what have already said to individual
Friends, that the transfer OF the men,
bership Of my family and self to the
First Congregational church at Oak
Park because OF our inaccessibility to
volve the surrender of any Friends
principles nor the espousal OF any ad-
ditional ones. The transfer was made
exactly as il 1t had been from one
Friends Meeting to another. In this
local church there are now former
representatives of no less than twenty
different denominations. One enjoys
the same rights of individual judy
ment and the same privilege OF Dr.
vine guidance as in any genuinely
Friends melting.
IF, therefore, there is any lessening
of our fellowship with Friends, except
such as is made necessary by our resi-
dence beyond the range of Friends
Meeting and the nature of my present
work. it will be a matter of regret to
us. My membership in local Congre-
gational church, with its unexampled
equipment for service in the work for
the Kingdom, as well as my daily at
filiation with the work Of other great
evangelical churches, will enable me to
make larger rather than a smaller
contribution to the work of Friends.
1t is heartening, indeed, to see the
readiness and eagerness with which
most Friends are cooperating in the
plans now being put in operation in
the effort to bring to practical reali-
cation at the earliest possible moment
the prayer Of our Lord that they all
may be one
Very sincerely,
