Since all Friends are bound to feel weightily concerned over many controversial issues of the day, our Ministers are reminded to be careful how they enter upon such disputed points when giving testimony. Let us remember that “True courage dwelleth closer to gentleness than to denunciation,” and that judgment belongs to the Lord. Let there be constant selfrestraint from any tendency, either to give cause for or to be drawn into disputation of any kind during our meetings for worship.
