Text size

_'I look upon Cumberland and
Westmorland as the Galilee of
Quakerism.'--T. HODGKIN._

_'They may have failed in their
intellectual formulation, but at
least they succeeded in finding a
living God, warm and tender and
near at hand, the Life of their
lives, the Day Star in their
hearts; and their travail of Soul,
their brave endurance, and their
loyal obedience to vision have
helped to make our modern
world.'--RUFUS M. JONES._

_'We ceased from the teachings of
all men, and their words and their
worships, and their temples and
all their baptisms and churches,
and we ceased from our own words
and professions and practices in
religion.... We met together
often, and waited upon the Lord in
pure silence from our own words,
and hearkened to the voice of the
Lord and felt His word in our
hearts.'--E. BURROUGH._

_'John Camm, he was my father
according to the flesh, so was he
also a spiritual father and
instructor of me in the way of
Truth and Righteousness ... for
his tender care was great for the
education of me and the rest of
his children and family in the
Nurture and Fear of the
Lord.'--THOMAS CAMM._

_'Death cannot separate us, for in
the never-failing love of God
there is union for evermore.'--J.
CAMM._
