1909 [1774], John Woolman, edited by Charles W. Eliot, LL.D., The Journal of John Woolman (The Harvard Classics; 1), U.S.A.: P. F. Collier & Son Corporation, published 1937, page 184:In these back settlements we met with several people who, through the immediate workings of the Spirit of Christ on their minds, were drawn from the vanities of the world to an inward acquaintance with him. They were educated in the way of the Presbyterians. A considerable number of the youth, members of that society, used often to spend their time together in merriment, but some of their principal young men of the company, being visited by the powerful workings of the Spirit of Christ, and thereby led humbly to take up his cross, could no longer join in those vanities. As these stood steadfast to that inward convincement, they were made a blessing to some of their former companions; so that through the power of truth several were brought into close exercise concerning the eternal well-being of their souls.
