DISCIPLINE DISCUSSED.
Proposition To Revise the Friends’
Text Book of Faith.
THE MATTER REFERRED TO A
SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
Bible Teaching, Temperance Legislation
and 31ember*blp Statistics Considered
at Yesterday’s Sessions of the New
England Friends* Yearly 3Ieeting.
Refreshed by a Sabbathday's rest from
business cares and responsibilities, the
Friends of New England flocked to yes
terday’s meetings in large numbers, and
conducted with close attention and de
spatch the business matters on the day’s
calendar.
The 8.30 devotional meeting was espec
ially well attended and filled with re
ligious fervor.
After a brief devotional service at 10
O’clock, Isom P. Wooten, of Iowa, ad
dressed the meeting in reference to a cor
respondence course.
Matilda W. Atkinson, a minister of
Iowa, was introduced to the meeting and
was cordially welcome.
The committee to whom was referred
the proposition of the Fairfield quarterly
meeting, that the choice of representa
tives from quarterly meeting to the year
ly meeting be on a basis of membership,
reported, recommending that each quar
terly meeting be allowed to appoint five
representatives, and an additional repre
sentative for very 200 members or frac
tion thereof.
This recommendation was discussed at
some length. It was suggested, by one
speaker in favor of the plan, that under
the present system the large number of
representatives in attendance at a yearly
meeting makes too unwieldy a body; that
instead of the 146 present at this meeting
the proposed plan would allow the rep
resentation of only 70 or 75, who could
more readily transact the business of the
meeting.
Most of the remarks on the matter were
in favor of the acceptance of the report,
and the clerk’s record announcing the
adoption of the proposition was approved
The same committee, to whom was re
ferred a suggestion that the term “repre
sentative” be changed to “delegate,” rec
ommended that instead of the proposed
change the executive session of represen
tatives be known as “an executive meet
ing. This recommendation, after an
extended discussion, was also adopted.
The annual report of the Bible school
committee was next submitted. From
tho 66 schools reports wore received from
44, reprsenting a membership of 3,138;
collections, $2,035.06. In the primary de
partment 44 schools reported a totals
membership of 647, a gain of 204 members
during the year.
Accompanying this report was a finan
cial statement for the year, showing total
receipts of $191.13; balance in treasury,
$71.
In the discussion of these reports the
suggestion was made by Osborn J. Hoff
man, of Sidney, that the
Friends’ lesson quarterly be used in all
the Sunday schools in the quarterly meet
ings. Many of the schools are using oth
er denominational quarterlies.
Clara Binford, "of Saco, believed in
using Friends’ publications so far as is
possible, but in her opinion the Friends’
quarterly is not quite up to date in com
parison with those of some other denomi
nations.
This brought out remarks from many
to the effect that if the Friends’ denomi
national publications are used exclusive
ly in the Bible schools, the publication
society will have more means with which
to improve the quarterly. Especially
pointed were the remarks of Phoebe R.
Gifford, of Providence, aged 94 years.
the oldest minister in the Friends’ de
nomination in New England. She was
attired in full Quaker costume, black
gown, with black hood and white ker
chief. Her voice was wonderfully vol
uminous and clear.
The committee on finance reported,
through its secretary, total contributions
of $1,815.68, a decrease of $322.43 from the
receipts of last year. This decrease
seemed to be quite generally distributed
among the various quarterly meetings. A
few, however, contributed in excess of the
amounts assessed against them.
In the discussions of this financial
statement stress was laid on the import
ance of sending in promptly reports of all
contributions, in order that there should
be no omissions in the annual statements.
Several testimpnies were offered incom
mendation of the working of the envelope
system of collections.
These totals are taken from the tab
ulated statistical reports. Number of
ministers in the yearly meeting, 119;
slders, 287; associate members, 146; mem
bers in regular standing, 4,496; children
from four to twelve years, 406; children
between twelve and twenty-one, 395;
children at school, 5C0; in colleges, 27.
AFTERNOON MEETINGS.
A public meeting on Bible schools occu

