CHANGE IN MEETING TIME BROUGHT BEFORE CHURCH

A spirited session . narrowly was averted when the subject of changing yearly meeting time was introduced at the Yearly Meeting today and it was quickly disposed of to the quarterly meetings for action to be reported on

next year. Leander Woodard representing the delegates from rural districts declared the meeting la so early as to interfere with school and with

sowing, corn cutting and silo filling,

but members cf boards and commit

tees seized the first opportunity to call

attention to the fact that the Kansas yearly meeting and all important yearly meetings and five years meeting board sessions hinge on this question. Goddard Takes Charge.

Joseph A. fGoddard took charge of

the meeting while the report or his committee, the evangelical, pastoral and church extension committee was being read by Truman C. Kenworthy, superintendent. With $1,500 on hand to begin the year, the committee reported for the first time a balance without having made temporary loans. Referring to the fact that 16 of the 100 pastors In Indiana Yearly Meeting are women, superintendent Kenworthy declared the women have become recognized as successful in accomplishments men would not undertake and have won a lasting place. The 136 monthly meetings paid $36,000 in salaries and there has been a growing tendency to save on evangelistic work by trading pulpits. A list four times bigger than last year, was read of ministers open for evangelistic work. There were 1,575 conversions last year. Big Gains Reported. Home worship has made big gains and 953 families In 63 meetings joined the Family Altar league. Country church problems continue to multiply and pastors and workers were notified that a conference led by experts will be held soon to solve them. The religious community canvass was advocated. New pastors In the past year were Charles Raxton. Zeno Doan and Charles Woodman. The loss of Fannie Elliott, for seven years secretary and Charles Hiatt, from the committee by failure or reappointment was deplored. 1 In reporting the great building progress, It was announced that West ' Richmond Friends meeting house costing $42,000 will be completed in a month, two meeting places recently were dedicated, Seattle, Dayton and New Castle Friends will build soon and Economy, Dublin, Lewisville, Am-; boy, Farmland and other congrega-j tlons have provided better parsonages, i

New Westville's new meeting house was given special mention.

In the foreign missions session this

afternoon Charles B. Tebbetts, gener

al secretary of the American Friends Board pf Foreign Missions, said a new era has been entered by the removal

of denominational lines to some ex

tent by which unnecessary duplication on one hand and entire neglect on the other, has been avoided. Plans for a

united survey of Cuba and other is

lands have been made by an interde

nominational assemblage and a limited survey is already going on in Mexico. In the report of the yearly meeting foreign missions committee, Milo Hinckle, chairman and Belle C. Baily secretary, the most important point, according to the secretary, is the progress of the traveling library which will be extended next year after more mission reading circles have been established. Forty-four mission auxiliaries with 889 members were established and $10,560 was spent with a $1,000 deficit on the books, 'fhe voluntary contribution method for financing the work is unsuccessful, the committee reported. Committee Makes Report. The nominating committee reported the appointment of the statistical committee to consist of Charles L. Hawkins, Harry R. Hole, Carthage, Ind., Alice Hunt, Fountain City, James B. Unthank, Richmond, and Anna M. Roberts. Prof. J. .Herschel Coffin was appointed chairma of the home missions committee. Albert R.

LULL IS REPORTED

With the end In view of instituting a campaign to completely stamp out the hog cholera epidemic in Wayne, Union and Fayette counties, where the ravages of this disease have, in recent years, cost the stock raisers hundreds of thousands of dollars, Dr. Willis of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry will arrive in Richmond the first of next week to take complete charge of the campaign. Dr. Willis will be assisted by a. deputy of the state veterinarian's office. Veterinarians of Wayne and Union counties have completed an organization, principally to co-operate in the war on hog cholera. At a meeting held by the veterinarians of these two counties in Richmond the following officers were elected: Dr. Lee C. Hoover, Richmond, president; . Dr. Modlin, Cambridge City, vice-president, and Dr. G. G. Ferling, Richmond secretary. The meeting was called by deputy state veterinarian, F. A. Bolser of New Castle. "Hog cholera is not as bad in Wayne, Union and Fayette counties at the present time as it was last year and the year before, but it is hnd

enough to warrant a determined effort to completely eradicate the disease in this district, and the federal government Is to direct the work," said Dr. Hoover today. "Dr. Willis, the federal expert, will conduct a campaign of education, showing hog breeders how the disease can be pre

vented, me vaccination of hogs the past two years has greatly reduced the prevelence of the disease. About the only places where the disease now flourishes in Wayne county is in the northwestern section and in Center township."

Henry Lane Wilson, former minister to Mexico who was recalled during the war crisis, will speak at the Washington theatre, Thursday, September 28, under the auspices of the Wayne county Republicans. This was announced by County Chairman Lewis Bowman today. Mr. Wilson will devote most of his speech to the Mexican situation and will speak from the knowledge that he gained from actual experience. Mr. Bowman said that during the remainder of the fall campaign, speakers of national fame will be here at frequent intervals to address Republican meetings. Switzerland imposes a tariff on auto imports.
