PREFACE. THE tracts which are here presented to the reader possess more than a transitory interest. Hence it has been thought desirable to collect and print them in a small volume. In addition to the Annual Epistles and various minutes of the Yearly Meeting, they manifest the concern of our religious Society to uphold and to commend Christian truth in its intimate and essential connection with Christian practice; and many of them are especially valuable as illustrative of the spirituality of the Gospel dispensation; and the self-denying walk which must ever distinguish the consistent Christian. |
