which opened yesterday i'm East Main

cause OF the evident desire of the
American Friends in general to in
crease the usefulness of their denom-

with the present methods pursued
generally speaking, yet which shall
seek TO preserve the features which
are deemed effective. Under the pres
ent system he foreign missionary
work is conducted by the various
Yearly Meetings and the Missionary
Boards, each being entirely independ-
ent of the others and il is with the
idea uppermost of evolving some con-
solidation of these independent bod
les, that the present conference was
called.
Splendid Body of Quakers.
1t is a fine body of men and women
who are assembled to discuss this
question, and it is truly representa-

intellect and progressiveness. On ev-

deepest realization of the RESPONSE
