Excerpt from The Lesson of Quakerism: An Essay Read in Boston, January 26, 1870
The distinctive doctrine of Quakerism is the affirma tion of the immediate teaching and influence of the Holy Spirit in the human soul. It has no elaborately wrought creed, or articles of faith. Among Friends there is a general unity of belief concerning the immediate teaching of the spirit but a diversity of opinion in relation to other points of doctrine. Orthodox Friends, while they do not have the outward communion service of bread and wine, differ little from other so-called orthodox Christians in their teaching of the plan of salvation through Jesus, and their literal accep tion of the Bible. Hicksite Friends are more latitudinarian. Emphasizing the doctrine of the Inner Light, they, as a class, are less strenuous, outward and technical, in relation to Jesus as a Saviour, and the literal authority of the Bible. There are many, however, of the latter class of Friends who have been appropriately designated as Orthodox Hicksites.
