AMERICA EXPECTED TO SUPPORT DRY LAW AS WORLD EXAMPLE SAYS ENGLISH FRIEND
I "English Friends are looking to r America to set the great example for I world-wide prohibition and they Bintcerely hope that you here will not fall them." said John Henry Barlow, distinguished Friend of London Yearly Meeting at the Five Years Meeting session Friday morning. "They want to know how prohibition Is working over here and what the great mass of Americans think in this i regard. I personally should like to ' have the assurance to take back home ! with me that the American public .'opinion la going the right way and !that there is no danger that probibt- ! tion will receive anv decided Betback.
( "We, of England, will have to admit j that we are bebJnd America In the promotion of temperance in all things. We : look to America as our star of hope and feel sure that what you have done here can be done at home. We are
counting on you to sustain your action don't fail us now and leave us bereft
of our hopes." Commends Work.
"The education of your young people to the wickedness of strong drink
Is one big method which I think you
will be judicious in adopting. Be on your guard, for vigilance is the price
of freedom.
This statement of the English position in regard to prohibition was made in the discussion following the
report of S. Edgar Nicholson, of Washington, who is chairman of the
board of nrohibition.
Timothy Nicholson, president of the Indiana Anti-Saloon league, addressed the meeting and asked that the members do all in their power to revive
th interest in nrohibitlon legislation
In his short talk, he stated that he
thinks there is a powerful organiza
tion at work against the Eighteenn
amendment and flayed the prohibition
poll of the Literary Digest as a pari of the plan to abolish the prohibition action of our government. . Mr. Nicholson contended that only those who were thought to be for the use of light wines and beer were sent
ballots In the poll ana tne prout
bitlonlsts were left out. At the request of the clerk of the meeting all thnr.A who had voted in the Digest

Edgar Nicholson, chairman of the board, be sent to the convention of the World League Against Alcoholism which Is to be held in Toronto, Canada, Nov. 24 to 99 The stand taken by the Five Years Meeting in regard to prohibition was affirmed when the following resolution was presented and approved by the meeting: " "Be it resolved by the Five ears Meeting of Friends in America that we re-affirm our belief in the policy of prohibition of the liquor traffic as being the only , right attitude of governments toward such an evil to society and to the state. Protest Against Change
"We protest strongly against any uroairtmiTiir nf the Volstead and other
enforcement acts which are designed
not only to give vitality to an important article of the federal constitution
but to nurify the social order from
nn fa nation and debauchery of a
system which can have no legitimate place in the life of a moral people. "We stand for the observance and the enforcement of the laws which prohibit the traffic in strong drink and call upon all officers who are clothed with executive and judicial authority to administer these laws with impartial justice to the end that the iife of the nation may have full opportunity for the enjoyment of happiness and prosperity that is vouchsafed by the preamble of our national constitution. Stand on Candidates ; "We encourage our members to support no candidate for public office who favors a return to the liquor sys
tem and who is not ready to support the requirements of his official obligations in the suppression and inhibition of the outlawed traffic in intoxicating liquors." The report of the business meeting Friday morning contained a recommendation that the Bible school board of the Five Years Meeting be absolved into two boards, namely, the Publication board and the Board on Religious Education. The recommendation provided that the former shouM have seven members, one of whom
should be the president of the latter. There was a difference of opinion in the discussion of the recommendation as to the practicability of the change in the organization and the matter was left open until the Friday evening meeting. Combined zeal in prohibition enforcement was advocated by S. Edgar
Nicholson, chairman or the prohibition board. He said: "It, is a matter of disappointment
that a few of the yearly meetings have abandoned their temperance committees by merging their work with other interests under some such general name as a public welfare committee. In our judgment this is detrimental to the cause. The prohibition issue is not yet settled. In keeping with the general lawlessness of the whole liquor traffic, as demonstrated throughout its existence, even now in face of the Eighteenth Amendment and all the laws which have been enacted for its enforcement, the friends of the traffic are manifesting a lawless spirit and a persistence in their attempts to nullify existing legislation that is little short of anarchistic. Until the oppon
ents of prohibition cease their activity
and abandon their organized ettorts in behalf of anarchy, not only every yearly meeting but every monthly meeting should maintain intact its temperance committee under am me that will indicate clearly the object of its appointment, in order to be ready for service at any and all times that will aid in the permanent establishment of the prohibition cause." : The report on Young Friends' activities indicated that the chief work during the past five years was

