11. Before you leave them, engage the head of each family to call all his family every _Sunday_, before they go to bed, and hear what they can rehearse, and so continue till they have learned the instructions perfectly. And afterwards take care, that they do not forget what they had learned. 12. Speak differently, according to the difference of them you have to deal with, as they are dull and obstinate, or timerous and tender. Be as plain as possible to those of weak capacities, and give them scripture-proof for all you say. _Q._ 18. How shall we prevent improper persons from insinuating themselves into the society? _A._ 1. Give tickets to none till they are recommended by a leader, with whom they have met three months on trial: 2. Give notes to none but those who are recommended by one you know, or till they have met three or four times in a class: 3. Give them the rules the first time they meet. _Q._ 19. How can we add a proper solemnity to the admission of new members? _A._ 1. In all large towns, admit new members into the bands only at the quarterly love-feast, following the visitation: 2. Read the names of the men to be admitted the week before: 3. Admit into the society, only on the _Sunday_ following the quarterly visitation: 4. Read the names of those to be admitted, on the _Sunday_ evening before: 5. Then also let the names of those be read, who are excluded from the society. _Q._ 20. Should we insist every where on the band-rules? Particularly, that relating to ruffles? _A._ By all means. This is no time to give any encouragement to superfluity of apparel. Therefore give no band-tickets to any in _England_, _Scotland_, or _Ireland_, till they _have left them_ off. In order to this, 1. Read in every society the “thoughts concerning dress.” 2. In visiting the classes, be very mild, but very strict. 3. Allow no exempt cases, not even of a married woman: better one suffer than many. To encourage meeting in band. 1. In every large society, have a love feast quarterly for the bands only: 2. Never fail to meet them apart from the society, once a week: 3. Exhort all believers to embrace the advantage: 4. Give a band-ticket to none, till they have met a quarter on trial. _Q._ 21. Have those in band left off snuff and drams? _A._ No. Many are still enslaved to one or the other. In order to redress this, 1. Let no preacher touch either on any account: 2. Strongly dissuade our people from them: 3. Answer their pretences, particularly those of curing the cholic, or helping digestion. _Q._ 22. Do we observe any evil which has lately prevailed among our societies? _A._ Many of our members have lately married with unbelievers, even such as were wholly unawakened. And this has been attended with fatal consequences. Few of these have gained the unbelieving wife or husband. Generally they have themselves either had an heavy cross for life, or entirely fallen back into the world. _Q._ 23. What can be done to put a stop to this?
