W OhON ~ - WHIlV
Edgar Nicholson was elected presi
ding clerk, Tuesday afternoon, Mary
Doan Hole, recording secretary, Edwin
p. Trueblood and Edith Hunt, reading
clerks, Of the Indiana Yearly Meeting,
which began its Tooth session Tuesday
morning.
The 6Sth annual report of Whites
Institute was read.
The London report said in part:
THE call is loud Europe lies in
struggle in history, with it's peoples
broken, starving. despairing from
shear nervous exhaustion, mechanical
ly struggling forward along the path
Of anarchy and war.
"Old ideas Of wealth. of property, Of
class and social relations, or moral
and spiritual values, are rapidly chang
ing. A new heart must be given not
only to our enemies but also to US,
contr1te spirit for the woes which
have overwhelmed the world, a spiri,
Of pity, mercy and forgiveness.
New Spirit Is Born.
"A new spirit of generosity and hui
manfty. born in the heart of the peo-
pie in the great hour of common sut-
fering and sorrow, can alone heal the
wounds which have been inflicted on
the body Of Christiandom.
ITO each of us, however small an
opportunity may seem, some part OF
Gods work will be given to do, part
greater than our fears, or even than
our present state. We shall find that
our hearts are made strong in prayer
and joyful in praise, our eyes are
kindled to see the truth, our feet can
go on Gods embassies, our hands can
help to heal, our lips and lives can
seek his Love. And through US, men
in their need may again see God in
the face Of Jesus Christ"
Much OF the time was spent in call
ing the names Of the representatives
and alternates and the reading of the
credentials of visiting members from
other Yearly meetings.
At the meeting Of the permanent
board at 8 a M. committee was ap-
pointed which will report next Friday
election of now members for the board
On trustees OI EarI.t.An college.
Every year two members OF tho
board, which is made up of six men,
bcrs each from Indiana Yearly meet
ing. and Western Yearly meeting, are
either replaced or re-appointed. Terms
are for three years.
May Go Back to East Main.
Probably the most important pro-
posal made by any of the quarterly
meetings was the one by Van Vert,
which asked that the old time of
holding the Yearly Meeting. and the
old place, East Main Street Friends
church, be adopted for future meet.
ings.
Much interest WAS taken in this pro
posal E Howard Brown, pastor OF
the East Main street Friends church,
suggested that all members of the
Yearly meeting vote upon the PROPOSE
ton, and not leave it to be decided by
quarterly meeting delegates alone.
A motion made by Timothy Mich
olson that the matter be left to quar-
terly meeting representatives to settle
was finally adopted. The matter will
be reported upon later.
Another proposal from a quarterly
meeting dealt with whether the Yearly
meeting financial board should accept
suggestions and other matters Of COM
mon interest direct from monthly
meetings.
Several Representatives Absent.
In several instances representatives
from quarterly meetings were not
present.
In the absence of Roy Wollom, Of
Spiceland reading secretary of the
meeting, Edwin Trueblood was chosen
for the place.
