Excerpt from I Have Called You Friends: The Story of Quakerism in North CarolinaThe test of any teacher is: Has he acquainted his students with the subject taught? In like manner the criterion by which any organization should be judged is: What has it done for its adherents? The writer has now passed the patriarchal age of four-score and has been associated with the Society of Friends all his life. The challenge must be met. What has fellowship with the Quakers accomplished? George Fox said he was not satisfied with being a Seeker he wanted to be a Finder. It is only because I am conscious of having become a Finder that this book has come into being. Fellowship with Friends has brought me into fellowship with the Eternal Christ, and that fellowship has developed for me purpose and accomplishment, it has set an objective and a pat tern. My father passed ou when I was twelve and circumstances compelled me to quit school and go to work, I was thirty before unexpectedly college doors opened before me. Since then I have been associated with colleges and universities for more than forty years. For this I am gratefully indebted to the Society of Friends. They have indeed been Friends, and I am conscious that the foun dation of that Friendship is the Fellowship of the Spirit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
