FRIENDS TAKE
NEW QUARTERS
Work Expanding Rapidly at
Richmond.
Special to The Times.


RICHMOND, Ind, March 4-Crowded
conditions in the Friends central Of
fees in Richmond have necessitsksd an
other extension in Friends activities.
Rapid expansion Of work by the boards
of the Five Years Meeting has made 1t
necessary for the Young Friends board
and the home mission board, both Of the
Five Years Meeting, to move to another
building in the rear OF the Friends cen
tral offices.
In 1912 when the American Friend, the
official organ published by the Five
Years Meeting, moved TO Richmond from
Philadelphia only a single room was
needed to home the Friends offices here.
Later five rooms were necessary, after
the arrival Of the Bible School board
from Paramount.
Nov. %, 1913, the Five Years Meeting
purchased the Mather homestead, the
present main building, and remodeled 1t.
This brought together in one building
the American Friend business and edi-
torial offices, the American Friends board
OF foreign missions, the Young Friends
board Of the Five Years Meeting. and the
Bible school board of the meeting. 1t
was not until April, 1920. that an office
OF the home mission board was estab
Hshed in the central office.
Progressive work OF the Five Years
Meeting caused the organization OF the
Friends Forward Movement. with head
quarters here. This department now has
in use three large rooms and two small
ones and employs a staff Of ten persons.
With the addition Of the new building
there viii be about sixteen offices, en-
ploying eighteen permanent stan en-
ployes. This does not include the For
ward Movement offices or forces.
