Quakers seek relief on affirmation.<br/> <br/> In 1696 after experiencing decades of exclusion and imprisonment for conscientiously refusing to take loyalty and court oaths Quakers were granted the right by Parliament to take a "solemn affirmation" in legal situations in place of an actual oath. Over the next two decades numerous Quakers objected to the invocation of God's name in the official affirmation and refused it as they had the oath. In 1715 a bill was under consideration in Parliament to renew indefinitely the Quakers' right to the affirmation. The Quaker authors of the present petition support the bill but ask that it be amended with a revised affirmation that does not include the name of God.

He moved to the area that became Kansas City Missouri about 1854 where he was a director of a railroad partner in a bank and a real estate investor. He developed the bluffs on the west side the area that became known as "Quality Hill". During the civil war he was with a Pennsylvania unit of the Union Army. Union troops in Kansas City stabled their horses in what was the foundation of the coming Coates House Hotel that had been boarded over. His hotel opened about 1868.

19544307Philadelphia 1954. About very good. Thirty-five printed and typescript items approximately 150pp. total. Some staples old folds. Scattered contemporary ink stamps. Light toning and minor wear heavier in places. Scattered chipping and occasional short edge tears. A fascinating and scarce group of newsletters pamphlets and ephemera published by the American Friends Service Committee during and after World War II comprising thirty-five printed and typescript items. The Committee administered roughly one third of the camps in the Civilian Public Service system which was established to provide a means of non-military service to religious conscientious objectors during the war and also played a significant role in the anti-draft anti-conscription movement. The first group of material present here includes seven issues of the Civilian Public Service Friends Newsletter. These provide a detailed contemporary account of the overall state of the camps including camp populations incoming "campers" camp openings and closures and the financial situation. The newsletters also include news relating to the administration of the camps and developments regarding their operation and the activities of the interned objectors. Included as well are a promotional report issued on the two-year anniversary of the Service's inception and an elaborate four-page solicitation for donations to the CPS both also issued by the American Friends Service Committee. The issues of the newsletters present are: No. 5 October 30th 1942; No. 6 December 21 1942; No. 8 February 25 1943; No. 9 March 15 1943; No. 10 April 21 1943; No. 12 July 12 1943; No. 13 August 23 1943. A substantial run of a scarce and short-lived newsletter. We locate individually catalogued groups of these reports only at Bethel College and the University of Oregon and not in the Swarthmore Peace Collection.<br /> <br /> A second group of newsletters contains three issues of a weekly periodical Information and eleven issues of its monthly offshoot Information Digest dating December 1943 to July 1945 with two issues from later in 1946. These issues document the administration process of the CPS camps and contain reports on various facets of their operation including finances fundraising working and social conditions religious life and legal issues. Amongst these are reports on internal efforts and negotiations to fund the camps both within the Society of Friends and in partnership with other pacifist religious sects such as the Mennonites who were involved in camp operations. The December 2 1943 issue of Information for example contains a detailed narrative of the negotiation to fund the camps in 1944. The newsletters also contain a wealth of information on developments initiatives and daily life at the camps which include some particularly interesting reports on mental health among internees and on civil rights as the issue related to conscientious objectors but also to racial equality in the United States during the war era. OCLC locates holdings of this periodical at just a small handful of institutions.<br /> <br /> The third group of material comprises four scarce typed reports prepared and distributed by the AFSC during the war regarding the rights of conscientious objectors and their status. Three of the reports address the Selective Service Act and continued amendments thereto concentrating on the portions of the law that applied to religious objectors to military service and changes that affected objectors during the early years of the war. The first these issued in March 1942 first outlines the changes made to the draft law during December 1941 in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war on the Axis powers and then provides an extensive step-by-step procedure for the application process to become a conscientious objector. Two further lengthy "memoranda" explain the rights of conscientious objectors as of December 1942 and March 1943 when each report was produced and gives advice for completing the objector application as well as for preparing supplementary documents and written statements. The other report in this group dated September 1941 gives an outline of the finances and disposition of the Civilian Public Service the system of labor camps for conscientious objectors on the eve of the war including lists of camps already in operation their capacities and statistical charts of objectors already registered and camp populations and assignments. These reports are quite striking as first-hand evidence of the role played by the Society of Friends administration in counseling their members to become conscientious objectors.<br /> <br /> Finally there is an interesting group of Quaker anti-conscription ephemera from World War II consisting of nine pamphlets that outline the pacifist views of the Society of Friends and the reasons behind them. The works go on to detail how these beliefs necessitate the Quakers' refusal to be conscripted into the American armed forces and defend this stance. Two pamphlets deal specifically with the opposition to peacetime conscription which became a political issue towards the end of the war. The individual titles are as follows:<br /> <br /> 1 "Why They Cannot Go to War." Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee 1940.<br /> 2 "Why We Oppose Conscription." Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee 1941.<br /> 3 "United States of America vs. Arle Brooks." Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee 1941. Two copies.<br /> 4 Royden A. Maude.