pied the time from 2 till 3.39, a “chalk
talk” by N. S. Gleet, of Somerville,
Mass., being a special feature of the ser
vice.
At 3.30 the conduct of business was re
sumed, the question of a revision of the
book of discipline being first considered.
This matter was first brought up at the
meeting of one year ago being brought
forward without any definite action, ex
cept to authorize the various quarterly
meetings to select each two Friends to
serve on a committee of revision this year.
Robert P. Gifford, of Rhode Island,
said the quarterly meeting he represents
is in favor of a reprint of the discipline,
but not necessarily a revision.
Dr. Trueblood of Boston, said in some
ways the Friends have outgrown some
parts of the discipline. He wished to see
an expunging of the obselete clauses. He
should very much deplore the day when
the Friends should regard the declaration
of faith and the present rules of practice
as too sacred to be touched. He wanted a
discipline that he could live up to and
obey a revision that would bring the book
up to sympathetic touch with the spirit
of the church of today. He wished the
statement of faith to be brief, concise and
easily understood.
A, C. Goddard said that for the sake of
the younger members coming in, the
discipline should be revised. Some of the
clauses in the present book are not under
stood by young people without an inter
pretation of it by some Quaker relative.
Joseph Atwater of Providence, advo
cated a digest of the present discipline
and the amendments thereto, rather than
a x’evision.
G. L. Crosman of Lynn, believed the
best disposal of the matter would be to
refer the matter to the committee nomi
nated by the quarterly meetings, and let
that committee report next year.
Gertrude W. Cartland of Newburyport,
advocated a strict adhesion to the old
discinline. The Trmttjyp nf dmnlinitv nf
dress, one of the clauses to which some of
the modern ideas -ake objection, was
never more needed than in the present
times of extravagant living. She depre
cated any attempt to lower the old stan
dard of methods of practice to meet the
views of anybody, who through weakness
or otherwise, are unable to live up to the
discipline.
Clerk Paige said the matter has been
under consideration a year, and he hoped
the members would give voice simply to
their choice, rather than to an argument
upholding it.
Others who spoke on the matter were
George A. Wing of Fairfield, Phebe S.
Aydelott of Fall River, Robert P. Gifford
of Providence, Edward G. Wood of Lynn,
Anna Wood of New Bedford, Olney T,
Meader of Boston, William Beale of Fox
boro, Herbert Goddard of Worcester.
The prevailing opinion was that the
matter should be referred to a committee,
and that course was resorted to.
The committee on suppression of the
liquor traffic submitted a report of the
work done by that committee in the line
of distribution of temperance literature,
the holding of lectures, the celebration of
Neal Dow day, union meetings with other
temperance organizations, etc. The total
receipts were $133.93.
The consideration of this report brought
out vigorous temperance sentiment. Ad
dresses were given by Lucy A. Snow of
Windham, Isom P. Wooton of Iowa,
David E. Sampson of North Carolina,
Emeline H. Tuttle of Dover, James P.
Price of Oregon, Stephen Swett of Law
rence, Amos M. Kenworthy of Indiana,
and others.
The committee on freedmen reported on
the work of the normal school at Mary
ville, Tenn., and submitted a financial
statement relating thereto. The report
was approved and the request for an ap
propriation referred to the finance com
mittee.
A report of the trustees of the George
Sturge, Benjamin F. Knowles and Henry
Camp funds was presented and approved.
In the evening an interesting meeting
was held under the auspices of the
Woman’s Foreign Missionary society.
Today’s calendar is as follows: Devo
tional meeting at eight, business session
at ten, public meeting for worship at two,
meeting of committee on Mosher fund
and peace at four, public meeting on
peace and arbitration at 7.30.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Whittier’s Comedians.
Last evening Whittier’s Comedians, a
repertoire company that has obtained a
great popularity in New England ap
peared at Portland theatre in Bartley
Campbell’s familiar drama of “The Gaily
Slave.” The house was a phenomenal
one for this time of the year. The balcony
and gallery were packed and only a very
few seats down stairs in the rear of the
house, were unoccupied. There was a
large lobby.
The company gave great delight to the
audience, for there was constant applause
and at times the house rang with laugh
ter. There are several strong people in
the troupe, noticeably the leading man,
Carroll Daly, who took the part of Sidney
Norcott, and who was seen here with the
exceptionally fine company that intro
duced the play to a Portland audience
several seasons ago; Miss Edith Ives, who
took the part of Cicily Blaine, and Hugh
