In the early 1870s, Murray Shipley-already a well-respected recorded minister among Friends-began making notes about his preaching. We don't know if they reflect his thoughts before he went to meeting, or whether they are notes that he made afterwards; the latter seems more likely. But they give us an almost unique glimpse of the preaching of Gurneyite Friends, who made up the largest of the segments of American Quakerism after 1820.
