> The world has a false scale in which actions are weighed. A man is frequently considered good simply because he attends some house of worship regularly. Many attend such places for this consideration. I would rather do one good act tan go to church a lifetime without doing it, and would rather take the chance of the one act than all the professions in the world. Goodness is an active principle. It is simply acting up to thy own highest idea of right. Goodness is the fruit of the action. (p. 166)
The critical nature of these thoughts towards Charles's faith from birth are echoed by his sister and some other Friends back at home, where they discuss just what action means in the context of a war that many view as in just cause.

Duty is too abstract a concept to hold in the mind. And beneath that, "There is a holy mind that is above fear."
Quakers, as...well, we'll say 'gently lapsed charismatics', are no strangers to gnostic concepts of the worldly in contrast to the spiritual. It's not uncommon in Great Awakening thought. It's just that, in that moment, that spiritual side of you gets kicked back a half a pace. There is a holy mind that is above fear, but the weird part is that the disconnect remains.
