NICHOLSON RECEIVES

OF That the International , Conference of Men Friends held in Richmond marked an epoch in the history of the Society of Friends and that it accomplished in every way, all that it sat out to accomplish and more was the statement today of S. Edgar Nicholson, editor of the American Friend ar.d chairman of the general conference committee who kindly prepared the following summary for the Palladium: : Thf Men's Conference has set a new race for the Society of Friends in America. Because of it there is the icsslbtlity c: a larger denominational existence, a more constructive denomlaatlonal program,- and a more positive determination to make Quakerism, potential for .the accomplishtent of the tasks set before us. To ; nany there came a new sense of denominational' consciousness that Is.brund to find expression, in more realistic Christian service at home and Ahmitil AnH thia. nw. tntttit will expand iMetfe riot tyMW$ilfoi?m in ' developing , a sort , or , aristocratic Quale e : taia. .but - fat - linklna.

The utterances of Dr. Adam were a revelation of new meaning in the value of the Christian life, and these alone were worth the whole cost of the conference. . No one who heard him can fail to have a better comprehension of God, a clearer understanding of what' faith and prayer and consecration, mean in human .life,. a larger vision of the need of a purified social order through the power of purified and Christianized personality. Foremost then of the results of . the conferenco was the inspiration that came to' everyone Who attended. Many a vcak, struggling meeting back FRENCH TROOPS ASSISrSERVIA NISH, Via Servia, Oct. 23.

' CONFERENCE home, that is down in the ruts without knowing how to get out, will feel the uplift of a new purpose and a new determination. Many a minister, who has had an imperfect, impression of our denominational value and our mission as a church, will see more clearly the great tasks which Friends have to perform in the world. No less in importance Is the emphasis that has been laid upon the need of a more efficient, working organism. What can be accomplished by the committee appointed to confer with the various boards relative to any needed revision cannot be conjectured now, but the possibilities of this investigation are manifold. It maybe that out of it all may come a concentration of machinery with' fewer boards, and a more adequate, financial equipment for their operations.

The registration of approximately 800 was a marvel to many, and, counting those of the community and others who came in after the registration office had closed, fully nine hundred persons received benefit directly from the discussions The influence of the occasion will be felt for a generation to come.

If this girl had been taken by our troops and shot as would be Just, the English press would never cease to speak about the 'barbarian manner In which the Germans make war,' Just - as ' at the present time when an English woman had been' executed . in Belgium after having been found guilty of treason."
