Yearly Meeting in 1916 was deeply aware that as it met some of its members were in prison for conscience sake, and many others were engaged in service to relieve suffering. However, war was not the only topic discussed. The Yearly Meeting considered social issues, especially education and the impact of war on children, and looked at Social Order, planning to hold a conference on this later in the year.
