneration and social evolution" which Dr. Barton seems at least to imply. His method of reasoning and the steps he takes to reach his conclusions are not convincing. Dr. Barton is a Biblical and Oriental scholar of world-wide reputation; he speaks of himself as going to the Scriptures, "to the scientific study of which he had for many years been devoted, "but it is to be doubted whether, if the matter had been on Babylonian tablets, or Assyrian inscriptions he himself would have accepted such exegesis as he gives in this paper, particularly that on Matthew V. 38-48, and Luke IV. 18. Much more could be said to shoe? how inadequately, to say nothing else. Friends are treated.

FORTUNE FOUND IN FRUIT JAR HAOBRSTOWN, Ind., March A fortune in gold nuggets and bonds recently was unearthed In a fruit jar in Hagerstown. At least, that Is the report which has gained wide circulation here, and Attorney B. F. Mason, the only Hagerstown man credited with exact knowledge, refuses to be quoted. "That is not a matter for the newspapers aqd the public," he said when questioned concerning the hidden fortune. The fortune was bidden in a woodshed in the rear of the home of Frank Williams, 83 years old, who died in February In Chicago at the home of his son Paul. Williams, who had been a recluse since the death of his wife 15 years ago, lived on East Main street. It is understood that Williams told his son where the fortune was hidden. Williams also owned a farm near Ha gerstown. His son is his sole heir. The aged man had gone to Call fornia during the gold rush and rumor had it since that time that he had made a rich strike and kept the gold in nuggets. HICKMAN Ida Virginia Hickman, 16 years old, died Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at her home, 419 jNorth Sixteenth street.

Miss Lemen spoke on "Program Planning." "If the program is made attractive the child will appreciate it and will give more careful attention," said the Superintendent. Rev. Elmer B. Davis, of Second Presbyterian church, presided at the morning session. Miss Lemen spoke on "Lesson Preparation." and Burnie on "Objections to Graded Lessons." "I am heartily in favor of the graded lessons and can overrule any objections which you teachers may offer. For real results in the way of religious education the lessons are superior," said Burnie. The closing session will be held at 7:30 o'clock. Mrs. D. W. Comstock Gives Morton's Portrait to Post Mrs. D. W. Comstock, the widow of Judge Comstock. has presented to Sol Meredith post, G. A.

1TI-LAF0LLETTE MEASURE PASSES

MADISON, Wis., March 6 The resolution condemning Senator La Follette was passed by a vote of 53 to 32 in the state assembly this afternoon. The lower house of the legislature held an all-night session without reaching a vote on the resolution to censure Senator Robert M. LaFollette for his attitude toward the war. The loyalist strength shown on a roll call at 2:10 o'clock this morning showed 48 votes, three fewer than required. At 4:55 the weary members again voted on the oft-repeated motion to raise the call. The count was yeas 47; nays, 39; the register showed that Assemblyman Amlenbacher had shifted to the loyalists, but that two of the latter, Engebretson and Kurtenacker, had gone over to the Lafollette side. Another roll call at 7 o'clock left the situation unchanged. A motion by Assemblyman Donnelly for a gentleman's agreement to go out for breakfast also failed, a Socialist member blocking it. Most of the members spent the night on their feet, but many sought anterooms for a nap, or stretching their legs over their desks, slumbered in their chairs. An unrebuked profiteer appeared with a bucket of coffee and a box of sandwiches; disposed of them quickly and sent out for more. Red Cross Notes the Lake Division News, issued for the week of Morch 4, states that all Red Cross shipments are exempt from embargoes by authority of the United States Railroad Administration.

Dr. Edgar Stillman Kelley, holder of the fellowship in musical composition at the Western College for Women, probably thp nniv American college that haB es tablished a fellowship for the purpose of enabling its holder to contriDUie to the world's store of art, has just completed a composition entitled, "The Pilarim's Progress: A Musical Mira cle Play," (opus 37). It will soon be under rehearsal for production next May at the Cincinnati May Festival. The play is a complete musical setting to Elizabeth Hodgkinson's text hased on John Bunvan's "Pilgrim Progress," and is so arranged that it mav he eive.n as a staee production with costumes and scenery, or simply in concert form. Dr. Kellev lone since became fa mous as an orchestral composer. He wrote the music for the stage produc tions of "Ben Hur," and "Macbeth;" also he has written a number of svm phonies.

