A Portraiture of Quakerism, Volume I (of 3)

INTRODUCTION
230/423

When fully agreed upon, it stands ready to be recorded.

When a second subject comes on, it is canvassed, and a minute is made of it, to be recorded in the same manner, before a third is allowed to be introduced.

Thus each point is settled, till the whole business of the meeting is concluded.
I may now mention that in the same manner as the men proceed in their apartment on this occasion, the women proceed in their own apartment or meeting also.

There are women-deputies, and women-clerks.

They enter down the names of these deputies, read the minutes, of the last monthly meeting, bring forward the new matter, and deliberate and argue on the affairs of their own sex.
