Narrative of Facts and Circumstances That Have Tended to Produce a Secession from the Society of Friends, in New-England Yearly Meeting (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, 10/01/2017 - 84 من الصفحات Excerpt from Narrative of Facts and Circumstances That Have Tended to Produce a Secession From the Society of Friends, in New-England Yearly Meeting It was under the profession of supporting sound doc trines, that he pursued a course, and indulged in a spirit of detraction, tending to injure the religious character of divers Friends in our own and other Yearly Meetings, representing them as unsound in doctrine, and holding views inconsistent with those always held by the Society of Friends. Letters were written and circulated by him having this end in view, and intended to lessen the stand ing of individuals, and to obstruct their religious labours. In the autumn of 1837, John Wilbur made a religious visit within the limits of new-york Yearly Meeting; and during the course of this journey he continued to indulge in this detracting spirit, both in Speaking and writing, until he produced much exercise with well-concerned Friends, - Ministers, Elders, and others, - among whom he was travelling, and some of them treated with him on this account. In one of the conferences held with him upon_ this subject, he used the following language: I consider the course I am taking in respect to the Friend from England and his writings, to be in the line of my religious duty, and this I hold to be more binding upon me than any rules of Discipline.
