Why Cardinal O'Connell Is Wrong! [Three Bound Bundle], Earl Clement Davis
Why Cardinal O'Connell Is Wrong! [Three Bound Bundle], Earl Clement Davis
Manuscripts
A long essay responding to a talk by Cardinal O'Connell of Boston. Unfortunately, we are unable to identify which talk Earl Davis is responding to. The piece is Davis' most complete argument against authority religion and in favor of democracy and freedom in religious considerations. He discusses previous failures in "infallible" religion, including Coperincus/Galileo, Darwin, and the morality of earning interest. He states that we will never outgrow religion, but we will outgrow certain religious institutions -- including, in Davis' view, all authority religions.

The Relation Of Public Schools To Life, Earl Clement Davis
The Relation Of Public Schools To Life, Earl Clement Davis
Manuscripts
This manuscript is very likely a public high school commencement address. Earl Davis discusses three serious issues he finds with public education. (1) The tend to crush the child's innate desire for adventure, a desire Davis sees as seminal to the achievements of history. (2) They do not support a child's interest in doing real work -- because real factories are too dangerous and inhuman, and this undermines the emerging adults appreciation for labor. (3) They do not support the healthy idealism that young adults can bring to clean up the messes of their elders. Through all of this, there …

'Church Fairs And Suppers, Graft And Blackmail, Says Minister', Pittsfield Newspaper Article, Pittsfield Newspaper
Manuscripts
A report of Davis' unhappiness with Church fairs and suppers as fundraisers (for his salary). His issue was that they did not treat people according to need, claiming it was quite the opposite, particularly for the women who organized them. To help fight this, Davis gave up a significant portion of his salary.
Permanent Characteristics Of Liberal Religion, Earl Clement Davis
Permanent Characteristics Of Liberal Religion, Earl Clement Davis
Manuscripts
An incomplete -- but long -- manuscript. Davis arrives at two key generalizations. The first is that social developments grow out of forces already operating in life. The second is a moral generalization -- that free inquiry is a fundamental moral principle for modern life. His route to these generalizations is by considering the lives and efforts of early pioneers, his own ancestors, and Thomas Hooker, who co-founded Hartford, Connecticut in the mid-1600s. Davis tries twice to argue that the world is imbued with moral purpose, but the essay is incomplete on this point.

The Women Of Owen Clinic And Their Impact On Rural Mental Health, Mallory Stanley
The Women Of Owen Clinic And Their Impact On Rural Mental Health, Mallory Stanley
Manuscripts
The mid-1900s was a pivotal moment in reforming mental health treatment in American Psychiatry. This movement becomes particularly clear when examining the championing work of two women, Dr. Thelma V. Owen and Dr. M. G. Stemmermann, at a rural mental health facility located in Huntington, WV: Owen Clinic Institute. While mental health stigma was at an extreme high among the general population, many factors aligned to allow for a new era of mental health care, including deinstitutionalization, World War II, and the advocation of professionals in the field. In West Virginia, no two people were more outspoken and active in …

The Ethical Aspect Of Socialism, Earl Clement Davis
The Ethical Aspect Of Socialism, Earl Clement Davis
Manuscripts
This is an address supporting socialism, where Davis situates socialism as an obvious next move in the historical trajectory from feudalism to freedom; authority to democracy. Davis sees said historical trajectory as an ongoing movement away from monopolies of truth, state power, and industrial production and distribution.
Unfortunately, this essay, clearly written for a particular audience (“I assume that you have not come here to be entertained…”) has no definite date in the manuscript, or identification of the event where it was presented. There is ample textual evidence that it was written during the time Earl Davis was the Minister …
Review Of "The Introduction Of Androcles And The Lion" By George Bernard Shaw, Earl Clement Davis
Review Of "The Introduction Of Androcles And The Lion" By George Bernard Shaw, Earl Clement Davis
Manuscripts
An overall very positive review of George Bernard Shaw's introduction to his play Androcles and the Lion. Davis takes Shaw's bait -- "Why not give Christianity a trial" -- and discusses the playwright's compelling vision for revisioning Christianity for the modern world. Davis states that "the point is that the pathway of history is strewn with the remains of dead Gods. They are dying today. In all the fields of modern activity we make our generalizations in accord with the facts of experience."
While this manuscript has no date, Davis wrote another piece on George Bernard Shaw in 1913 ("The …
Count Leo Tolstoy: A Tragedy Of The Times, Earl Clement Davis
Count Leo Tolstoy: A Tragedy Of The Times, Earl Clement Davis
Manuscripts
A relatively long discussion of Tolstoy's life and, in Davis' view, ultimately unfinished spiritual growth. There is analysis of two books, Anna Karenina and The Resurrection. Davis concludes Tolstoy failed to shed the need for dogma, and that this is a tragedy of our times because we are in change.
