itage; music, Lizzie Doerrmann; reel

The Friends Association opened
with the usual devotional silence and
a reading of the eighth chapter of
Esther by the president, Mary r.
Brown. The secretary, Elizabeth L.
Duell, read the minutes of previous
meeting and introduced business per-
tanning to the work of Friends Asso-
Citations; Cora d. Heritage read from
Life of James and Lucretia Mott;'
Aaron SOmers read current events
emphasizing the Friendly thought that
each individual has within a Divine
monitor that will always make clear
the right path; Benjamin c.. Heritage
read gleanings from Friends Intelli-
gencer; Martha K Allen read an ex-
ecllent original paper, s.sWoman's
Place in History; only few extracts
can be- given; God designed that wo-
man should have a mission on earth
and He has implanted within hes
breast those lofty desires and am ,i--
tions that only woman knows how
to achieve. Among those mentioned
in the paper as having made for them
selves places in history were Flor
ence Nightingale, Joan of Arc, Helen
Gould, Clara Barton and Frances E.
Willard. These women have proven
that God meant that woman's place
was not alone in the individual house,
but also out in the large world, the
home of all Gods creatures. Laura
iE. Holmes read an original paper,
The Advancement of Women Dur
ing the Past Century The subject
was presented under the following
topics: Education, Public Speaking,
Equal Suffrage and Philanthropy. AS
an evidence that the advance along
educational lines is not confined to
our own country, the writer quoted
from an address by David Starr Jor-
dan in which he said, that ten years
ago when he visited Japan he found
only two women to whom he could
talk. During a recent visit he spoke
to FIVE hundred young women at the
women's college and not a word was
translated. As vindication of the
advance made toward equal suffrage,
Judge Lindsey, of Colorado was quot
ed, Politics is nothing more nor less
than public housekeeping, the mere
expression of the common will in mat
ters pertaining to the common good ;"
In philanthropy, largely because Of
the increasing activity of women,
cultivation of a desire and prepara-
tion for better living not punishment
is now the incentive in dealing with
those who have violated the moral
law. Nellie John read a selection
from Tennysonls Princess. Meeting
closed with the usual devotional /
