Présentation de l'éditeur

Neitlier the Christian Public nor the World at larg Rhfis ever ndeqnately nmleratootl the phenomenon of Qiiakeriimn. It was a powerful movement in the direction of freedom of conscience and spiritnality in relii;ion one of those numeroua bursts of tbeiatic force Mliirh in diffprent nptes hae set the cnrrenta of human thought flowing on liipiher levels. The movement was marred near its commencement by certain peculiarities, and finally ehecked by a too rigid incnifitation of the red-hot lava of reform, producing a new repression of the freedom tlie movement came to assert. This wns dne partly to the unripeness of the age, and partly to the nature of the minds acted npon. A century later Methodism met with better succesn by takinp a less advanced position and holding it with more practical regard to the wants of the masses. The Quakers allowed their zeal to master their discretion, and by insisting on a too absolute standard of propriety shnt themselves off from the innltttade and stood still till the world went by them. Kor were they aware when the changes took place wlueb left tiiem contending b.joi Voftia.
