has been done since the peace move
ment was inaugurated.
The first battle won was the estab-
lishment of the Hague tribunal on the
initiative of the Car of Russia after
concerted action by 400 peace socie-
ties all over the world. The next step
was the writing of obligatory arbitra-
ton treaties of which there are now
40 affecting the 35 leading nations of
the world.
Eighty of the largest cities of the
world, the speaker declared, have
through their commercial bodies eX-
pressed desire that henceforth inter
national disputes shall be settled by
arbitration.
Only two kinds of national quarrels
are not now submitted TO arbitration
under the 140 treaties. These are on
questions affecting national honor or
vital interest. When these two are in
corporated into the obligatory arbitra-
ton treaties, the nations of the world
will be ready for disarmament.

Allen d. Hole declared that when
the citizens of this country are COM
PEELED to pay for a standing army

day of disarmament will be nearer at
hand.
Resolutions were adopted reaffirm-
ing the previous stand of the yearly
meeting on the peace question, pro-
testing againsts increasing the army
and navy and thus increasing the spir
it of war and arousing International
suspicion and jealousy.
Copies of the resolutions will be sent
to the United States senators of Indi-
ana and Ohio, and members of the
lower house.

REPORT ADVOCATES
NEW APPORTIONMENT

"There is a growing spirit of DEM
ocracy in our church as well as in the
world in general" says the annual re-
port of the committee on apportion-
ment in prefacing it's recommendation
that two years hence the yearly meet
ing stock be assessed according to the
numbe of full members.
The committee believes every man
demands that his vote be counted for
as much as any other mans and that
he feels better if he pays the same
amount for the privilege of member
ship.
The report sets out that the yearly
meeting stock is only a small portion
ofthe money to be raised to carry on
the work of the church. Other sums
are recommended to be raised by
home donations and assessments by
home meetings.
The final decision of the meeting is
postponed for two years in order to
give the members time to make up
their minds.

NAMES NOMINATING
COMMITTEE

Owing to the heavy work that is
caused the clerks in handling the bus
1ness of the meeting the following
committee was named by the delegates
to assist them: George N. Hartley,
Emiline Moore, Bennett l.. Sugart, EN-
ma Unthank, William Davis and EN-
ma Hedges.
The order of business of last year
was adopted allowing the quarterly
meetings to be represented on the
nominating committee according to
membership. This was approved by
the meeting after considerable discus
sion, as the delegates asked the yearly
meeting to direct the quarterly meet
ing to appoint members for the nom1-
mating committee and include them
with their reports on representatives
to the yearly meeting. 1t was pointed
out that the present method was
adopted only a year ago and had not
yet been given fair trial.
Timothy Nicholson requested that
notice be placed in the minutes of the
meeting calling attention to the fact
that representation is allowed at the
rate of one delegate for each 800 or
membership as some of the meetings
seemed to be disregarding the rule.
The nominative committee was ap-
pointed as follows:
Spiceland, Alvin G. Painter, Emma
Hedges, Allie Gray; Wabash, Margaret
Bundy, William H. PEBBLES; Marion,
Elias Bundy, Alice Gates; Whitewater,

EARLY CALL TO
MISSION FIELD

"Why did / take up missionary
work." answered J. F. Ford, Friend
missionary to Jamaica, yesterday.
"Well, the work was mapped out for
me when l was only six years old.
heard an African missionary telling of
the work that he had done in Africa,
of the many wonders and curious ex-
periences to be encountered there, and
straightway the hope swelled in my
bosom that I too, some day might fol-
low in his footsteps.
when l grew up l decided that the
most pleasure in life is derived from
service. Service is greater when given
where it is most needed This was the
thought that impelled me to enter the
mission fields"

MISSION WORKERS
LONG FOR AFRICA

After an absence of seven years
from Africa, Mr.. Ford and his wife
who have been doing mission work in
Jamaica for that period of time, are
hoping to return soon to their work in
the Dark Continent.
The Fords began their work in Brit
ish South Africa but when they re-
turned to America on their furlough
they were sent to Jamaica for a tenn
porary stay. The assignment lasted for
seven years, but they are hoping that
arrangements can be made while they
are in Richmond so that they must
again return to their first work in AT
