STILL BELIEVE IN POWER OF

Friends Retain Attitude that Has Gained Experience

RICHMOND. Ind, Jan. 13.-On the background of an experience of more than 250 years, during which the Quaker church nls relied upon "si- lent waiting before God" as the source of spiritual discernment, it's members, known as the Friends, to- day still believe in the power O. silence. Walter C. Woodward. gen eral secretary of the Five Years Meeting of Friends in America and editor of the American Friend, in q statement issued here today said this religious group still believes that the world may be purified and strengthened through the power of living silence.
 Prom the constant clash and con- 1 fusion which distract it." he said "the world must retire to the inner chamber of the unseen reality of the spirit, if peace and good will are to become regnant.
 "The world is now stirred as never before with aspirations for world i brotherhood To become fruitful these aspirations must be based upon | the will to peace. The attainment of this will is primarily a spiritual rather than an intellectual process It must come through spiritual com munion with God, and through Him with man, the brother. Herein lies 1 the power of silence. through which we may become in tune with the in finite
 This is not the silence of seclu sion which would lead one from life $ responsibilities to the introspection of the mOnastic cell It is what Friends term a living silence through which men may become spiritually energized for the great tasks of hu man betterment
 Spiritual things cannot be dis cerned without quiet meditation the western world is reminded by Sadhu Sundar Singh, the Hindoc seer That American churches are coming to recognize this fundamen tai principle is illustrated by the clarion call for spaces of silence made by The Churchman, organ Of the Episcopal Church of America At a time when the soul of America is being stirred to meet the need oi the world.

We are con- sidering holding a teachers institute in connection with the meet, both to occupy one week in time and being held concurrently, sessions Of the institute to be held during the forenoons and of the interschool meet during the afternoons and even ings.

MAY TAKE SYMBOLS OF IRELAND FROM BRITISH NATIONAL FLAG AND ALSO FROM COAT OF ARMS

Heraldry experts say that altera- tions in arms are very expensive. Some years ago there was demand from Irish quarters that the blue ground of the golden harp on the royal standard should be changed to green. It was then estimated that the alteration would cost at least 100000 pounds. To remove all reference to Ireland from the pres en. Union Jack and Royal arms would be vastly more expensive.
 One authority said that it would not be correct for England, the pre- dominant partner, to leave Ireland out of account in the national flag and the royal arms, unless and until Ireland herself demanded it.
