jeremiah Haines and family entertained
Elizabeth Powell Bond during her stay
/ here.
Dean Bonds talk before the Young
Friends Association on seyenth-day evening
was most enjoyable. While her theme was
The Friends Summer School at Woodbrook,
near Birmingham, Eng, she also touched
on social and economic questions The
School was devoted chiefly to the study of
the Old and New Testament, Church His
tory, and the modern study of Psychology.
Lectures were given by Professors from
American institutions of learning, Haver-
ford College, Bryn Manor College, Harvard
University and Leland Stamford University.
She found the English people felt an es-
peclal interest in any part of the program
specifically American, just as we are es-
pecially interested in English lecturers who
come to us. The speaker found among
English Friends free and full expression
of spiritual life with the general belief that
deed not creed is to carry the world onward
and upward One of the manifestations of
this spirit by English Friends is found in
the Adult Schools established in large num-
bers throughout manufacturing districts.
These are well attended and many give the
greater part of First days to this work
Three great chocolate firms of England,
Roundtrees, Cadburys and Frys, are
Friends and started the manufacture of
chocolate in the hope that they might be
able in some degree to offset the large con-
sumption of brewery products These firms
have been eminently successful from bust
ness standpoint, their employees being
happy and prosperous as we'll. The Round
tree industries are at York, twenty three
organizations are maintained by their en-
ployees for improvement and diversion. The
allotment gardens are an important factor,
the families working in them during the
long twilight which lasts until ten o'clock.
In the Fall exhibitions are held of the
flowers and vegetables raised. Bonneville
is the home of the Cadbury chocolate in
dustry. There each cottage has an indi-
viduaIity of its own and a plot Of ground,
no saloons in the place, but fine athletic
grounds, gymnasiums, libraries, public
squares, ETC., contribute to the enjoyment
and development of the people. All these
enterprises are conducted on business
basis with no tinge of charity A sense of
stewardship seems to be continually the
controlling spirit of those who have it in
their power to help the masses.
