Pharisees fell under the Judgement of Christ. “He is a sign”, goes on Simeon, “which
shall be spoken against,” and we remember how soon it happened that the

THE REV. E. S. WILLIAMS JOINS FRIENDS
CHURCH
QUAKER MEETING AT COLLEGE
PARK RICH IN SPIRITUAL THINGS, SAYS PREACHER.
Originator of
“Blossom Festival” Thinks Their Spirit is Sign of the Times
Saratoga,
Nov. 8, 1911
Dear
Christian Friends: I want to thank
the little company at College Park who
have refreshed me with their fellowship in their special meeting and now,
without putting any new or hard vows upon me, have let me become one of
them. In my early schooldays I was
associated with lovely Quakers, so that the friendly “thee” and
“Thou” came easily to my lips. In the strenuous life of booming Minneapolis I found quiet and strength for my soul in the little
church on Eighth street and Hennepin Avenue. Sturdy John
Douglas and glowing and flashing David Updegraff gave great impulse to my
struggling and growing flock and led many to new light holy aspiration.
But
is was in the plain little house of God on Morse street near Davis in
College Park that I learned a
Christian brother might put his name on the list without relating any other
righteous bonds which are dear and useful. No special form of baptism. No new creed.
No new pledge of money.
“If thee will come here when the Good Spirit of God moves thee and
when so moved by the Spirit speak or pray, thee may join.” What a simple step out of an
unsatisfying world into a warm sincere fellowship. If I am worth anything in
the corner of the pew where I worship in beautiful Saratoga the experience of
the holy quiet and high inspiration of the Friends’ House in College
Park adds to it. Last seventh day of 11th month was a gem among these perfect
God-given days. God’s beauty
was in the sky and air, on hills and rocks and trees. His peace shone in the faces of the assembling company. A Divine Master’s touch gave a
real warmth to human handclasps and greetings. We seemed almost reluctant as school children to go inside,
but we did. And felt, too, the beauty of the Lord our God upon us. How good it was just to be quiet a
little while. No telephone, No
squawk and rush of AutoMobile. No
peal of organ. We sat down and
were still. Heaven had a chance at
hearts and minds. How restful it was in this day of strenuous pushing,
clamorous noisy life. But it was
not monotonous. When we were ready a gifted woman quoted a suggestive
poem—enlarging and commenting as she went on. A devout Stanford professor
followed later when we had time to consider the poet’s’ message.
His
was not mediaeval but modern thought and impulse. A venerable preacher gave us a rich exposition. A brother breathed a heartfelt prayer. Then a bright women told of help given
the Good Cheer Club---of doubled offerings beyond last year. We were told of the Girls School in
Syria which fills that region with its inspiring stories of new safety for
girls and higher ideals for women:
of the hospital in Japan which the Friends cherish, feeling it better
work than building Dreadnaughts to kill man guilty only of having a color like
unto Him who loved men in the Holy Land.
There
were earnest prayers for James Bean,
the beloved Secretary of the San Jose pastors’ meeting, who is sick in
Indiana.
The
morning sped on and we were called outdoors to the joy of a social lunch. It was simply delicious—simple
and delicious—not overdone but satisfying. The grace was quiet but real. How delightful these little variations are among God’s
children if we will only enjoy liberty and not criticize. The lunch was a “love
feast,” for the Spirit of Love was there and the charitable committee
appointed by the meeting found cordial response to their appeals. I love Methodists and am at home in
their meetings, but I think these College Park Friends can equal them in warm handshakes and cordiality
to strangers.
The
afternoon service began with a recitation all together of John’s rich
words, “Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us that
we should be called the sons of God.” Then the happy company went on behaving like a King’s
glad children. A bright lassie
recited “A Quaker of the Olden Time”. We heard the exquisite story of a veteran preacher’s
journey East and it would honor any Christian magazine to which it was
commended. (Joel Bean’s recent trip??) A
bereaved Friend in good and tender taste read a feeling tribute to his sainted
wife and there were liquid diamonds in other eyes besides his, for many loved
her. We heard the interesting
story of the 250th anniversary of
Quaker meetings in New England.
There were no shadows, no breaks, no false notes. The Spirit of Peace, Harmony, Love, who
was sincerely evoked, led that happy meeting and this privileged scribe
realizes anew how easy it is for the King’s children to have a feast
compared with which the labored banquets of the world are a heavy burden.
Our
community has many sincere souls who are praying for the unity of the church of
the Living God. Platform speeches
at conventions are full of it.
Religious magazines and papers print columns about it. This little flock I tell of so gladly seem
to have it. {{The President is
a member of the Episcopal Church}} ( the [[ ]] placed by Joel Bean. Not true!)
There are certainly three Congregationalists there, one of them a teacher who
is well known in our favored county.
(J. Fred Smith of Campbell??
Tk.) Several joined on the broad Christian
basis offered.
If
there be a deeply hungry-hearted stranger who reads my words I feel sure such
an one might find a broad yet simple and satisfactory fellowship if he sought
it among these, who study and wait in quiet for the leading of the Spirit of
God.
Why
must we wait for Billy Sunday to come and break up our formality? It seems to me every church of Christ
might hold some union sessions.
Doubled-up prayer are delightful.
A few union services on Thanksgiving are not enough. It is a great means of glad and genuine
grace for Christians to eat together.
May all the true churches of our Lord be willing to learn from the Friends
in College Park who are friends
of God and man.
