The Quaker Mission To Cornplanter's People
BY DAVID SWATZLER This account of a 1799 Quaker mission to a Seneca village in northwestern Pennsylvania is based on the journal of Henry Simmons and offers a captivating look at Seneca culture of the period-their festivals and games, division of labor, and fascinating cult of dreams that effected many of their actions. The perceptive Chief Cornplanter, realizing that his people must adapt to new social and economic patterns, welcomed the Quakers as teachers, not so much for their religion, but for their knowledge of agriculture.

A People Disciplined To Follow?
BY JANE ORION-SMITH The author distills the essence of Quaker experience with spiritual leadings into a clear, concise account.

Neither does she shy away from discussing the discipline required to identify and follow a leading. This pamphlet is a challenge to individuals and meetings to be open to the promptings of love in their midst and to find the discipline to obey. Queries are included to assist worship groups in their discernment and understanding of leadings in their lives.
