Greatest Legacy George Fox
Left to Quakers Was
His Ministry.
THE INSTITUTE CONTINUES.
SEVERAL SPEAKERS PARTICIPATE
ED IN DISCUSSIONS AT EARL
HAM COLLEGE LAST NIGHT AND
TODAY.

THE greatest legacy that George
Fox left the church was his ministry;
for he had his call and qualification
from God and a very definite and most
gracious message to deliver to the
people," stated DIR. Newlin Of Mobiles
vile, in his address to the Friends BIZ
BILE institute at Earlham college last
evening
George Fox has unconsciously left
his autobiography in his journal; a
book filled with the spirit of the man
who was himself filled with the spirit
OF God. W. l.. Wakinson some two
years ago said Benjamin Franklin
flew his kite into the air and brought
down electricity-Fox went higher and
brought fire down from the throne of
God. Few men have ever had greater
grace and courage to speak in boldness
and yet in love with the whole council
OF God.
At the conference held at five
o'clock yesterday afternoon, the SUBJ
ject for discussion was How We
should spend our Sundays" Very in
teresting talks were given.
THE views of the other churches are
not 80 different from the Friends as
they used to be-" was the statement
made by Richard Haworth.
1.-THE pastors should not be invited
to big dinners on Sunday" said DIR.
Newlin, well known Friend.
1.-The question of rest on the Sab
bath is of great Importance The
states should pass laws towards fur
thering the observance of Sunday"
Charles Tebbetts. secretary of the Five
Years meeting of Friends, said.
Others who took part in the discus
sion of the question were Ebert Rus
sell, Morton Pearson, Ada Elliott Lee.
Calvin Bray, and Mrs. Harrison, who
said Children should be taken to
Sunday school and services in the
morning and the remainder of the day
they should be taught to spend in quiz
ct pleasures at home.
Today's Sessions.
The session of the institute this
morning was most interesting one.
At this meeting three excellent ad-
dresses were heard. J. f. Randolph on
deuteronomy" DR.. Leary on The
Fertility and Beauty of Palestine" and
Eliza G.. Armstrong on "A History of
Friends Missions"
In the first lecture Mr. Randolph
gave scholarly discussion of "Deu-
tsronomy," the last book of the cove
nant.
Speaking on Palestine. DR.. Leary,
who followed Mr.. Randolph, said in
part: ITO an American the fertility of
Syria Is at first disappointing. When
first went there despised it, Then
| excused it and finally l loved it. l
had to learn to look for things in Syr-
la. Flowers of great beauty and inf
mite variety are abundant. Orchards
of oranges and olives bear the best
fruit in the world. The moonlight
nights are marvel and the moonlese
nights light enough to see the time by
your watch. The sunsets are re-
markably beautiful. gig 80
Missionary Revival.
The lecture given by Eliza Arm.
strong was most interesting one. She
said in part: "A full and accurate
history Of our missions is work
much to be desired and we hope it is
forthcoming.
George Fox and many of his con
temporaries had the missionary spirit
but later our church lost it, Howey
