Richmond, Ind., Sept. 30, The
second largest body of the Religious
Society of Friends In this country,
and the largest body west of Pennsyl
vania, is that which Is known as the
Indiana Yearly Meeting. It Is com
posed of more than 30,000 members
from Ohio, Indlami, Illinois and
several other states. The annual
sessjon begins In this city today, and
preparations for the event, which has
much significance In the religious
world, have already been commenced.
The history of this great society Is
filled with facts Intensely Interesting,
and It is showing that the growth of
the Friends' church throughout the
central states has been rapid and con
tinual since its birth In this country.
It is the oldest established denomi
nation In either Indiana or Ohio, and(
In fact, Is coeval with the settlement
of this part of the country. Early In
the present century three yoUmj.raen,
David Hoavcr, Jeremiah Cox vand
John Simpson, all of whom were
natives of the Carolmas, came over
land to Wayne county, taking tip
their residence In the vicinity of the
PRESENT SITE OP RICHMOND.
They were active men in the set
tling of the town, and built many of
Lthe first structures. These men were
followed to the county by many other
settlers, the majority of whom were
members of the Religious Society of
Friends, and it was. not long until
there were a sulllcient number to per
fect an oiganizatlou. In September,
1800, just nlne.ty years ago, John
Simpson called together the Friends,
and a meeting was held in the cabin
of Jeremiah Cox. There were but 25
men and women present at this first
meeting, but it was the initial move
ment toward the formation of a closer
union, and the sessions continued un
til the summer of the following year
In the cabin of Jeremiah Cox. At
this itlme Mr. Cox donated a plot of
ground for the building of a pernia
nent church, and the (structure was
constructed .entirely of logs and was
erected ;by members of the society.
In the fall -of 1807 tills meeting was
"indulged" by the West Branch meet
ing, and there were then 84 members.
In 1809 the society was named the
Whitewater Montlily Meeting. Just
previous to this, however, another
and larger building wab eroctod, ant
tliis was used as the place of worship
by the society until 1827. On the 30th
of September, 1809, the Whitewater
Meeting was opened, and It was the
first established meeting held In the
state. At this time there were
nearly 300 members, and it began to
show encouraging signs of strengtli
pnd growth.
In June of 1812 the West Branch
Quarterly Meeting was established by
the Baltimore (Md.) Yearly Meeting,
und the Whitewater Monthly Meet
ing was attached thereto, which
caused the members of the latter to
make a Journey of40 miles east Into.
Ohio, to the quarterly meeting.
THE NEW STRUCTURE
was completed, and during the lntcr
valithe society was compelled to be
content with Its crowded quarters.
In 1824 the new structure wan first oc
cupied, although in an unfinished
condition. The cost of the new bulld
jdg was about $7,000, as shown by the
old records Still jn exibienw.
the views of orthodox churches In all
of the essentials und fundamental
principles of Christianity. They be
lieve In the freedom of public worship
aud, as In the younger days of the
Christian church the ' first gospel mes
senger was a woman, the Friends be
lieve that women are called equally
iwlth men to preach- the cosnel. It
flias at least been proved in 200 years'
experience that they arc equally
emcicnt. ;
Women can bo ministers and be
none the less affectionate wives and
daughters. Theirs tW Society of
Friends' was a Gotycl of peace;
hence their members cannot enlist In
the armies of the world. If called un-
on to tight their answer should be:
'We are Christians and cannot light
It Is better to obey the laws of God
than man, and leavo the reward to
God." The society stands firmly
OPPOSED TO THE DEATH PENALTY,
BeIIe.ving that man has no right to
take that which he cannot bestow.
It also Jake strong grounds in favor
of temperance. From the earliest
days of Its history It has taught that
the traffic InJIquors Mould be res
rtlcted to Its use for medical and
mechanical purposes."
