Quaker Research in Progress or Unpublished

QUAKER RESEARCH IN PROGRESS33 versatile and many-sided man of his age,—deeply religious, wholeheartedly devoted to fundamental Quaker faith and practice, yet a courtier and a kindly gentleman withal, generous, unworldly, large-hearted, human in his personal relations, unique in history as the proprietor of a great state, freely his to develop as a Holy Experiment in carrying out his rich conception of a Christian philosophy. Truly Friends have this year a great opportunity in remembering William Penn. As Richard R. Wood, Secretary of the Philadelphia Friends' Committee, stated in his recent thoughtful article in the Friend (vol. 117, p. 293: March 16, 1944): "Every Friends' meeting in the United States might well have its own Tercentenary program , and would probably find its neighbors in the community interested to take part. Every Quaker school and college will naturally have programs, in assembly, in class-room, and in debates and other extra-curricular activities. "Every Quaker activity should find observance of the Tercentenary helpful to its program ... [in presenting] some of the truths that are needed by the world today." Stanley R. Yarnall QUAKER RESEARCH IN PROGRESS OR UNPUBLISHED THE following list of present or récent studies in Quakerism continues the series of such notices appearing from time to time in the Bulletin.
