Society of Friends' Meeting

New York, 1895

The bicentennial of the establishment of the New York yearly meeting of the Society of Friends, will be held in the old Friend's Meeting House in Flushing on Wednesday, May 29th. It will be particularly interesting to the members of the society as well as to the descendants of those who have been members of the society. The exercises will include an historical sketch of the society from its formation down to 1828, by James Worth, of Mt. Kisco; an address by Marianna Chapman, of Brooklyn, on the "Position of Woman in the Society of Friends;" an essay by Aaron A. Powell, of New York, on "What the Society of Friends has accomplished in philanthropic work," and a poem by Mary S. Kimber, of New York.
