Our Quaker Friends of Ye Olden Time; Being in Part a Transcript of The / OUR Quaker Friends OF YE OLDEN TIME BEING IN PART A TRANSCRIPT OF THE MINUTE BOOKS OF CEDAR CREEK MEETING, HANOVER COUNTY, AND THE SOUTH RIVER MEETING, CAMPBELL COUNTY, VA. J. P. BELL COMPANY, Publishers, LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA. 1905 \ JUL 19 lyub I o O G i /7^2 Copyright, 1905, ^ JAMES PINKNEY BELL. PUBLISHER'S NOTICE. My maternal ancestors, the TeiTell family, were Quakers, and sometimes in mj early childliood I attended their meetings for worship, held in the old Meetinghouse at Golansville, in Caroline County, Va., and still retaining a love for tliese good people, I have for some time past contemplated publishing a book giv- ing an account of their religious belief, and manner of conduct- ing their meetings. Through a member of the Society of Friends, in Richmond, Va., I have obtained extracts from some of their old Min- ute books, which I hope will be of interest to my readers ; I also make extracts from The Southern Friend (a religious journal published in Richmond during the Civil War). "Southern Heroes," a book published since the war, setting forth the stand taken by Friends, who would endure persecution rather than go forth to slay their fellow man. I also have a little tract issued by the New York Yearly Meet- ing, entitled: "A Brief View of the Doctrines of Friends," which I shall use. The Quakers have done much for the Christian world in preaching that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is essential to salvation, and that at all times, and under all circumstances, they should seek to be guided by the Holy Spirit ; hence, when they assemble for worship, they wait in silence before the Lord until they shall feel that he has given them a message to deliver to the people. It was this belief in the giiidance of the Holy Spirit and this silent waiting before the Lord that gave rise to the saying that the "Quakers are waiting for the Spirit to move them." There is a depth of meaning to this waiting before the Lord that only the true spiritually minded can comprehend. True wor- ship is the communion of the soul with its Maker. Iv publisher's notice. "Friends" have done niueli for the bettering of the world in liberating their slaves and in aiding in every way possible the abol- ition of slavery. Also their faithful testimony against Oaths has made the Courts accept the "Affirmation" as binding the same as the oath, and all who have conscientious scruples against taking an oath can take the "affirmation." My readers will be interested in reading over the "Marriage Certificates" to see that the Quakers really marry themselves, or as they say, "take each other in marriage." First, consent of the parents or guardians must be obtained ; then the consent of the Meeting. In olden times the man and woman had to go before the men's meeting, and then before the women's (Month- ly Meeting) and "declare their intentions," as it was called. But now they send in their "intentions" in writing, and the Monthly Meeting appoints a committee to visit them, and ascertain whether they are free from any other engagements and have full consent of parents or guardians. "No obstruction appearing," they can be married as soon as they may desire, after the favor- able report of tlie committee. The Monthly Meeting that accepts the report of the Com- mittee appoints another Committee to attend the mai-riage, to see that it is conducted in the proper manner, and report to the next Monthly Meeting. In reading tlie Disownments, you will discover tliat most of them were for "marrying out," that was, marrying one of another demonination, or being married by an "hireling priest," as the ministers of otlier churches were called. The Quakers began after a while to see that this was a serious loss to the Church, and now they are allowed to marry tJiose of other churches, if they are married by "Friends' Ceremony." The members are still dealt with and disowned for drunk- eness, immorality, or for engaging in clandestine trade, and are advised against hazardous or speculative trade, or engaging in any business beyond their ability to manage. The reader Avill also notice that before granting a Certificate of Removal, the Monthly Meeting saw to it that the business affairs of the applicant were properly adjusted and settled before \ \ PUBLISHEE'S NOTICE. V the certificate was granted, that their business affairs should not bring discredit upon the Meeting. The Friends not only liberated their own slaves, but also used every effort for the abolition of slavery. They did not allow their members to hire a slave, or take the position of overseer of slaves. The Quakers in North Carolina and A^irginia were at one time a large body, but the bitter feeling against them, because of their anti-slaveiy views caused them to seek homes in the free States, and soon many of the meetings were so de- pleted that they had to be ^'laid down." Doubtless many of my readers in the Western States will say, as they read these pages, "Yes, my ancestors came from Virginia.'' *J. P. BELL, Of J. P. Bell Company, Lynchburg, Va.

ABSTRACT In the mid-nineteenth century a compulsory education system was emerging that allowed all children to attend public schools in northern states. This dissertation investigates school attendance rates among African American children in New York State from 1850–1870 by examining household patterns and educational access for African American school-age children in three communities: Sandy Ground, Syracuse, and Watertown. These communities were selected because of their involvement in the Underground Railroad. I employed a combination of educational and social history methods, qualitative and quantitative. An analysis of federal census reports, state superintendent reports, city directories, area maps, and property records for the years 1820–1870 yielded comparative data on households, African American and European American, in which African American school-age children resided. The nature of schooling and the manner in which the household and community advocated for school attendance during this period are also described and compared.

  • The Medieval Officials-Principal of Rochester
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 53 1940 THE MEDIEVAL OFFICIALS-PRINCIPAL OF ROCHESTER. BY THE KEV. A. L. BKOWNE, M.A. INTRODUCTION. OP the ecclesiastical conditions that brought these officers into being Neander is informative. " In the course of the twelfth century," he writes, " the bishops (of Western Christendom) empowered proxies in the administration of their jurisdiction, under the name officiales to preserve their authority against archidiaconal encroachment." (Church History VII, 284, ed. 1851.) That the innovation answered its primary purpose can be admitted, but on the other hand it incidentally provided a whip for lashing laymen and clerics suspected of or charged with breaches of canon law. And the strictures passed on the administrative iniquities of these officers, at any rate on the Continent, by Peter of Blois1 are sufficiently pertinent for quotation : " Tota officialis intentio est, ut ad opus episcopi suae jurisdictioni commissas miserimas oves quasi vice illius tondeat, emungat, excoriet. Isti sunt episcoporum sanguisugae" (Ep. 25). This, epitomized, may be rendered :—These officials are employed to shear the wretched sheep within their jurisdiction; they are the bloodsuckers for the bishops. Be this as it may, one hesitates to believe that the enormities to which the writer refers could ever have obtained on an equal scale in the freer atmosphere of England, and where judgments given in a Consistory Court were subject to revision or disallowance on appeal to a bishop in person. As a matter of fact the bishop who appointed could also dismiss his Official, unless the Cathedral Chapter had confirmed the appointment, when it became a benefice and thereby tenable for life.
