I HAVE CALLED YOU FRIENDS, the story of Quakerism in North Carolina. By Francis C. Anscombe. Cloth bound, $5. English background. So begins the first chapter of this splendid book. The author begins the book: As there can be no fruit without a root, and as American Quakerism was rooted in English soil it is necessary to explain briefly the circumstances which produced George Fox and the early Quakers. The author then gives a terse history of the literary and religious history in England. The history crowded in a few pages will make you recall much history that you read when a school student, and prepares you for the first workers in the Quaker work. The history, though so briefly recited was a treat to me, and I lived again my school-days. I had a faint history of the Friends, but not having lived in a section where the Quakers live, I had not made a close study of their FAITH. I have profited much by the book, and would not part with it. I am glad to have such a frank well written book in my library. You will profit much and gain information which will assist you through your religious life Know your neighbors.
