RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 27. There Is no encouragement for the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends In the statistical report submitted to the meeting this morning, aj far as the membership is concerned, for there has been a loss over last year of 320. The loss seems to be in failure to hold the young people, many of whom are attracted to more progressive denominations and forsake the church of their fathers. This is a condition the Friends have faced for a long time, and it is the one they are now aroused to overcome, as Is seen in the fostering of the Christian Endeavor and tho Eible schools. Other items from the statistical report were as follows: Number of members, 20,224; adult members, 13.G0S; under the age of twenty-one years, C.016; female members, :o,?J2; male members, 9,22; recorded ministers, 207; members attending college, 131; teachers who are members, 211.

The epistle from, the Ohio Yearly Meeting says there lias been a general advancement of the members of that body. Tho missionary and Christian Endeavor work are claiming special attention, as well as the cause of peace. The epistle from Canada speaks especially of the satisfactory condition of the home mission work. Pickering College and the other Institutions are quite prosperous. Evangelistic, pastoral and missionary work is in especially good condition, according to tbj epistle from the AVestern Yearly Meeting. The state of society, always a highly important topic, brought out a spirited discussio.i, for the reports were not ail satisfactory. The attendance on the midweek meetings is very, small. There Is some carlessness with regard to the reputations of others, and more care in this Is recommended. Isaiah Jay, of Falrmount, and Thomas J.

A request from the New York Yearly Meeting that this meeting unite in an effort to inaugurate a temperance crusade, was laid over for the consideration of the General Conference, which meets next year, probably in Indianapolis. Prof. C. W. Hodgin, of thi3 city, and Mrs. Hannah I-i. Smith, of Ohio, were rcchosen delegates to the National Anti-saloon League convention. Rev. E. O. Ellis and Dr. Elizabeth Holloway are the alternates. The meeting was well pleased with the report from Southland College, as is shown by the liberal response when money was asked for.
