Book Description
Excerpt from The Faith and Practice of the Quakers The issue now before us is not merely one between the scientific interpretation of the universe and the Biblical interpretation of it. If it were solely that, it could in time be settled by the gradual process of thought, for the mind can in the end answer the ques tions which the mind asks. If one answer is right and the other answer is wrong, some day the right position will conquer the wrong, and truth will drive error from the field.

Social Aspects of the Quaker Faith (Classic Reprint)
Author: Edward GrubbPublisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781527663657
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Excerpt from Social Aspects of the Quaker Faith It is not by accident that we, who profess to follow the Light within, have been earnest in philanthropy, and opponents of slavery and of war. To follow the Light is to be, as Fox taught, of a universal spirit we cannot rest content while those whom we profess to regard as brothers are Oppressed or degraded. Or armed for mutual destruction. But the applications of universal brotherhood are wider and closerthan some of us are aware and it is my aim in these fragmentary thoughts to help in discovering its hearings on some features of our social and industrial life. I say dirrovm'ng, because I believe that each generation must find for itself the application of the thoughts of Jesus to its new conditions. He propounded no external scheme of social salvation; and if to my socialist friends the pages that follow seem to deal too tenderly with existing institutions, I would remind them that we have the highest authority for beginning from the inside. If, as I would Iain hope, the principles herein stated are in good measure true, and if we are faithful to the truth as we know it, the further application of the principles will be progressively ascertained.

Book Description
Excerpt from Quaker Strongholds A deep-rooted trust in the all penetrating power of Divine Light, also naturally tends in some degree to check that impatience to teach every man his neigh bour, which is intelligible enough in those who regard human teaching as the only means whereby a knowledge supposed to be necessary to salvation can be diffused. The immediate result of the reception of light in one's own heart is indeed the impulse to communicate it by bearing witness to it - to kindle (so far as heart can kindle heart) - an answering flame in others - and thus.
