PLAINFIELD. Ind, Sept. 24.-The thirty
ninth annual session of the Western Yearly
Meeting of Friends Church closed to-day
at noon. Formerly there were three bust
ness sessions held a day, but there has
been such a demand for devotional meet
ingS that the business sessions have be-
come less and less numerous until this year
only ten sessions were held in seven days.

many to shorten the time of the Yearly
Meeting. and it is altogether possible that
the programme committee may determine
Wednesday, instead of Thursday,
formerly.
Last night there were gospel services in
the house conducted by the evangelist,
Seth c. Rees, assisted by Rev. George w.
Willis This morning the devotional service
lasted forty-tive minutes, giving way for
the business session at o'clock. Steps
