GRAND OLD MAN
 OF QUAKERS TO
 BE GIVEN HONOR
Will Preside at Quaker Gen. tenary to Be Held Next
 Month in Indiana.

RICHMOND, Ind, July 21.-When the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends. the largest body of Quak- CTS in the world, celebrates the one hundreth anniversary of it's tound4 ing here on August 15, Timothy Nicholson, internationally known as the grand old man of the Quaker Church, will preside.
 Nincty-two years old. Mr Nichol son is still 'as vigorously advocating social reforms as he did when he be- gan his career 70 years ago.
 For 34 years he was presiding clerk of the Indiana Yearly Meet ing, and during his regime it grew in numbers and influence until to- day it ranks in importance with the London, England, Yearly Meeting. He was also the organizer of the Five Years Meeting of Friends, with which almost every yearly meeting in America is affiliated.
 Mr. Nicholson firmly believes he will see the day of universal dis ornament and international peace before he is laid to rest in the Friends cemetery here.
 Universal Peace.
 Universal peace will be the greatest accomplishment since Jesus Christ lived and His disciples preached His word" he declared today But never shall we have it until the professing Christians accept the basis of Christian faith and stay there,
 Mir. Nicholson has been president l of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League since it's organization, and league 1 leaders say he will hold the post until death. He has been an avowed opponent of the liquor traffic since ] his early youth. His first reform eff | forts eliminated in the closing of several grog shops in North Caro- ! lima. When Indiana was declared dry by statutory legislation, MT. 1 Nicholson said he had hardly hoped i to live to see that day. He feels sure that international prohibition i will come soon.
 Helped Law Making.
 Early becoming interested in prison reform Mr Nicholson sue ceeded in having the Indiana Gen eral Assembly pass laws putting the correctional institutions of the state on a high level Last year the Im- perial Commission of India which | ly;p methods complimented him for his i long work in connection with this problem. He brought about the es- tablishment of the Indiana Prison for Women and the Reform School for Girls. He was president of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections at its meeting in Detroit 19 years ago. The National Confer ence of Social Work at it's meeting i'll Milwaukee in June sent him an affectionate greeting. He served on the Indiana Board of Charities from 1887 to 1908 when he withdrew voluntarily.
 Patience Gets Reforms. Patience, says Mir. Nicholson, is one of the prime requisites of the attainment of reform.
 If you keep your mind on the ideal, ther's very little chance of your losing it" he said. 'The trouble with the long prohibition campaign in this country was that too much was wanted at once It is impossible to take a moral question out of the jaws of politics in one ef- Tort.
