Her current status and view forward from 1912 is fascinating. The Stavanger Friends, having discovered a “spiritual religion”, were still in Norway; London YM covered Australia, New Zealand and South Africa; There were two meetings in Germany, but the military conscription lea most German Quakers to immigrate; and there were worldwide Mission Stations of strength.
She covers mostly English Quakerism, but notes that American Friends “suffered separations of Hicksites and the Wilburites from the main body”. She notes that Philadelphia is more conservative in dress and speech than English meetings, in Baltimore “we would feel quite at home”, and some Western “churches” “would hardly be recognized as (holding) Quaker Meetings for Worship.” Her authority often is Rufus Jones. She approves of the Richmond Declaration of 1887 as “a Uniform Discipline” followed by all but two of the Yearly Meetings, Philadelphia and Ohio (later historians completely dispute any large following for Richmond except among Western Friends headed toward Evangelicalism). In her tally of Friends, she does not initially include Hicksites nor Wilburites, and presumably not the Independent Association in the Western States.
