The New England Society Of Friends
met al Newport, r. l., last Monday, and
il the course Of the proceedings some
curious facts were brought 70 light. Ii
was shown that although the society
numbered about four thousand. there
were only twenty-nine births last year,
which was regarded as an indication that
the society vas losing ground. Il was
explained, however, that more than half
the members married persons Of other
cminations. whose children were no.
counted in the society. Other causes
were also given for the decline in the in
fuence Of the body, chief among them
being that the conditions of New England
are antagonistic to large families, and
that many active Friends had emigrated
20 other parts Of the country.