accomplished in conjunction with the United Society of Christian Endeavor; through annual conferences, literature and school and college organization.
Defines Religious Education Religious education is, in brief, the
endeavor to get God in all His fullness in to the lives of individuals,"
said Edgar H. Stranahan in Ms ad
dress before the Five Years meeting
Thursday evening. "Such a program will include the endeavor: (1) to in
struct In those things a Christian
ought to know of and about the Bible;
(2) to win to an acceptance of Jesus
as a personal Savior and Lord; (S)
to prepare for efficient membership In
the church, God s agency for world re
demption; (4) to discover and enlarge
the individual capacity for Christian
leadership in the. Sunday school
church end community; (5) to teacn the Jesus way of living as it relates
to self and to all others. "The Christian is convinced tha
only such lives as are thus educated can be leaders in Kingdom move
ment.". Bible School Report
Prior to the address of Mr. Strana-j han the report of the Bible school board was made. The general report itself was presented by William J. Sayers, secretary, who outlined the work of the Friends in the Bible school field. He stated that, after a survey of the field, the board members felt that the great need was for the publication of Bible school literature that would meet the requirements of Frinds. Unanimous approval by all delegates was given at the afternoon session of the Five Years Meeting Thursday to the recommendation of the business committee which removes from the records of the church a clause stating that the Richmond Declaration of Faith should not be considered as a creed. Recommendation In Report Rufus M. Jones, of Philadelphia, chairman of the business committee included the recommendation in the report of his committee. The declaration of faith of the Friends is contained in the Uniform Discipline, namely, "The Essential Truths," "The Declaration of Faith" issued by the Richmond conference of 1887 and "George Fox's Letter to the Governor of Barbadoes." Although these doc
uments were considered as the best
authorities on the faith of Friends the
statement was made in one of the
documents that the statements included therein should not be taken to constitute a creed. Some thought this
clause should be removed while others contended that to take it out would bind Friends to a creed. Upon the presentation of the unanimous decision of the business board in the matter along with its recommendation, Frank W. Dell, pastor of the Whittier, Calif., meeting, spoke in favor of the measure and moved to approve the recommendation of the committee. Other Speakers He was followed by Timothy Nicholson, Louis I. Stout, of Western Yearly Meeting; James Wood, of New York;
Thomas Brown, of Philadelphia; Edwin Stanley, of Kansas Yearly Meeting; Lindley Clark, of Washington; Lewis McFarJand, of North Carolina; S. Edgar Nicholson, of Washington; Stephen Hadley and Levi T. Penning, ton, all endorsing the recommendation. The recommendaiion of the business committee was approved by standing vote. Following is the recommendation accepted:
We recognize with profound sorrow that there is "in the world today a great drift of religious unsettlement, unconcern and unbelief. We desire at this time to call our own membership to a deeper religious life, a greater consecration of heart and will
to God and a more positive loyalty to the faith for which so many of our forerunners suffered and died. We wish to reaffirm the statements , and declarations of faith contained in our Uniform Discipline, viz., 'The Essential Truths,' 'The Declaration of

The statement adds that freight traf

Faith' issued by the Richmond con-! ference In 1887 and 'George Fox's Letters to the Governor of Barbados" and we urge upon all our membership to refresh their minds by a careful reading of these documents which gather up and express the central truths for which we stand, now as in the past. But we would further remind our membership that our Christian faith involves more than the adoption and profession of written statements however precious they may be. It stands and lives only in free personal loyalty and devotion to a living Christ and in an inward experience ff His spiritual presence and power in the soul, making the facts of our religion as real and as capable of being ' soundly tested as. are the
facts of the physical universe. Mayi Friends everywhere hear in their
bodies the marks of the Lord Jesus. "Increase in Faith." "Hardly less important for the promotion of our spiritual influence and power in the world is an increase of faith, trust and confidence in one another, a love that suffers long and is kind and a unity of spirit which will bind us more closely together than uniformity of thought could ever do. "In the light of the above state in which we unite and since the clause which was adopted ten years ago stating that these declarations of faith are not to be egarded as constituting a creed (minute number 37, page 49 minutes of 1912) has been widely mis
understood jn at least two directions, it is our judgment that this clause should now be eliminated.
"We recommend that this meeting instruct its Publication Board to issue in attractive form an edition of these documents as the authorized Declaration of Faith of the Five Years Meeting of Friends in America, using as a preface the above statement." , Coroner Investigates Killing Of Boy By Sheriff XENIA, Ohio, Sept. 8. The coroner Is expected to begin his inquest late today into the shooting in which Lincoln Funderberg, sheriff, and three deputies killed one boy and wounded three others in the belief that they were bandits.

Poultry Culling Shown On Walter Beeson Farm WEBSTER, Ind., Sept. 8. An audience of more than 40 watched the cul

The demonstration was given by J. L. Dolan, county agricultural agent. Out of 125 birds in the flock, 40 "No. 1" hens were selected, and very few culls were found. The good care, and especially the liberal feeding policy on the farm were given the credit by
Mr. Dolan for the excellence of the Hock. Another demonstration was to be held Friday afternoon on the farm of Ora 'Howell, in Dalton township.
