INDIANA YEARLY MEETING, CENTURY OLD,

REVIEWS ARTIVmES

IN SOCIETY, RELIGION . AND EDUCATION

' A review of the history of Indiana Friends from their settling in Warren county. O., in 1709, to the present date was presented by Harlow Lindley in an address Monday - " before the centennial session of Indiana yearly meeting. The review, in part, follows: "Late in the eighteenth century when the tide of emigration was turning from the souther, and eastern states to the new northwest, it embraced among its numbers many Friends, who for various reasons were seeking homes. "Some had become dissatisfied with the conditions of slavery about them; others saw possibilities for themselves and their children that they never could realize in the older communities. "The settlement of Friends to form the future Indiana yearly meeting began in Warren county, Ohio, in 1799. A meeting for worship was established in 1802, and the following year a preparative and monthly meeting, named Miami, was opened at Wayncsville, O. Other Meetings Open "Three additional monthly meetings were opened in 1807. Five years later West Branch quarterly meeting, composed of four quarterly meetings was set oft from Miami quarterly meeting and was opened July 13, 1812, to be alternately between West Branch, Miami county, Ohio, and Whitewater meeting, Richmond, Ind. "In the same year Baltimore yearly meeting authorized the establishment of Ohio yearly meeting which was opened at Point Pleasant, Ohio. "In 1S06, four young men, led by David Hoover, all natives of North parolina who had been living for a short time in onio, ana wno were all members of the society of Friends, or closely connected with it, located north of the present site of Richmond on the Whitewater river. Later thsy induced other friends to come from Ohio, among them Jeremiah Cox, who purchased and settled on land that afterward became a part of the city of Richmond. He appears to have been a firm and consistent Friend, 'diligent in the attendance at meetings and in every good word and work." "In the same year, John Smith, from Perquimans county. North Carolina, arrived in the near neighborhood. He was an active and useful member of the society of Friends. So

"In the fall cf 1906, John Simpson, a minister of Philadelphia yearly meeting, paid a visit to the settle ment and held a meeting in the cabin of Jeremiah Cox. 'He preached a long sermon to the hearers, who probably did not exceed 20 persons. Simpson ,no doubt, was the first Friends minister to visit Indiana. Meetings Began in 1807. "It is believed that regular meetings of the society in this settlement began in 1807. In 1809 the first monthly meeting was held and was named Whitewater. This was before Richmond was laid out The meeting was established by Miami quarterly meeting, then subordinate to Baltimore meeting, and it was the first established meeting of Friends in Indiana. "The emigration to Indiana became more rapid and new monthly meetings were established. Baltimore yearly meeting authorized a yearly meeting for Friends of Ohio and Indiana, which was to be called Ohio yearly meeting. "Early in 1920, a division of Ohio yearly meeting was asked for and a new yearly meeting established at Richmond, Ind., for friends in western Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. It was to be named Indiana yeatrly meeting. Raise Stock. "The five quarterly meetings to compose the body were directed to raise $200 stock for the new yearly meeting and he official minute of the opening reads: 'Indiana yearly meeting for the states of Indiana, Illinois and the western part of Ohio, opened and held at Whitewater meeting, Rich mond, Ind., the eighth day of tenth month. 1821.' "Since thai time Indiana yearly meeting has been held regularly in Richmond annually, excepting ona year at Marion, Ind. During these one hundred years its growth and develop ment have been maintained and though four other yearly meetings have been set off from it during that time, whose total membership is over 40,000, it still holds first rank m the number of its members among all the yearly meetings of Friends in America, and is only exceeded by one London yearly meeting in England, f Consider Meeting House "At the first session of Indiana yearly meeting arrangements were made to erect a substantial and commodius meeting house.

Sometimes you see a girl whose face draws men' s eyes like a magnet, and try to discover the reason of her charm. Is it eyes, or hair, or the way she dresses, or the things she says and does ? All this is overlooking the one all-compelling beauty all mcnadmire the irresistible charm of the fresh, clear, smooth complexion which makes even plain features attractive. There is no need to be envious, for you can easily have such a complexion yourself. The secret has been known since the time of Cleopatra How to make your skin fresh and clear To do this, use mild soap and apply it with your two hands. Massage it thoroughly into your skin and remove with many warm rinsings. Apply a touch of cold cream, and if your skin is very dry, rub in a little before washing. This treatment makes your skin fresh as a rose, with the touch of rouge and a little powder, attractive embellishments, but not necessities.

"This building was erected on the ground adjoining the original Whitewater meeting house in the north part of Richmond. The cost of this building was about $6,100. This house served Indiana yearly meeting until 1878. "It is difficult to form a correct estimate of the number of Friends In attendance at the first session of Indiana yearly meeting, but it is believed to have been not less than two thousand. "At the first session spiritous liquor was touched on as follows: 'The subject of spiritous liquors coming weight ily before this meeting. Strong Leader "The sessions of Indiana yearly meeting have been directed by a strong group of men as clerks, who were leaders in the church. "During the century 11 men have occupied this responsible position. Benjamin Hopkins served as the first clerk In 1821 and also at the sessions of 1823 and 1824. Other clerks have been, George Carter, 1822; James Pegg, 1825-1826; Elijah Coffin, 1827 to 1857, a period of thirty-one consecutive years; Charles F. Coffin, a son, 1858 to 1884, a period of twenty-seven years; Allen Terrell, 1885 to 1890; Elwood O. Ellis, 1S91 to 1903; Timothy Nicholson. 1904 to 1911; Robert L. Kelly, 1912 to 1916; Ancil Ratliff, 1917, David M. Edwards, 1918, and S. Edgar Nicholson since 1919. "During the century of its existence, Indiana yearly meeting held a prominent place among the Friends of America, and in the life of the state of Indiana. Since slavery had been one of the chief causes of the Quaker movement to the northwest, it was only to be expected that they should maintain their interest "The most active labors of the Friends in behalf of slaves were exerted in connection with the "Underground Railroad." One Friend assisted 3,000 negroes northward and another expressed regret that he had the opportunity of aiding only 2,700 PALMOLIVE SOAP The particular soap for particular people 10c. Get it at C. L.

up to the time of the emancipation proclamation was issued. "Friends were a unit in their opposition to slavery, yet they could not agree as to the best method of accomplishing the desired result and in 1843 we met the peculiar situ- j ation of a separation in the church, the conservative element standing for gradual emancipation and the radical element for immediate abolition of the system. "In the matter of education, the Friends in 1850 had worked out a regular system of education for their children. Practically every Friends community had its subscription school under the supervision of the local meeting. "The first public high school in Indiana was established in Evansville in 1850, while the Friends had at that time 12 well-organized schools doing advanced work, which would compare favorably to our modern high schools. In 1845 the Friends opened a manucl training institute at Bloomingdale, and as early as 1832 the Friends were planning for a denominational college which resulted in Earlham college. "Influential Friends played a prom inent part in securing the establishment of a , state institution for the training of public school teachers. All PALMOLIVE SOAP THE universal toilet soap.
