 Quakarenas Gudstjenst. The Quaker's Service. 



In the afternoon I was in one of the Quaker's churches 

 to see their ceremonies at God's service. They had 

 neither pulpit, predikstol, nor altar, but only benches. 

 The men sat mostly separately by themselves, and the 

 women on their side also separate, and they did not mix 

 with each other, as is done in other churches. Nearly 

 all the men had their hats on their heads, and they only 

 took them off while prayers were being read. Here there 

 were no regular priests, but any one of them, be it man 

 or woman, was a spiritual priest, en andolig Prast, 

 who began to speak and preach in the church, as the 

 spirit, according to their belief, gave them the inspiration, 

 alt som Andan, efter deras tro, gaf dem uppen- 

 barelsen in. To-day there preached two old men, of 

 whom the one who spoke last, delivered a very beautiful 

 sermon. He scarcely said anything which he did not at 

 the same time prove from the Holy Scripture. It all 

 pointed to this, that men [T. I. p. 455] ought more and 

 more to put off their sins, and seek to enter into fellow- 

 ship with God. This people is a very paiseworthy body, 

 because they are commonly more temperate and sober- 

 minded, saktmodigare, more peaceable, stillare, 

 more charitable, hjelpsammare, and betake themselves 

 more to guarding against all resentment, and outwardly 

 sinful life, than a great part of the Presbyterian as well as 

 of the English Church, in both of which latter they do 

 not commit the great fault of neglecting the Sacraments
