Yet it is important to re-examine these advices in the Light as we know it and to restate them freshly in the language of today. There will continue to be revisions of our discipline so that the words of this volume and the rewordings of future times serve the same spirit and reinterpret the same truth. The settled meetings to be kept each first-day. General Meetings, as a rule to be on some other day of the week. As any are brought in to the Truth new meetings are to be arranged to suit the general convenience, without respect of persons.
Persons ceasing to attend meetings are to be spoken to.
Ministers to speak the word of the Lord from the mouth of the Lord, without adding or diminishing. Collections to be made for the poor, the relief of prisoners, and other necessary uses, the moneys to be carefully accounted for, and applied as made known by the overseers in each meeting. Intentions of marriage to be made known to the Children of Light, especially those of the meeting where the parties are members.
