Circular to Believers universally. 1864.

Concerns financial obligations incurred by Shakers in the world. It especially warns about the dangers of having debts with the outside world. The crux is contained in this paragraph: "Therefore, Beloved Gospel Friends, may we, each and all, learn from this the following important lesson: That no agent in the employ of the Society , in any family thererof, for the transaction of business for the people of God, in any capacity, great or small, is authorized or has any permission of the United Society of Believers, whose property is all consecrated to the service of God, to virtually mortgage any portion thereof, great or small, to the world, whether it be real or personal estate, by giving a note or notes, for value received, by raising the money on a note or notes before due, by indorsement [sic], or in any manner becoming absolutely indebted to the world for value received." The Ministry at New Lebanon issued this circular, and recommended that it be read to each family once a year.
