IOWA YEARLY MEETING
Session Which Just Closed Was One
of Unusual Interest.

iowa Yearly Meeting of Friends
was brought to a fitting close with
three splendid addresses by Fred c.
Lebert, F.. Olin Hunt, and Chas. o.
Whitley in morning, afternoon and
evening respectively. IL.
The straight gospel was preached
by all three ina most, forceful man.
ner. An altar call at the close. of
the afternoon meeting resulted in two
persons coming to find deliverance
from sin.
One feature of this years meeting
is noteworthy. Namely, the decrease
in the number and length of business
sessions and the increase in deyo.
tional meetings This indicates an
awakening to the greater task of the
church.
Special mention should be made of
the work of Ross A. Hadley, assist
ant secretary of the American
Friends Board of Missions, in his en-
thusiastic appeals for missionary in
tersst among Friends; also the work
of Ancil Ratliff of Indiana, in his APP
peal for church organization and
church efficiency.
Lastly, of the addresses given by
Clarence M. Case on the Meaning and
Message of Quakerism.
A practical application of the mes
sages of these three men will mean a
bigger and better Iowa Yearly Meet
ing.
At the closing business session
items of special interest were intro
duced and dispatched. A report was
read from Pleasant Plain Academy
stating that the academy had closed
It's doors. This brings with it
thought of sadness, since this was
the last of the Quaker Academies in
Iowa. Upon the resignation of AL
