FRIENDS' CENTENNIAL PAGEANT MARKS END OF YEARLY MEETING

The lOlet conference of Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, largest and most influential of the Quaker bodies of the wold, closed Monday with a centennial anniversary celebration recalling in pageant and in speeches a century of growth. The

formal celebration was conducted in

the morning in East Main Street Friends church, where the body has

met annually since 1878. Here 92-

year-old Timothy Nicholson, "the

grand old man of Quakerism," presided, while speakers reviewed the past

and told of the future of the church. Prof. Harlow Llndley of Earlham col-J lege read a paper narrating ' the history of Indiana Yearly Meeting and Prof. Rufus Jones of the Haverford college faculty spoke on "The Future of Quakerism." A pageant depicting Incident of the body's development was held later in the day on the campus of Earlham college. 150 to Participate. More than 150 Quakers, garbed in the regulation attire of the old Friends' discipline, took part in the pageant the first time that historical incidents of the denomination have been presented in this manner in the middle west. "The Pageant of Service" was written by Estelle Simms Hewson of this city with the assistance of advisers. The pageant opened with an introduction by a Quaker boy and girl dressed in old-time Quaker costumes. "The Setting Off" the first scene, showed the organization of the meeting here in 1821. Attention was paid to the S3 quarterly meetings that have belonged to the Yearly Meeting in the next scene, and the 15 quarterly meetings of the present organization appear as fne pcene closed. "The Indian Concern" showed how the Quakers began mission work among the Shawnee Indians at Wapakoneta, O., in 1821, and "Following the Trail" told of present work among the Western tribes. Under "The People of Color" a close connection on the underground railway system, by which Quakers helped thousands of slaves to freedom, is presented, in which runaway slaves are helped to the Grand Central station of Levi Coffin at Fountain City, nine miles north of here. The origin of Southland institute, a Quaker school to train colored persons, was included in the next scene. "Foreign Missions," the "Richmond General Conference, 1887-1894." "The Five Years Meeting. 1902," "First Day Schools," "Earlham," "A Service of Love in War Time. 1917-1921." followed, the pageant closing with the singing of a recessional hymn. Return to Old Beliefs "The world with its load of tragedy and its burden of sin and sorrow,

needs to be brought back home to the God and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ," declared Rufus M. Jones of Haverford college, Monday. "We need again to proclaim the God of all patience and tenderness, who suffers long and Is kind, who pursues with a love that never lets go. A Quakerism that sounds that truth sincerely and vfvldly has-'a future and will meet with a great response," h3 declared. "Two hundred years ago, we were better than most people knew or suspected; now we lag behind the estimate which has been passed upon us by a world grateful for our work of relief and reconstruction. Theories Are Not Enough "We are thankful as we should be, for the appreciation which has been bestowed bin we do well to feel very humble In the face of the immense expectations with which a weary and disillusioned world is turning toward us. Economic theories, even goo'i ones, are not enough for this situation. Panaceas of social enthusiasts will not

bring the new world that is longed for , "No world is safe for democracy or for any free co-operative ways of life until the men and women who compos it have been spiritually trained and disciplined. Naturalism, materialism, commercialism, Imperialism, all move straight on toward the kini of collapse and debacle which has staggered our generation. Must Change Sfciety "Let no one suppose that leagues cf nations, disarmament conferences, cr 'scraps of paper of any kind that can be patched up will do the business for

us and guarantee a future of peace and tranquility for the world. The units that compose society must be changed in heart and fiber. "Labor must be dignified ar to promote and foster personal... Religion must be raised to its true place as the great spring of inspiration, power and joy."

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 15. A nation-wide clean-up of government claims growing out of word war service will begin on Labor Day, it has been announced at national headquarters of the American Legion. Flying squads representing the Legion, the public health service and the Red Cross simultaneously will sweep through each state for the purpose of securing satisfactory adjustment of all government cases. Immediate examinations will be given and prompt hospitalization arranged for urgent cases.

RECESS FOR (Continued from Page One.) opportunity of devoting its entire time to the work for one month. It Is recalled that Joseph P. Griffin, president of the Chicago board of trade, recently complained that "much of our legislation is not the result of

intelligent deliberation, but rather an attempt to appease the demands or the wrath of elements of our -population."- " ' 0t time for "intelligent de"v of legislation is general.0arded, however, as the principal

cause for the enactment or poorly constructed laws. The practice of flooding congress with legislation is in sharp contrast with the system which prevails in the British parliament. During a session of 14 months, ending in January, 1916. there were presented to the British parliament 231 bills. During a nine months' session, end

ing September. 1916, there were introduced into the American congress 25,731 bills and resolutions. During a typical five-year period, from 1901 to 1905, parliament enacted 1,500 statutes. In the same period congress and the legislatures of the several states passed over 45,000 measures.
