QUAKERS FACING GREATEST TEST OF FAITH NOW

Dr. Woodward Urges Young! Friends to Support Ideals of President. j Never before has Quakerism undergone such travail, both within and without." said Walter C. Woodward, secretary of the Friends Five Years meeting. In his address that opened the annual convention of the Young Friends at Earlham hall Friday night. Dr. Woodward spoke on "The Lure of the Impossible." "The very times themselves bear own upon the citadel of our faith," he continued, "In these fiery trials some of us have adapted ourselves for a season to the teeming restlessness of events. Others are holding fast to what to them are eternal principles In which there is neither variableness nor turning, and are enduring thereby misunderstanding and even persecution. "As a body we had been sailing along on the sea of possibility and plausibility. The storm came. Shall we scuttle the ship amid the din that shouts, 'Impossible?'

"It appeals to me the background

and problem of this Young Friends

those of the conference one year ago.

ly upon us. We got our bearings, made our vows and attempted to chart i our course. In the year that has l gone many of us have passed through the fire. "We need, furthermore, the cour,age, the faith of a minority even though it be a minority misunderstood and maligned. The real history of the world has been MADE by minorities. "Listen! Do you ever stop to consider the significance of the fact that we crucify the man of today for the very same thing for which we all but deify the makers of history? Think on theBe things when the heart falters and you would fain say, 'The odds are too great, the pressure too strong.' Some of us are over-anxious for the public esteem. We are Jealous for the honor and good repute of Quakerism, and proud of the good name it has borne. But, whence came this good name? By compromise and conformity with public opinion? We know the opposite to be true. Largely because EARLY Friends dared to be unpopular and dishonored has modern Quakerism been honored. In the clarion words of another and may they be ours 'Quakerism if native to high pressure; it must never play for safety. We shall not choose the path of plodding imitation nor popularity's primrose way.'

"If the world ever needed the true Quaker message it needs it now. I could hot be misunderstood. I would not have us in the role of political obstructionists. Our president has voiced an idealism which stirs our admiration and enlists our hearty support to the very limit of our ability to co-operate, in the light of the truth that has been given us. But, how many of his most ardent supporters really appreciate the implications of his idealism, really appreciate how much more it includes than the program of ending this war? "young Friends! It is the gentus of youth to dare the Impossible. Quakerism is The Message of the Impossible. When it ceases to be that, when it becomes merely a religion of adaptability to public sentiment and to material considerations, it ceases to be Quakerism, and It ceases to be Christianity. If Quakerism has a message to voice it is yours to declare it. If it has a service to render, a life to live, yours is the great commission to render that service, to live that life. "We are inclined to be too complacent over the objective service which we are doing abroad through our young men. In fact, we are engaged in an objective service with too weak a subjective base. Let me confide in you the gist of a startling message." Chance For Service. "In that remarkable contribution in 'The World Tomorrow,' entitled 'My Dear Stevenson,' Norman Thomas makes it startlingly clear that President Wilson, the one liberal statesman to whom the world now looks, has no liberal spokesmen at home to interpret his ideals to his own people. We have beeii unable to see more in his pronouncements than a liberal program for the re-establishment of

international relationships. If we mistake not it involves an almost revolutionary readjustment of the whole social and industrial system in terms of the very principles of good will for which Friends stand. "Here certainly is a wonderful opportunity on our part for a vital service to our beloved country. And this is a service upon which English Friends have already entered with much more serious devotion. Are we ready to Join them in a similar service for America?"

"Take a dozen or 60 German spies

now Indulging In the rest cure In gov-

ernment Internment camps, put tnem up against a brick wall and shoot them, and you'll find less industrial fires . in this . country," . said Private Douglas Drew, a Canadian soldier, who was a guest in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roecoe Kirkman last evening. Mr. Drew Is connected with Mr. Kirkman, as lecturer for the National Service section of the United States Shipping board, with headquarters in St. Louis. The soldier has seen active service in France, having enlisted when he was 19 years of age. He was in action In the northern part of France around Mt. Campbell, Selper and places now held by the Germans. He was very Berlously wounded in the fighting In Flanders, and spent thirteen months in an English hospital. He wears a watch charm made from three pieces of high power explosive taken from his wound. A year ago last October, Private Drew had the "exquisite pleasure," as he expressed It, of seeing three Zeppelins grounded In England. These were the last to attempt any destruction over English towns. In regard to the air raids over England he continued. "The English stood these terrible assaults for two years," he said, "and then came a sudden hatred, a fierce cry for reprisals. Immediately the Germans began to whimper and ask for their raids over

England to be discontinued, and their

government was later forced to com

ply." Drew said he did not believe Von Hlndenburg was dead, but that he did not know what the German 6cheme was. "The Irish question is one of the most vital confronting England," Drew said. "Personally I cannot but have sympathy for the Irish as a whole, for I believe they have been and are being pushed night and day by the strongest propaganda that Germany can put forth. Many Irishmen are without a doubt the most loyal lighters the allies have." To show the training and discipline In the allied armies, the Canadian told of a German prisoner who spit in the face of a guard In the camp prison. The guard hit the German with the butt of his gun. Drew said, and got 28 days In the guard house for mistreating a prisoner. When an American asks Mr. Drew how he feels about the Revolutionary War, he laughs and says that it was simply a German affair and no real Englishman, or Canadian ever thinks of It. King George, who lived in Germany most of his life, caused the trouble, the soldier points out. "I figure that the allies will never be fighting In Germany," Drew stated, "but I also believe that they will march into Germany as victors. The war will not be over for two or three years, though, In my opinion."

Getting Ready for Boches Is Strenuous Ocupation, Says Richmond Prosecutor Following are excerpts from a letter received from Frank Strayer, former prosecuting attorney lor Wayne county, and now In the officers' training camp near Philadelphia: "We are drilling until we are blue in the face, and then they drill us some more to bring back the natural color. After that we go and do something else. "I am glad that I was keen enough to realize that the service was nothing easy. " Most of the men thought that because they were officers they could sit around and look wise, but they have found out from experience that the service Is a bard grind. "My captain said I was easy to pick up drilling and that he thought I would make a good drill master If I cared to follow It. But no thanks. When the war is over I Intend to check out and come back home. "Our camp Is composed of business men from all walks of life. I will be

here about three weeks longer and will then prabably go 'over there.' " I
