THE FRIENDS RI

Meet in Conven-

Evils.
Conference Proposed on the Second

Wednesday Of March, 1906
at Washington.

Indianapolis Ind. Oct 27.-The five
years meeting of the Society OF Friends
to- day at their closing meeting session is
sued the following call to all the Christian
churches:
ITO the Various Christian Bodies in the
United States: Dear Brethren in Christ
We are confident in the belief that the
consensus Of opinion of the protesting
Christians Of our land Is opposed to the
evils of the liquor traffic. and we find
want Of corporation in practical effort to
give effect to this opposition because
mono of the propositions heretofore made
has met the approval Of the general judg-
ment Of Christian people. We recognize
that this Is the case in our own body and
we believe it is likewise true Of others. AS
a result the church exerts far less infiu-
ence than 1t should to prevent the evils
produced by this great cause Of poverty
and crime and which also is most seri-
Gus obstacle to the spread OF the gospel
We deeply impressed with the
conviction that an earnest effort should
be made to ascertain in what way Chris
tians can exert united influence in this
cause and by what means they may work
together. Upon what proposition can we
obtain a practical agreement? We frankly
confess that we are not competent to
solve the problem. but we believe that by
united inquiry and a prayerful seeking for
divine enlightenment, with Willingness
10 approach the subject with an open mind
tho united church may find a way by
which we can serve the cause Of Christ
and the good OF mankind in seeking the
ultimate elimination Of this stupendous
evil We therefore invite the governing
bodies of the various denominations OF
Christians in the United States to appoint
delegates to represent them In a confer
ence to be held in the city Of Washington,
to begin on the second Wednesday Of
March, in the year 1906.
THE decisions of this conference should
be reached only in practical unanimlty
and therefore 1T is unnecessary to indicate
any limit to the proposed representation.
I'VE issue this invitation with an hum
Bile realization of the smallness Of our
body, as compared with many Others but
we do 1t under a deep sense that this
duty has been laid upon us and that God
will use the proposed instrumentality for
the accomplishment Of great good to man
kind and for the glory or His name. Be-
levfn6 that this proposition will meet your
approval and practical cO-Opera ton we
have appointed James Wood Of Mount

amount the state has received no taxes.
This amount will be reached under the
proposed law. Estimating this amount at
the lowest figure, 100000 the increase
from this source alta per cent will be $780,

The actual gain under the new scheme
based on last years business, will be $780,
