It is earnestly recommended that, as Friends tend to the affairs of our Society, we bear in mind always that we are about God’s work. We should endeavor humbly and reverently to conduct ourselves and our meetings in the wisdom and peaceable spirit of Jesus, with dignity, forbearance, honesty, and, above all, love.
