He Gained His Point
During the Civil War the Friends,
because of their peaceful creed, en-
quirements of the draft. They were
always reasonable and quiet in their
earnestness. and seldom failed to gain
Anecdotes of the Civil War" tells
this story of Isaac Newton, the Friend
who was commissioner of the Depart
ment of Agriculture:
Speaking once of scruples abou {
fighting, asked him if he believed it
necessary to carry out the exact let
ter of the Scripture, and under no cir
cumstances to resist
''Oh, no." said he. There are other
ways of resisting besides fighting"
Then he told the story of having
met a man in a wagon at a narrow
part of the road, who, seeing that he
was a Friend, refused to turn out for
him, but stopped directly in the mid
die of the road.
Isaac asked him kindly to turn out.
but the man gruffiy refused. Then
Isaac said, Friend, if thou wilt not
turn thy horse, 1 will turn him for
thee" So he took the horses head to
turn him. Then the man jumped out
and ran forward, as if to attack him.
On this, Isaac seized him by the
arms above the elbow, held him as if
in wise, and quietly said, Friend,
if thou dost resist, 1 shall shake
theei"
So he gave him preliminary shake
as sample, and the man. seeing how
powerful and resolute he was, apol-
ogized, and turned his horse as far
out as he could.
''I did not strike him. said Isaac.
