About a year ago I broke off my series on "The Old Discipline"
(sections of old books of discipline, mostly from the
Philadelphia 1806 edition) for no other reason than that my time
and attention became absorbed with other things.  I thought I
would continue it where I left off in the alphabetical sequence.

                          MEMORIALS

     QUARTERLY and monthly meetings are directed to furnish this
meeting annually with an account of the decease of such of their
members in the station of ministers or elders, as may have taken
place within the year.  And if any monthly meeting should under
solid consideration, believe it necessary to prepare a memorial
concerning any deceased Friend who had been a member thereof, it
is to go to the respective quarterly meeting, where, being duly
weighed and agreed to, it is then to be forwarded to the meeting
for sufferings, for inspection and approbation, previous to its
being laid before this meeting.--1755, 1786.
