 Letter of 16 October 1926  | 
| 
 
     We should, however, be careful, as you mention in your 
letter, not to make this system develop into a hard and fast creed 
or form.  The Cause is pure and free from such things and it 
ought to be the task of the friends to keep it broad and 
progressive.  Man is always apt to fall into the habit of doing a 
 
423
thing in a certain way, and thereby become captive to prescribed 
forms.  It should therefore be the duty of the assemblies 
everywhere to see that, though certain temporary measures are 
taken to further the Cause, they do not crystallise into hard and 
fast creeds.
