EoistIes are Read.
The Dublin n london yearly meet
ings were shown to be in a most ex-
cellent condition as the epistles read
from those bodies describing the work
that is being carried on by them, were
descriptive and told of the advance
ment both organizations have made.
The report from the London meeting,
breathed the sentiment that the orig
inal custom of the Quakers to eve
speak in meeting till the spirit moved
them should still be maintained. This
the epistle said, was still very dear
to the members of the London meet
ing. The London yearly meeting will
send five representatives to the Five
Years meeting to be held in Rich
mond The missionary scope of
the London meeting has been greatly
enlarged in the past year. The for
eign mission department was threat
ened with curtailment for a time ow-
ing to the lack of sufficient funds.
This condition has past away and the
London meeting hopes to still further
enlarge its foreign mission work dur
ing the coming year. The epistles
from the London meeting was signed
by Henry Lloyd Wilson and Racheal
BARLEY Brethwaite.
Dublin Is Optimistic.
The epistle from Dublin was as op-
for the future as was the one
from the London meeting. The
home mission work being carried on
In Ireland under the supervision of
Dublin meeting is progressing
and is on a firm foundation.
Much good is being done. Foreign
are being carried on in
Japan, China, Syria and Madagascar
,y the Dublin meeting. This body will
also send five delegates to the Five
Years meeting to be held in Rich
nond. The epistle was signed by I
Samuel Druly and Jonathan Good
,ody. I
