"The Arm Chair" by Unknown is a collection of verses paying homage to important Quakers by using a symbolic armchair as a silent observer of their lives. The poem reveals the character of a community built on deep moral and spiritual foundations by exploring the lives and impact of people connected to the Quaker religion. The author calls upon the spirit of various ministers and members, sharing details of their journeys, difficulties, and contributions to their faith and communities. It celebrates those who showed important values like kindness, modesty, and a commitment to fairness, recognizing them as preachers, agents of change, and advocates for those in need. The poem mixes personal stories with deeper thoughts on faith, heritage, and the need to maintain the beliefs of older generations while dealing with today's issues. It acts as both a tribute to Quaker history and an encouragement to live by its values.
