Excerpt from The American Friends' Peace Conference: Held at Philadelphia, Twelfth Month 12th, 13th and 14th, 1901 The American Friends' Peace Conference, the calling of which is explained in the Introduction to this Report, met for its first session in Witherspoon Hall, Philadelphia, Twelfth month 12th, 1901, at am. John B. Garrett, of Philadelphia, presided. In opening the Conference the Chairman said: We all recognize that the only proper beginning for such a Con ference as this upon which we are entering is the seeking of the favor of Almighty God; and as true Spiritual worship is a matter between the individual soul and the Creator, I suggest that a few moments be first given to silent communion with Him. While we are so engaged, Should there be a feeling on the mind of any of the duty of vocal prayer, we shall all appreciate its appropriateness and endeavor to be baptized into the spirit of it.

Called "a pioneer work of the first importance" by Staughton Lynd, this book traces the history of pacifism in America from colonial times to the start of World War I. The author describes how the immigrant peace sects-Quaker, Mennonite, and Dunker -faced the challenges of a hostile environment. The peace societies that sprang up after 1815 form the subject of the next section, with particular attention focused upon the American Peace Society and Garrison's New England Non-Resistance Society. A series of chapters on the reactions of these sects and societies to the Civil War, the neglect of pacifism in the postwar period, and the beginnings of a renewal in the years before the outbreak of war in Europe bring the book to a close. The emphasis on the institutional aspects of the movement is balanced throughout by a rich mine of accounts about the experiences of individual pacifists. Originally published in 1968.
