EPISTLES SHOW GIIURGI1 GROWTH AHOfiG jaiEHDS Committee Condenses Reports and Prepares General Review for Indiana Yearly Meeting. The synopsis of the epistles from the various yearly meetings In the United States and Canada was read instead of each Individually, at the Indiana yearly meeting today. It said: All the epistles contain expressions of friendly greeting with a deaire that Friends In all our territory may continue to be united in the bonds of Christian love and fellowship, and also that these bonds may be strengthened as time advances. The necessity for more intimate union and fuller co-operation is made apparent by-the great social movements in the world which seem to be approaching, a crisis. We ought to do our part by presenting an unbroken front in behalf of those so-, clal and civic reforms for which we have always contended. Condense Feature. "One purpose of these epistles is to keep us informed upon local. iBsues and problems and 'to bring the whole body of Friends which we represent Into closer touch with each other and with these great world movements in which we are so vitally interested. In order that members ot our yearly meeting may appreciate this means of union, we have tried to condense into this synopsis the most salient features , of all of them. . "All the epistles agree in mentioning certain branches of church work and express encouraging words in regard to their progress. There Is increased interest everywhere in the case of missions, temperance and peace. Our educational institutions, both college and secondary schools, are described as enjoying increasing prosperity. It has been a year of exceptional activity and success in evangelistic efforts in . nearly all, if not quite all, the yearly meetings. Two yearly meetings, Iowa and Western, met this year in new and i commodious structures, well adapted to their needs. Many of the epistles speak in most appreciative terms of the helpful pres- j ence of several returned missionaries, the secretary of the American Friends
board of foreign missions, and also that of J. J. Mills, general secretary of the five years' meeting. COMSTOJKJOHORS (Continued from Page One.)

but at the time of his death was a candidate on the Democratic ticket for Judge of the Wayne circuit court. For the past thirty-eight years he resided in this city. From his location in Centerville to the date of his death, he waa engaged actively and successfully in the practice of the law. These are the barest outlines of his successful professional career. "Mr. Study was distinguished and was best known as a lawyer. He never, either at the bar, in private or in public life employed the arts of the courtier. He was no sycophant. As a lawyer he relied upon the merits of the cause he advocated. He was always strong, clear and forceful. He

"He did the best he could for his client, and then accepted philosophically the victory or defeat which came at the end of a hard legal fight. He was a positive character, decided In his convictions, and frank in the expression of his views. It was therefore always easy to ascertain his opinion upon social, moral or political questions or upon public men. His moral sense was keen. He had a high appreciation of the duties of a citizen. He was a partisan in politics, but a fair one, and was on the right side of current moral questions. His integrity and his loyalty to his friends were matters of common knowledge. His private life was without reproach. He had an inbred hatred of shams and deceit, and was free, plain, and prompt in his denunciations of them. Tried to Be Fair. "He had in common with us all, prejudices; they were strong. At times they may have biased his opin

He concluded life's race still wearing unwithered laurels (the decision of his last case was in his favor), still crowned with the honors of his chosen profession. In this he was fortunate. "I doubt not had he been permitted to make his choice between living in broken health, the victim of hopeless pain, or to be given the release that came to him, he would have asked release at times still blessed, though it severs every earthly tie."

RELEASE MITOFF FROM PRISON TERM
At the morning session of Indiana Yearly Meeting interest centered in the discussion of the state of the church and in the exposition of Friends' principles, both in the general session and that of the meeting for ministry and oversight which preceded it. Alfred Garrett, of Philadelphia, a leader in the Young Friends' movement, and Robert Douglas, . veteran minister of Indiana Yearly Meetlne.
1 talked with effect of those individual and collective states which were the
ideal of the founders of the Society of Friends. Mr. Garrett in arguing for the peculiar quility of Christians as understood by Friends said, in effect:' "The Twentieth century prophet must be profoundly informed by read-, ing the best books of religious scholarship as his inspired interest leads him, and better so than by training in theological schools, as better preserving his liberty of inspiration. Emphasis Changes. "This inspiration is still for the Christian prophet and 'the testimony of Jesus but the emphasis is changed. "There is less certainty of outward facts and more certainty of the inward
Sam Mitoff of Grtensfork, who has served two years in the Michigan City state penitentiary on a statutory charge, was today released on a pardon secured for him by Frank Conner of this city. Mitoff was given a sentence of two to fourteen years. Mr. Conner appeared before the statt board of pardons some time ago and the result was tht release of the prisoner when he had served the minimum length of his sentence.
facts of the nature and consciousness of Jesus. Robert Douglas said in part: "I have heard a great deal said about the work of the church but very
little about the Society of Friends it
self. Hear a great deal about the message but very little about the message itself. A great deal about . our mission, but very little of the nature of that mission." Mr. Douglas, incidentally, commented upon the non-essential character of the former Quaker garb, which he called "ritualistic," which degenerated into a form as indicative of no substance. $ "But there is a happy medium " said Mr. , Douglas, "and women can dress becomingly and modestly without being a walking advertisement for a millinery or dress making establishment" Need of Women. That there is a large field for the activities of women pastors was the assertion of Anna Hobaon, of Wichita, herself a pastor, Mrs. Hobson taking a crack at some men pastors wb criticized women for entering the ministry as frequently "fat and lazy," pointing out that a woman pastor often ran her own home successfully as well as
doing the work of the church. The general session was opened by a report from the delegates appointed to the last International prison congress held last year in Indianapolis and the statement that Timothy Nicholson had been appointed by Governor Ralston delegate to the next congress to be held In St. Paul in October.

What the Lines at $25 Offer You We're not pessimists, but even the heartiest optimist realizes that it will be quite some time before America will get a hold of any more imported woolens.
