136 March 1, 1971 FRIENDS JOURNAL We Need to Publish the Teachings of Jesus by Howard Rogera

I SPENT two days at a state college working with a student group working on alternatives to the draft. I learned, to my dismay, that none of the two hundred men who wanted to talk to us was connected with any church. They had been exposed to religion but had become so bothered by the contradictions that they had given up on it. I can see their point of view. I was taken to Sunday school at an early age and there was shown the many lov­ ing aspects of the life of Christ, which seemed beautiful then. Now, fifty years later, they still do. Yet, when I sat in church with my parents, things seemed D rawing by Peter Fingesten different. The church was dark and gloomy; there seemed "We need simple books . . .." a great sense of fear instead of love.

Jesus himself spoke simply, ence between the sense of love expressed in the Sunday and throughout his teachings there was always a deeper school and the grimness of the church. In the end, after leaving home and finding the same difference elsewhere I sense of compassion than the world had known. Let me give an example. Those who insist the Christian avoided churches.

138 March 1, 1971 FRIENDS JOURNAL A Quaker Portrait: Hanna Monaghan by Roland Frambea

IT Is HARD to get Hanna Darlington Monaghan to talk about her past. She prefers to look to the future, and that she does with the verve one expects in men and women a quarter of her age. If Hanna Monaghan had lived a "normal" Quaker childhood, the rest of her long, active life might have been different. Different, too, would have been the lives of those she came in contact with, for their lives would have been lacking the light she has shed along the way. I did learn from her that her mother, Anna Jackson Monaghan, was read out of Meeting for marrying a non­ Quaker. Hanna was reared a Quaker, but she was an adult when she joined Swarthmore Meeting. Soon thereafter she started her studies of early Quaker beliefs and George Fox's life, which culminate in the recent publication by Hanna D.
