Two hours or more a week spent with like-minded worshippers, where the service began in a prayerful solemnity which might remain unbroken, could not fail to deepen introspective and reflective qualities among the early Friends. Quaker memorandists refer again and again to the influence of solitary reflection upon major crises in life, and upon their ability to estimate relative values whenever worldly and spiritual values came into conflict. This habit of silence, especially cultivated in individual and group worship, influenced the formation of the Quaker mind and fostered its growth. Courageous faith, simplicity in life which nevertheless was touched with a quiet humor, and an aloofness which never precluded humanitarian sympathies, contributed in large measure to the Quaker art of living. But among all the influences making for culture, contemplation held the foremost position.
