 Who is Dillon? Why did Andrew Ogden pay him $5,0O0 year for 26 years? An important clue is in Mon- days chapter.

QUAKERS MEET
Two important Meetings

Summer.
BuTimes SDecjot

En- Times Special
RICHMOND, ind. June =
Known as a Quaker center virtually
for the last century. this city will
live up to that designation this year
when it will again entertain two
important groups Of Friends that
have been meeting regularly here
for many years. One of them, the
Indiana Yearly Meeting, has con-
Quoted its annual conference in this
city, with two exceptions, since it
was first organized in a log cabin
here in 1921 The other, the annual
Young Friends conference, has met
here for nearly twenty years, with
two exceptions, when its sessions
we're held at Penn college, Oska-
loosa, Ia. Both are scheduled to
meet here late in the summer.
Besides these conferences, the city
also has the headquarters of Five
Year Meeting of Friends in Amer
lea, a national organization. The
executive stats of the national
boards are located in their own
building here. The Five Year Meet
ing carries on comprehensive and
growing work at home and abroad.
Thirteen yearly meetings in this
country are represented in the Five
Year Meeting.
Earlham college, a Quaker insti-
tuition here, is owned and operated
jointly by Indiana and Western
Yearly Meetings, whose constitu-
ency largely resides in eastern and
central Indiana.
Miss Elizabeth Marsh, executive
secretary of the Young Friends
board, announces that the annual
conference. which will bring between
300 and 400 young Quakers to Rich
mond, will be held for a week, be-
ginning Aug. &c. Sumner Mills of
Indianapolis is president Of the
board. DR.. w. 0. Mendenhall. presi-
dent of Friends university, Wichita,
Kas., and DR.. Thomas E. Jones,
president Of Fiske university, are
among educators of the church who
will deliver addresses.
The full faculty has not been Sc
lected.
Social and religious topics are
studied in the conference, which
has for its principal purpose the
development of leadership in young
Friends. Miss Marsh said she had
assurances of official representatives
from sixteen yearly meetings, in
Guiding those that are not officially
affiliated with the Five Year Meet
ing.
Indiana Yearly Meeting, the larg-
est body Of Friends in the world
will meet for its 1Q9th conference
late in August. The Yearly Meet
inb has assembled here annually
since its organization with the ex-
ception of a meeting each in Marion
and MunCie. The conferences are
conducted in the Timothy Nicholson
church, which was erected a few
years ago partly with a view of pro-
viding exceptional facilities for the
sessions. The church is said to be
the largest Quaker meeting house in
the world.
