_'Flowers are the little faces of
God.'--(A saying of some little
children.)_
_'To the soul that feeds on the
bread of life the outward
conventions of religion are no
longer needful. Hid with Christ in
God there is for him small place
for outward rites, for all
experience is a holy baptism, a
perpetual supper with the Lord,
and all life a sacrifice holy and
acceptable unto God._
_'This hidden life, this inward
vision, this immediate and intimate
union between the soul and God,
this, as revealed in Jesus Christ,
is the basis of the Quaker
faith.'_--J.W. ROWNTREE.
_'Here the pure mind is known, and
the pure God is waited upon for
wisdom from above; and the peace,
which hath no end, is enjoyed....
And the Light of God that calls
your minds out of the creatures,
turns them to God, to an endless
being, joy and peace: here is a
seeing God always present.... So
fare you well! And God Almighty
bless, guide and keep you all in
His wisdom.'_--GEORGE FOX.
