Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer. Was the light infallible? Was the claim to it an assumption of spiritual exaltation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Quaker-Christian Home We are not assuming that the Virtues and values dis cussed in the following pages are absent in other Christian homes. We are merely saying that through the centuries Quakers have/ put a strong emphasis upon these qualities, and that we feel that this emphasis should be continued.' This little booklet does not undertake to cover the whole range of Christian living in the home. There are many excellent books and materials available from our Board on Christian Education, and from other sources. These are highly recommended for further study. The purpose of this little booklet is to emphasize the distinctive features of the Quaker home. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
