'SHARPLESS' LECTURE
President of Haverford College
Visits 0skaloosa.

The Friends services at Penn chap
ell were conducted by DR.. Isaac Sharp,
less, President of Haverford college
Pennsylvania. HIS lecture at the
morning service, "Quakerism and Nor,
al Reforms" was the second of a
series of four, which he Is delivering
on Quakerism to the Friends col,
leges of the west.
The history of Friends shows that
from the time of George Fox to the
present they have been active in NOR
al reforms. The early Quaker reform
ers in England showed a steadfast
ness and courage that impressed
church and government alike and in
the end accomplished their purpose.
In America Friends have been fore
most in prison reforms, granting OF
educational privileges, giving hospital
care to the insane, abolition of slav-
cry and promulgating the doctrine OF
peace. The success of their efforts Is
already matter of history in all save
the question of peace, and in regard
to this the present day holds a bright
promise for what the future will give.
The mission of the Friends to realize
the need of reforms and to see and
apply the remedy is not past. Both
English and American Friends are
working with the laboring classes to
try to do away with class hatred and
to teach the brotherhood of man.
At the evening service DR.. Sharp
less spoke on the subject, "Quakerism
and Creed" Both morning and ey-
ening services were well attended and
good interest was manifest.

New cases are contintially, developing