WAR WILL BLOT OUT STIGMA OF DOLLAR WORSHIP, SAYS S.O. HEAD

LH

Alfred C. Bedford. NEW YORK, March 6. The American will not be known as the dollar worshipper after the war; he will be known as the champion of equality, liberty and freedom. That is the opinion of Alfred C. Bedford, head of the Standard Oil Company by virtue of his position as chairman of its board of directors. In a recent address on the effect the WOMEN'S It is the object of Miss Meb Culbertson, chairman of the women's activi ties of the Wayne County Council of Defense, to present daily reports through The Palladium of what the women connected with the council's work are doing. Today she presents an article on "Preparing Hot Beds" by Mrs. D. W. Scott which follows: A good gardening soil is one which is quick. It warms up early in the spring, must be favorably located and have a suitable soil. A well-drained sandy loam soil sloping to the south is an ideal location for an early garden. Such a location will permit of outdoor planting much sooner than a northern exposure or even level land with a heavy soil. The period of maturity is hastened by having the plants started some time before the weather conditions are favorable for outside plant ing. To get these early plants the seeds are usually sown in hot beds, or boxes in the house. Hot beds may be either temporary or permanent. To build a permanent hot bed with least expense dig a pit about two feet deep, six feet wide and as long as desired, say six or nine feet. Line the excavation with boards, procure fresh horse manure containing some litter, this should be put in the pit in layers and tramped down well until the pit is level full. Make a frame six feet wide and as long as the pit with the front eight inches high and the back twelve inches high, making the slant toward the south. Place the frame over the pit which is already filled with manure, or if short of manure dirt may be used. On top of the manure in the frame place about 4 to 6 inches of garden loam, raked thoroughly. You are nowready to put on the sash, these sash are 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. With a bed 6 feet by 6 feet it will reauire1 two sash. A 2x4-inch strip should be I placed in the frame for every sash, j which will assist in removing and replacing the sash. The bed is now complete, but you must wait until the bed has heated, and the heat begins ! to go down before sowing the seed, j which will probably be in four or five days, sow in rows four to six inches a part, about one-half inch deep, and keep moist but not wet until the plants are up. After the plants are up they will need all the light possible. Whenever moisture collects on the under side of the glass the sash should be raised to admit air for if the beds are kept to close the plants will rot or die with what is known among gardeners as damps. But in very cold weather the sash must not be left up. As the days get warmer the sash can be left partly open. On cold nights the hot beds should be covered with carpet or mat. The temporary hot bed is made in the same manner as the permanent form except that no pit is dug. The fermenting manure is piled on top of theg round and the frame set on it. Then the soil is placed inside and after that the management is the same. Those who do not have hot beds can start their early plants in seed boxes in the house.

war would have on business and oik success in business generally Bedford praised the spirit of business men who have shown themselves patriotic to an extreme in the war work of the nation! "The great body of the business tt?n of the country," said Bedford, "are not only honest, but patriotic. They are doing business in the spirit of th times. "The action of the United States sji the war will change the reputation which the country has abroad, and lastead of being known in the future h the 'Almighty Dollar Worshipper,' the American will come to be known -f the man who stands for equality, libs erty and freedom." 7 Bedford's conclusion was that th Bible is the best guide for conduct, aod he offered these success axiomc: Success in business and the accurate lation of wealth come through character and developed talent. Honor, honesty and respect for tit law must be the basic rules if succea. is to be attained. Business, if conducted in the spirit of the times. Is not only honest trt patriotic. Business run in a manner other tter3 one that is fair and honorable will lo,e in the long run. ' , Avoid three kinds of acts: Tho.e that are dishonorable though not dishonest, those dishonorable and dishonest though not illegal, those dishonorable, dishonest and illegal. Cultivate three qualities: Fine sentiment of honor, practice of the prtrv ciples of honesty, show strict observance of the law. Three factors in competition should be: Sympathy, mercy, justice.

WAR WORK Any sort of a wooden box filled with good soil answers the purpose. A convenient size is 20 to 24 inches lonK by 12 to 14 inches wide and 3 to 4 inches deep . A layer of small gravel or cinders should be placed in the bottom of the box to afford drainage, then the box should be filled nearly full of rich garden soil, or soil enriched with decayed deaves or manurePress the soil dftwn firmly with small piece of board and rows mad one-fourth to one-half inch deep and two inches apart crosswise of the bos Sow the seed in these rows and lightly cover, the soil watered and the box set in a warm place in the light.
