Description:Excerpt from Journal of the Life of John Wilbur: A Minister of the Gospel in the Society of Friends; With Selections From His Correspondence, &C The biography herewith presented to the reader is one of no common character. It is the plain and unassuming, though in some portions self-defensive narrative, of one who, after being for many years put in trust with the gospel, and highly esteemed for the work's sake, found the latter years of his pilgrimage and ministry fraught with uncommon exercise and trial, from the unexpected discovery of a spirit at work in the Society to which he belonged, and especially in the land of our forefathers, tending to undermine its original principles and character - a spirit which, in its progress, though exposed and opposed by him and by other faithful watchmen in Europe and America, yet, spreading across the Atlantic, had power and influence sufficient to accomplish a schism in the Society - of which schism, this worthy man was an early victim. A former heresy, in which the precious doctrines of the sonship and atonement of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and the divine authority of Holy Scripture, were set at naught, had found him at his post, in the meridian of life, firmly standing by the ancient Christian faith of the Society. That scourge, however, had passed over without producing much devastation within New England Yearly Meeting, or in Great Britain.
