Excerpt from A Brief Narrative in Relation to the Position of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of FriendsThis state of things has not come upon the Soci ety all at once. It is the natural outgrowth of seminal principles, speciously presented and asso cisted with much that is true, but tending to lead away from 9 spirituality of the Christian reli gion, as pro 'ssed by Friends, and to substitute something else for submission to the revelations of the Light of Christ in the heart, as a means for perfecting salvation, and preparing for service in the Lord's army.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
