BUSINESS DEMOCRACY
ADVOCATED IN TALK
At FRIENDS SESSION

Democracy in business was advo-
Gated by Alva w. Taylor. of Cincin-
natl. addressing the Hicksite Friends
conference Monday afternoon, on
christian Ideals in Industry"
Worth of personality in business.
and the necessity of recognizing the
brotherhood of man were two CT the
main points stressed by the speaker.
Personality and the sacredness of
human life are factors which must
be considered. The man who invests
his life in factory near his home
should have as much to say about the
conditions surrounding his work as
the man who invests his capital, and
who lives a thousand miles away
Morning sessions of the conference
were devoted to round table discus
sions of educational matters.
Freedom Must Be Curbed
Unless the exaggerated freedom pre-
dominating in the modern phase of
life is curbed, the future man and
woman will not be of the sturdy faith
so often found in the phase of life
incident to the days of the puritans,
William ]. Reagan, principal OF Oak
wood school, Poughkeepsie, N Y, de-
clared before meeting of young
Friends, Sunday afternoon.
While not pleading for a return to
the practices of the early worshipers,
Mr. Reagan pointed out the qualities
in those early lives which seem most
necessary today.
The subject, 1.-The High Road, was
discussed first by Mr. Reagan, and
then by other young Friends in the
| following order:
/ Alan c. Valentine, graduate of
Swarthmore college, whose home is
in Glen Cove, L. l.; Grace T. Warren,
| secretary of New York Yearly Meet
/ ing, and Bliss Forbush, of Baltimore.
! Each speaker stressed particular
/ fact for one to consider in following
''The High Road"
Worship Neened
ut seems to me the new higl road
of life will have a determination to
worship. A most significant desire
for it." Mr.. Reagan said Il think
prayer is difficult, but it is as signif
| cant as it is difficult. The need of the
hour is for worship
Alan c. Valentine defined the es
sence of true Quakerism as being
based or the fundamental principle
that the faith declares its belief in
the sovereignty of the individual
Having the vision of the goal at the
end of the high road, and the determi
nation to pass by attractive spots
reckoning for one to leave the higl
road to spend pleasurable moments of
the highway, was urged upon all
young friends by Grace T. Warren
THE High Road" is the road of pur
pose, and you do not need grea
: equipment to make the journey. AL
can travel the way for it is one O
democracy. Great education is not ;
fundamental in the spiritual realm
Education is an advantage but truti
is the basis of science Our equip
ment is in ourselves. We must hav,
endurance, purpose and loyalty"
Take Stock of Road.
> Taking stock of the wonders on tn
> high road of life, knowing about al
> things transpiring, and not only thos,
! occurring closes to one, formed tn
main theme of the talk by Bliss For
; bush.
IF we live on the high road of lif
we must interest ourselves in all tn
great movements and purposes. w
must be interested in all things help
ing to make more noble our human
race. On this great highroad we some
!, times have moments of great exalta
ton when we see God, and yet we tur,
away for the road looks long. w
must appraise at their value thos
, things which we observe
