Quaker Relief Work Mentioned In Reader Letter
A reader argues for the Quakers to be understood amid criticism, praising their stance on arbitration and nonviolence. It cites a conscientious objector who refused to kill in wartime and joined humanitarian efforts in France with the American Friends Service Committee. The piece notes the Quakers’ collaboration with the Red Cross and their funded relief output, totaling about $230,000 in late 1910s efforts. Varna notes, local society items, and oblique community updates follow.
