(Continued to back page.)
Vacation days of necessity bring
added interest and viewpoints or emphasize old ones, setting forth anew
the unity in variety, the e pluribus
uiuim of life. The good of such vacation days one would fain share with
friends and neighbors. It is such a
sharing that is here attempted.
It was the privilege of myself and
family to attend for Ave days a Conference of Young Friends h -Id upon
beautiful Earlham College Campus at
Richmond, Indiana. From day to day
we broke bread in company with 300
young folk gathered from vurious
parts of the United States and Canada, from Cap Cod n*y to the. Golden
Gate, including nine from England and
one from Germany, besides a number
from the States who had spent no little time In Europe ministering to
needy folk in Franco, Austria, Germany and Russia, and others who had
seen servlco in the Orient. A common
purpose had drawn this group together
—the desire to share and deepen such
experience of God In Christ as had
come to the souls of each and all, and
a purpose to try to learn better how
to live that experience among men,
how in humble fashion to share the
experience of God with other men, no
matter what their race or condition,
whether they be close home or far
away.
It was a gathering of Youth In
search for reality, nnd so akin to the
Youth Movements in Europe. For example Dr. Hertha Kraus, of Cologn,
brought greetings from the Youth
Movement In Germany. Such a Movement had started in Germany before
the War. If It could have prevailed,
Germany would have led the world In
peace instead of in war. For the
Movement is at heart spiritual and religious. It preaches the doctrine of
goodwill Instead of bate, goodwill even
ut one's enemies. It teaches that the
only true life Is the moral life. And
k.) the movement is essentially antl-
nillltarist, anti-alcohol, antlfnicotine,
but positively pro-goodwill. Similar
Movements huve sprung up independently and more or less simultaneously In Hollund, Denmark, England, and
oilier countries of Europe. It would
seem that America ought to lead the
world in such an adventure into the
soul of goodwll'. Though England Is
outstripping us here, we have made a
start—the annual Conference of
Young Friends, the Fellowship of Reconciliation group (holding Its retreat at Belmar, N. J. In Sept.), and
the Student Forum movement are
p.erininul beginnings.
