IL Is anticipated that this Year,y Meeting,
desiring to keep pace with the. other meet
ings, may make some advanced steps along
the line of the pastoral system, doing away
with the system of. distinct meetings for
men and women. but it is no. definitely
known that any of these questions will be
touched. One thing is sure. however the
spirit Of change is gradually permeating
the society here as we'll as elsewhere, and
the Western Yearly Meetings are regarded
as the leaders in the progress that the
church is making.
