TEMPERANCE TO Be
A LEADING SUBJECT
Up for Discussion Before the
Yearly Meeting Late
This Afternoon.

The session of the Indiana Yearly
Meeting Of Friends this afternoon was
devoted to the questions OF home mis-
'sions and temperance. The Rev. l.. l..
pickett. one OF the visiting Friends,
gave the principal address at three
O'Clock on the subject OF temperance.
lFolger Wilson, chairman OF the COM
mittee on home missions, assumed
charge of that part OF the program
dealing with his work. and submitted
a most acceptable report.
The chief work at the morning SEES
sions today was the discussion OF
Southland college and Whites Insti.
Nute. Reports from the executive Of
Ulcers were given. and the condition
of these institutions was considered.
Both OF the institutions were said to
be In excellent shape, and accomplish
ing their purposes admirably.
Former Clerk Spoke.
The sessions in the morning open
ed with a talk by Charles f. Coffin. a
Hormer clerk OF the meeting, who has
passed his eighty-ninth year. Amos
Kenworthy, man who said he had
been a member of this meeting for six
ty.two years, expressed his view that
women had more effect over the spirit
ual and moral lives Of men than other
men had, and vice versa, and that
therefore the number of Christian men
varies In direct ratio to the number OF
women ministers. After a song by the
conversation. the clerk, Timothy MIC
holson, made the announcement that
although In the past 1t has been Gus
tomary to read the minutes of each
meeting before the final adjournment,
hereafter the minutes would be read
by the clerk at the next subsequent
session. az the interval would allow
the writer to get the minutes In bet
ter form than could be done in SO
limited q time.
The next step taken was the appoint
ment OF an evangelistic committee.
Albert l.. Copeland was named chair
man of this body, and was given for
his assistants. Henry Pickett, William
Digs, Fannie Pickett, Isaac Elliott.
Jessie Bogg, Esther Terrell. Emma I'm

Harris, and Effie A. Hall. The visi-
tors welcome was then extended by
the clerk to Mr.. and Mrs. Charles >.
Hunt, of Valley Queen, Oklahoma, and
to Eli and Minnie Meyers, mission
aries in Alaska.
The reading clerk read the list of
delegates and alternates who had fail
ed to respond to the roll call yester-
day. and it was found that several who
had been counted absent, had later ar
rived for the session. One Friend said
the reason for the absence of one dele
gate was that the delegate had not
the means to pay his expenses to the
meeting" The clerk stated that 1t was
his opinion that il the representatives
of any meeting had not the necessary
funds to come to the gathering, it
was the duty of the quarterly meeting
that the person represented to furnish
enough money for him to be present.
1t was asserted that although this rea-
son had probably been responsible for
many absentees in the past. today was
the first time that lack of funds had
been presented as an excuse by any
missing delegate.
The forty-eight annual report Of the
executive officers of Southland College
an institution supported by the Indi-
ana yearly meeting for the instruction
of needy colored children in the South,
which was read by the recording clerk
disclosed the fact that, although the
school was in need of help financially
1t was in the best condition in it's his
tory. The greatest need of the college
in the belief of the president, was bet
ter fire protection for the $4,000 or
more invested in property on, the
school grounds. 1t was stated that
during the past year surprising in
crease has been noted in the industrial
work, and the faculty OF the college
assert that this branch of the schools
activities will soon be enormous. In
addition to the demand for adequate
FIRE protection, which is required be-
cause the school is nine miles from
the nearest town, the president said
that a new boys dormitory. to cores
pond to the recently acquired girls
dormitory, was much needed. There
are four hundred and three pupils in
the school, and all are greatly interest
ed in the work and are enjoying good
health.
A Remarkable Feature.
A remarkable feature of the schools
record is that in it's entire history, not

amended was to change the object az
the institution. The object OF the
school. he said. should be to give the
pupils inspiration to become good men
and women. A tribute was paid the
late John U. Hardness, until recently
superintendent of the school, and the
feeling was expressed that it was for
tupate that the duties OF Mr.. Hardness
had fallen on mis- son, the present
head of the school, The financial re-.
port of the institute showed that the
school had no liabilities and that it
had surplus of $6959z.
One OF the clerks announced that
the ministerial association would hold
its session at the close of this after
Moons meeting and that the trustees
OF the Indiana Yearly Meeting would
meet this evening at the home of C. g..
Carpenter.
President Commended.
The annual election of officers for
the meeting furnished the principal
work of the session yesterday after
noon. Timothy Nicholson, one of the
leading Friends of the country, was
appointed for the eighth successive
year to the Office of clerk of the meet
ing. Richmond was also honored by
having several Of it's citizens appoint
ed minor positions in the meeting.
Among these was Prof. E. P. True
