PLEDGE
LOYALTY TO j. S.;
PRAISE WILSON
Call Presidents After-War
Program Expression of High
est Ideals of Democracy.

A letter of sympathy will be sent
to Governor Goodrich from the Ind
lana Yearly meeting of Friends. it
was decided at the session this morn
ing. Timothy Nicholson, who wrote
the letter, stated that this was being
done because Governor Goodrich is a
Christian man, is well known as a
teacher of large class of young men
and a prominent reformer.
The epistles to the Dublin, London,
and American meetings were read.
The Dublin epistle expressed the
idea of the faith that Friends must
keep in this crisis. THAT the faith of
the Friends will be put to a test at
the cost of the ordeal through which
the world is now passing. No man.
made scheme will be dura BILE or re-
construct the broken order of the
world with permanent results. It is
comforting to our common faith to
know that President Wilson has
voiced a program of reconstruction
high ideal of democracy and calls for
a program after the war, for which
our society has stood for two hundred
and fifty years.
"It has been a marvel in recent
months how our people have rallied
to the prohibition of the manufacture
of liquor"
The epistle continued to state the
conditions of the various departments
of the church.
Thankful For Attitude.
A part of the London epistle stated
that "It is with deep sense of graft
tude that recognize the growing bonds
of love and fraternal fellowship be-
tween all branches of Friends as we
become alike in these times Of trial
and testing. We must give united and
efficient service to the world. 1t has
been forcefully brought home to us
that this Is time when great liberty
must be granted to all to follow the
light as It is made known to them,
In accordance with this our love and
sympathy goes out to those who feel
called upon to devote themselves to
military activities.
1--WE pledge our loyalty and support
to the nation we love because of the
daily blessings we share with the
masses of the population because of
our government.
1--WE are profoundly thankful for
the understanding which our presi-
dent and his officials have of the
Friends situation and attitude. We
must continue what we have done in
the past with faithfulness."
Recommendations of the finance
committee were made. Reports were
made of the Ministry and Oversight,
Trustees, Treasure, and Auditing COM
mittee, the committee on returning
Minutea and the committee on epis-
lies. The minutes of the permanent
boa rd were read
When the report Of the financial
