FRIENDS JOURNAL October 1, 1970 511 William Bacon Evans: Laughter, Worship, Humility by Joaephine M. Benton

WILLIAM BACON EVANS first visited US in 1940. He and Howard Elkinton had been traveling to Civilian Public Service Camps to minister to conscientious objectors. When William Bacon Evans, in his broad-brimmed hat and collarless coat, stepped out of the car, I knew I was welcoming an authentic Quaker. (On another occasion, when he sat with an arrow through his head-or so it appeared-and peddled his handicraft on the boardwalks of Cape May during the Friends General Conference, it seemed to me he was akin to St. Francis of Assissi, who was ever willing to be considered a fool for Christ.) At the dinner table we asked William Bacon Evans what he would like to eat. He replied, "A little of every­ thing, but not too much of anything." He ate what was set before him but never took seconds. In the afternoon, he taught our children to cup their hands and whistle through them and to perform sleight-of­ hand tricks, and he told them jokes and riddles. Photograph by Theodore B. Hetzel At bedtime, when we showed him the way upstairs to William Bacon Evans his room, my husband, with great pride, pointed out our After such embarrassment, William Bacon Evans put shelves of Quaker books.
