XXIX. FIERCE FEATHERS

_'We who were once slayers of one

another do not now fight against our

enemies.'--JUSTIN MARTYR. A.D. 140._

_'Victory that is gotten by the

sword is a victory slaves get one

over the other; but victory

contained by love is a victory for

a king.'--GERRARD WINSTANLEY. 1649._

_'Here you will come to love God

above all, and your neighbours as

yourselves. Nothing hurts, nothing

harms, nothing makes afraid on

this holy mountain.'--G. FOX._

_'My friends that are gone or are

going over to plant and make

outward plantations in America,

keep your own plantations in your

hearts with the spirit and power

of God, that your own vines and

lilies be not hurt.'--G. FOX._

_'Take heed of many words, what

reaches to the life settles in the

life. That which cometh from the

life and is received from God,

reaches to the life and settles

others in the life.'--G. FOX._

_'An old Indian named Papunehang

appreciated the spirit and

atmosphere of a Friends' meeting,

even if he did not comprehend the

words, telling the interpreter

afterwards, "I love to feel where

words come from."'--A.M. GUMMERE

(from John Woolman's Journal)._