1871List3241Rhode Island Massachusetts and New York 1871. Thirty-two letters two apparently missing final pages; with fifteen pages of incomplete letter material. Excellent to Near Fine. Letters from some of the young ladies of the Hazard family primarily Gertrude Minturn 1843–1877 Anna Peace 1845–1868 and Esther Robinson 1848–d. Hazard with some from other family and friends. The family was descended from Thomas Hazard one of the founding settlers of Newport Rhode Island.1<br /> <br /> The girls were educated and often write from school; Anna and Esther attend the ‘Friends School’ in Providence which is probably the Moses Brown School and Gertrude attends Dr. Dio Lewis’s School for Young Ladies in Lexington Massachusetts. Founded by Diocletian Lewis a temperance and physical culture advocate the school incorporated his exercise system developed to condition weaker individuals. Gertrude describes a regimen of thirty minutes of walking plus an hour and a half of exercise and discusses Dr. Lewis:<br /> <br /> “Dr Lewis gives familiar lectures on any subject which the scholars propose. He is a very pleasant genial man and takes part in the games & dancing with the greatest spirit. There are about 20 scholars. Some of them board in the village but are subject to the rules of the school. This building is very large and is mostly occupied by the patients of Dr Lewis’ ‘Movement Cures’ to whom most of his time is devoted. The scholars and patients associate together. Indeed we are under very little constraint the teachers leaving our actions to be regulated by our own sense of propriety; and they seldom find occasion to reprove the scholars for misdemeanors.†November 23 1864<br /> <br /> Meanwhile Anna and Esther’s education is more on the religious side; Esther writes:<br /> <br /> “We have not been to meeting very often since we returned from our lovely visit to Newport but the first Sunday morning I did think all the time of it as I said I was going to. We were edified this morning by a sermon from Elizabeth Meader or rather a torrent of noise so that I am nearly deafened now. I don’t think I ever heard a more horrible combination of sounds from the mouth of any human being.†January 8 1865<br /> <br /> Though speaking in tongues is most strongly associated with Pentecostalism it is not unheard of in Quakerism. In his book of genealogy and reflections the girls’ father Thomas Hazard 1797–1886 connects the family’s “strong religious tendencies†to his own interest in spiritualism.2 This interest in mediumship comes up several times in the letters first in 1864 when one of the girls reports that “Pa writes us that at a circle which he attended a few days ago a clairvoyant medium described our house at Vaucluse perfectly†February 24 1864 and later when one of the girls attends a circle with their father in Philadelphia:<br /> <br /> “Yesterday morning Pa & I had a sitting with a Mrs. Robinson a trance speaking medium. The communication from mother was the most beautiful I ever heard. She spoke to us just as she used to on earth using the same expressions. It seemed as if I could almost see her – we are going again on Monday.†February 8 1867<br /> <br /> That is the pair spoke to Frances Minturn Hazard who had died in 1854.<br /> <br /> Of interest to researchers of the Hazard family and Rhode Island Quakers.<br /> <br /> 1 Caroline Elizabeth Robinson The Hazard Family of Rhode Island 1635–1894 Printed for the Author 1896.<br /> 2 Thomas R.

"In 1827 Walker joined the Society of Friends, his diaries contain extracts of his remarkable journeys with James Backhouse, visiting the convict settlements in Van Dieman's Land, South Wales (including, at that time, Moreton Bay), and Norfolk Island. His wife was a member of Lady Franklin's committee to visit the female prisoners. In 1843 he was appointed to a board of inquiry into conditions at the Female Factory, built by Lieutenant-Governor Arthur in 1827 in accord with Elizabeth Fry's recommendations. Worried over the growing number of prostitutes, he formed a committee to 'suppress vice' by finding employment for destitute women. In 1848 Lieutenant-Governor Denison asked him to share in the task of providing an asylum for these women, and noted in his journal: 'the very personification of a mild, benevolent, and excellent Quaker' A respected founder with Backhouse of the Society of Friends in Hobart, Walker was always ready to plead for any convict under punishment by solitary confinement or treadmill for refusing in Quaker custom to remove his hat in respect to authority, to explain to judges the Quaker aversion to oaths, or to reason against state aid to religion. Although unable to repeat his missionary journeys, he managed to visit Friends around the island and encouraged others to travel 'in the ministry' to help new Meetings on the mainland". - Australian Dictionary of Biography.
