Harris, W. S. (William Shuler), 1865-

"A twentieth century allegory"

--He must reach a reasonable degree of respectability, or
endeavor to do so.
"RULE II.--He must not wear clothing so plain as to attract undue
attention.
"RULE III.--He must not tolerate or countenance the common nuisances
so prevalent in the churches of the King's Highway.
"RULE IV.--He must ever manifest a liberal spirit so as to keep in
touch with the progress of the world.
"RULE V.--He may engage in any practice that will give enlightenment
on either the dark or the bright side of life. Members of this church
ought to have a well-rounded education.
"RULE VI.--He must never take advantage in buying or selling, except
in such cases like Jacob's, where he can bring good to himself or
profit to the church.
"RULE VII.--He must never give way to his temper, except in such cases
where his personal liberty or his church is attacked.
"RULE VIII.--He is to cultivate grace and etiquette through whatever
channel possible.
"RULE IX.--He is to be faithful in attending the services of his own
church, except in cases of sickness or disinclination.
"RULE X.--It must be his constant aim to reach Heaven by traveling
diligently on a way wide enough to hold the attention and respect of
an enlightened age.