J. Gibson as the Baron. In the second
act Miss Ives first gave evidence of her
strength in effective situations, and in
the third act, the scene in which Norcott
comes to an understanding with Cicily,
immediately after her marriage to the
Baron, Miss Ives and Mr. Daly were very
strong. In fact, Mr. Daly’s acting in
the scene possessed much merit from its
naturalness. These are but two of the
scenes out of many, in which both of
these actors are to be praised. Mr. Gibson
looked the Baron, and gave an excellent
representation of the character, while
Miss Jessie Burnett deserves a good word
for her Francisca. The other characters
were fairly assumed. Mr. John E. Kel
ley as Dr. Oliphant, Mr. Richard P.
Crolins as Fitts, and Miss Kittie Ed
wards as Psyche were amusing.
Between the acts there were specialties
introduced, not of a very high order, but
they pleased the audience. Among them
was a trombone solo, several topical songs
and one of Sol. Smith Russell’s old
maid songs, The specialists were Miss
Kitty Edwards, Messrs. Crolins, Kelley,
Farrell, Raymond and Teasler.
“Rip Van Wrinkle” will be given at
the matinee today and “A Wicked City”
in thft p.vp.h inir.
Pavilion Theatre.
Threatening weather in no wise abated
the great interest taken in the opening
of the 10th dramatic season of Bartley
McCullnm at the Peaks Island tlieatro,
and last night an enthusiastic audience
packed the theatre and greeted with a
warm welcome the splendidly selected
stock company which will occupy the
boards at this favorite resort during the
coming season. All of the old favorites
met genuine applause and many
beautiful floral pieces were passed over
the foot lights as familiar faces appeared.
The dramatized story, “A Social High
wayman,” an adaptation of the novel of
Elizabeth Phipps Train, a strong society
comedy in four acts, was presented. A
New York clubman, possessed of the
power of sleight of hand, deftly uses it
to secure a competence by theft, taking
advantage of the opportunities which
the fashionable world afforded him. His
love for a pure woman can never be re
quited on account of his character, and
although his thefts for a time are fast
ened upon an innocent rival, in the end
he confesses and meets suddenly
death. Around this plot cluster charm
ing society scenes which afford opportuni
ty for the display of beautiful and elabo
rate costumes which make an attractive
setting to the story and action of the
play. Wm. H. Pasco in the leading role
of Courtice Jaffray, acquired a great suc
cess by his studied, finished and effective
personation. Bartley MCullum’s pro
trayal of tho valet was strikingly good
and his artistic treatment made the
character a leading feature of the enter
tainment. Tho supporting cast of male
chaiacter was exceptionally good and
their performance generally meritorious.
Miss Genevieve Reynolds assumed the
role of the Duchess with dignity and
force and gave evidence of great reserved
dramatic power. Miss Leigh was charm
ing as of yore. Miss Maude Winter cap
tivated the audience, by her pleasing per
sonality, and the naivete and symplicity
of her acting. She is a great acquisition
to Mr. McCullum’s company. Miss Rob
ertson as the medium, furnished a fine
piece of acting, while Miss Hall was cer
tainly cunning in the character of Dora
La Farge. Miss Ingram showed vivacity,
grace and dash in the personation of
Mrs. Plye. The selections on the piano
were well chosen and cleverly rendered.
Much was expected from this company,
made up of persons whose reputations
have been fully established on Metropoli
tan boards and those expectations were
fully realized as evidenced by the gener
ouse applause which was accorded. The
season was opened in a manner which
bespeaks continued success. A Social
Highwayman will be presented each
night during the present week and at
the matinees on Wednesday and Saturday.

By order of the commodore, a special

with a repetition of Gods promises.

LORD, remember David, and all his
afflictions:
2 How he sware unto the Lord, and
rowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
3 Surely I will not come into the taber
raele of my house, nor go up into my
red;
4 I will a not give sleep to mine eyes, or
slumber to mine eyelids,
5 Until I find out a place for the Lord,
an habitation for the mighty God of
Jacob.
6 Lo, we heard of it 6 at Ephratah: we
sound it din the fields of the wood.
7 tVe will go into his tabernacles: we
vill worship at his footstool.
8 Arise, 'O Lord, into thy rest; thou,
ind the ark of thy strength.
9 Let thy priests/be clothed withright
iousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not
iway the face of thine anointed.
11 The Lord hath sworn in truth unto
David; ho will not turn from it; oOf the
'ruit of 2 thy body will I set upon thy
hrone.
12 If thy children will keep my covenant
iuu my testimony tnat 1 snail teacn tnem,

13 For the Loud hath chosen Zion; he
lath desired it for his habitation.

15 I will 3 abundantly bless her provi
