Close of 1912 Session.

! The fiftieth session of the Iowa
Yearly Meeting W brought to a
close Sunday by series of devo-
tional exercises and sermons. The
business of the meeting was finished
up at the session of Saturday after
noon. The report of the committee
appointed last year to investigate
amusements was read at this meeting.
Various amusements were inyestigat-
ed by the committee and We're either
condemned or approved. The moving
picture shows were especially sub
ject of their investigation. They
found that while none of the pictures
shown We're unfit to be seen, that
some were worthless in every way,
and therefore should be done away
with. Other pictures were character
lied as having a high moral and edu-
catiOnal value. The National Board
of Censorship was commended for it's
work, but it was suggested that local
boards of censorship be formed to
pass on all pictures shown in the
different communities. The moving
picture was characterized as having
made a place for itself in the world
and as having come to stay. II was
also said that it could be made very
great power in the world.
/ A report of the committee 10 pro-
vide suitable means for taking care
OF the aged ministers was read and
accepted by the meeting. This pro-
vided for the raising of a permanent
endowment fund of $10O0O.00. the in
come which is to be used in taking
care of these ministers. The commit
tee was instructed to proceed with
the raising of the fund.
The report of the committee on sta
tfstics was read. This report show
ed S,4O3 members this year as against
S,57S last year, or total loss of 175.
The report also shows $44,516.33 ex-
pnded for home work and $6,50370
expended for foreign work, making a
total of $51 ,O59O3 for the year.
! The committee on correspondence
introduced the following epistles for
the approval OF the meeting: or
greeting to the children of the Yearly
Meeting, to the London Yearly Meet
ing, and to the Missionaries of ia
maica. The epistle to the children
was ordered printed and distributed
