FRIENDS JOURNAL Do High School Seniors Believe in God? OR four semesters I taught a class in Quakerism at F Oakwood School, Poughkeepsie, New York. The class met twice a week. There were six questions on the final examination, of which students had to answer three. One of these questions was: "Write an essay on 'This I Believe.'" Over 75 per cent of the students answered this optional question. Only one student declared he was an atheist. All the others believed in God.

We who are less assertive may recall the way in which we are sometimes "knocked off our perch" by a quite small event which, by wrong thinking and feeling about it, we manage to blow up to a major trouble that we seem powerless to deal with. We are then something like the sailor described by D. Parry-jones in "Welsh Country Upbringing," who had traveled the seas of the world. In his old age he declared there was one place he had not seen but had always hoped to visit. It proved to be a village only three miles away. But when they offered to take him there, he could not summon the resolution to go. It had been so long an idea that now, as an action to be per­ formed, it seemed too big to tackle. So also in the the religious life we are apt to come suddenly up against some duty-obvious and simple as it appears to others-which we cannot face; or some fear takes possession though we know it to be unreasonable.
