Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constitution and Discipline for the American Yearly Meetings of Friends For a time the members called themselves The Friends of Truth. The distinguishing doctrines of Friends have from the beginning led them into special lines of service that have resulted in great good to mankind. Because they would not comply with unjust requirements they were imprisoned in great numbers in England until their quiet endurance of oppression aroused the con science of the nation, and this resulted in obtaining many of the blessings of civil and religious liberty which all now enjoy. They were the consistent and unyielding Opponents of human slavery when they stood almost alone in their opposition to it. They have opposed war as violating the principles of Christianity, as well as the precepts of its Founder, and as bring ing untold evils upon mankind, and they have always advocated peaceable methods of settling disputes between nations. They have steadily advocated jus tice toward the North American Indian, and have labored independently and as the representatives of government, for his civilization and christianization. They believe that oaths were forbidden by Christ, and they have obtained in all English-speaking countries the privilege of affirmation. They have advocated, and in many cases inaugurated, prison reform, which has greatly relieved the sufferings of convicts. They have been among the leaders in the rational and Chris tian treatment of the insane; and, in many other ways, have engaged in the service they felt laid upon them for the good of humanity. Friends came to America soon after the body arose in England. New England Yearly Meeting was established in 1671, or earlier; Baltimore in 1672.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends: Being the Constitution and Discipline of the American Yearly Meeting of Friends; With the Additions Adopted by Indiana Yearly Meeting Being thus separated from others, and many be ing every day added to the church, there arose, of course, peculiar duties of the associated persons toward each other. Christianity has ever been a powerful, active and beneficent principle. Those who truly receive it no more live unto themselves and this feature and fruit of genuine Christianity was strikingly exhibited in the conduct of the early Friends. No sooner were a few persons connected together in the new bond of religious fellowship, than they were engaged to admonish, encourage, and, in spiritual as well as temporal matters, to watch over and help one another in love. The members who lived near to each other, and Who met together for religious worship, immedi ately formed, from the very law of their union, a Christian family or little church. Each member was at liberty to exercise the gift bestowed upon him, in that beautiful harmony and subjection which belong to the several parts of a living body, from the analogy to which the apostle Paul draws so striking a description of the true church: Ye are the body of Christ and members in particular.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Discipline of the Society of Friends of Ohio Yearly Meeting In the morning of the gospel day, the apostles and disciples found it necessary to meet together, for the consolation and strength one of another; when, pursuant to the nature and design of the gospel which brought peace on earth and good will to men, a care arose for the edification of the church, and that all being of one family, might be of one mind. And, as it hath pleased the great Head of the Church, to gather us a people to himself, and to inspire us with degrees of the same universal love and good will, by which was ushured in the dispensation of the gospel, we are engaged not only to meet together for the worship of God, but also for the exercise of a christian care over each other, for the preservation of all in unity of faith and practice, answerable to the description which He, the ever blessed Shepherd, gave of His flock, "by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John xiii.35. For this important end, and as an exterior hedge of preservation to us, against the many temptations and dangers to which we are exposed, the following rules, which have been occasionally adopted by the Society, now form our code of discipline.
