FRIENDS
DISCUSS The
CIGARETTE

The Concord Quarterly Meeting of
the Society of Friends is in session
today in the Friends Meeting House,
at West and Fifth streets. AT the
morning session after the religious
hour, the first five of the queries were
answered by the Monthly Meetings IN
cluded in the Concord Quarterly
Meeting, which are Wilmington, Ches-
ter. Darby, Birmingham, Swarthmore.
Concord. Goshen. Lansdowne, and
Orange Grove, pasadena, CALI Al
ter each series of answers the sum
mary answer TO be given to Philadel-
phia Yearly Meeting from the Con-
cord Quarterly Meeting was deter-
mined upon. Morgan Bunting and
Miss Alice G. NJ. Sellers were the
clerks.
There was large attendance this
morning At the afternoon session.
the representatives from the Concord
Quarterly Meeting to Philadelphia
Yearly Meeting will be elected. At
noon, lunch was served 10 tho mem
bers Of the Meeting in the gymnasium
of Friends School The pupils of
the school we're given the day as a
holiday.
The question Of cigarette smoking
at the Wilmington High School came
up at the meeting this morning in
connection with the query regarding
the faithfulness of the Friends in
discountenaneing intoxicants. Thomas
Steward said he lived near the High
School and felt great concern over
the prevalence of the cigarettes. He
said that some time ago. when there
was a public agitation Of the matter.
the smoking decreased a large per
cent. but was increasing again. He
said that the many open tobacco
stores where boys may buy cigarettes
might lead them into worse condi-
tions
The query in reference to study Of
the scriptures, led several members
TO urge regular home reading Of the
Bible, though some felt that the Old
Testament needed to be read with cir
cumspection to children
The third query asked whether the
Friends had maintained a faithful
testimony to a free Gospel minis
try. The membe. wondered whether
they could say an unqualified yes,
when it was well known that many of
them sometimes visited other
churches and contributed to the col
lections in them. Several expressed
the sentiment that the fact that these
ministers were paid did not make .he
visiting Friends violate the spirit OF
the query. as it seemed to them the
free" referred TO freedom of the
spirit.
