The meetings nrlu being held at Fourth and Arch streets. Tho Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Bt far has adheted absolutely to the freo ministry system, under whlcn the preach ing Is done by members ot meeting, In distinction to the pastoral system, under which a minister Is appointed as In other denominations. The eiuestlon wan brought up at to day's session In answer to tho "third query," In regarel lo tho moral, spirit ual nnd physical welfaro of members of meeting. William C. Allen, of Ban Jose, Cali fornia, protested agalnBt the lack of en couragement given to preacners irom among the younger generation, "It Is when a lack, of ministers occurs that the meetings turn to tho pastoral system as the only means ot saving the life of the meeting," said Mr, Alien.

M. C A. It was agreed that there was no Immediate prospect of the Philadelphia Yearly Meet ing turning to tho pastoral system, though 'there wns always tho likelihood of such action because of the difficulty of finding members who felt called to preach among some of the smaller meet ings.
