MEETING IN THE INTEREST OF THE BIBLE
CAUsE.-A well-attended meeting OF men,
bers Of various denominations interested in
the Virginia Bible Society was held in the
Seventh-Strect Christian church on Sunday
night. Among the clergymen present who
took an active part in the proceedings were
Rev. Moses D. Hoge, D. D., president OF
the Virginia Bible Society; Rev. Joshua
Peterkin, D. D., Of st. James church Rev.
W. E. Judkins, pastor Of Trinity Methodist
Episcopal church; Rev. Joseph q. Tyler, OF
the Seventh-Street Christian church; and
Rev. M. w. Staples, secretary OF the Bible

doing so mentioned that there would be an
other meeting held in the interest OF the
Bible Society at Trinity (Metlodist) church
on Sunday night next.
The first speaker was. Rev. Mr.. Judkins,
whose address was very interesting and IN
structive, and listened to with marked at
tention. In the course Of his remarks blr.
.Judkins stated that during the past year
the cash receipts of the Society had been
only $1,000 in the State. He thought that
Richmond alone, with her ten thousand pro.
Tossing Christians, ought to give thatamount,
which would be at the rate Of ten cents an
nually from each church-member.
Rev. DR.. Peterkin, an old friend OF the
Bible Society, and one who is always well
coined as speaker, made one of his practl-
cal and striking addresses; after which col
lections were made, and about thirty new
members OF the Society added to the roll.
The Board OF Managers of the Society
have adopted the plan Of annual-member
ships in order to increase the revenue
Upon the payment of two dollars any per
son is constituted yearly member; ane
one half Of this amount is returned to sucf
member in the shape of Bibles and Testa
ments, which can be distributed among
those who are destitute OF the Bible or ir
Sunday schools where they are needed. ant
the other dollar is used by the Society in its
charitable work.

judicious Advertising.

The Springfield Rrpnbliran pub
fishes cdi,oIIa,lN the following sen.
siblc remarks on advertising:
"l;eiorms OF all kinds seem to be
in fashion. The reaction from the
craze of speculation and imitation
and politics and low moral standing
brings with it application of good
sense and economy, of better NOR.
ais and higher tone and soberer
views of things, in nearly all de.
partments of life. One OF the out
groupings of this new fashion of
common sense is in the business of
advertising-a looping of of the
mere expensive and sensational and
vulgar modes of putting the things
to sell before the attention of the
person who buys.
The reform was we'll voiced ut a
late meeting of the stove mannfnc-
turers, where the president de-
nounced the infective and expeH-
sive advertising that has been much
| INDUCED in by the trade, the taw
dry autographs and other sensa
tioual machinery, and recommend
ell instead the more exclusive use
of the best newspapers. If We
would make the best possible use
of our money! he continued, I'VE
should patronize ably conducted
and responsible newspapers. The
newspaper is UNNECESSARILY the
best medium open to our tradei tho
most liberal and expert advertiser
testify to it's value, and in the EN-
ployment of its columns VIC would
and a means of escape from waste
full, uudignified and infective meth
dds, to which so many resort il
their eagerness to secure attention
aud patronage"
