z MEMORIAL. W1SDows foR MoSUMESTAL
CHURCH TO THE MEMORY OF RTaHr Rev.
RICHARD CLAIMING .1tooRE,: JAMES al.
GARDNER, AND w, S. sP.. 81Yo.--At the last
regular meeting OF the Yestry OF this church
|it was resolved that memorial windows
should be put in the church TO the memory
tof Bishop Moore, who was the secund BisE-
fop of Virginia and first rector OF the Monu-
Ementai church; to James a. Gardner, who
was restryman and 'Sunday-scho superin-
fendent for over forty-fye years; and to
| William S. 2. Mayo, who was also a vestry-
man and Sunday.school teacher for long
time. Bishop Moore has a strong claim on
the affection of the churchmen Of Virginia.
He came from New York In 1914 as Bishop
OF Virginia and rector OF the Monumental
church, and did more, it is said, to build up
| the church than any man connected with 1t.
Bishop Meade, in his history OF the cold
Families and Churches in Virginia" gives
many interesting events connected with
| Bishop Moore's administration, When
Bishop Moore was elected the Convention
met in small room in the Capitol, and only
nine ministers were present, showing how
| small was the ministry Of the Church in
1914. The hefoliowing paper has been adopt
ed by the vestry Of the Monumental church.
It's object will no doubt command the at
GentiOh OF tue EptScopalianSi OF the coun-
try. The committee, TO whom this subject
| is entrusted consists Of MessIs. Thomas
Potts, William II. Powers (trcasurer), and
Richard L. Meade:
"The vestry Of the Monumental church,
anxious to show their love and Yeneration
for the memory OF the late Right Rev.
Richard Charming Moore, the second
Bishop Of Virginia and first rector of the
Monumental church, combining the sacred
office OF cbief shepherd of Virginia and
pastor OF our church for long period OF
time; cherishiug these memories ourselves,
we wish to put on record an evidence OF the
same for future generations; therefore be it
g ''ResotUed, That the vestry of the Monu.
mental church will be; glad to receive from
friends and admirers OF the late Bishop
Richard Charming Moore in Virginia and
throughout the whole country-North,
South, East, aud st-contributions to aid
our congregation toward erecting a memo
rial-window in our time-honored and bis
toric church as a tit and proper memorial of
our Christian affection for the sacred memo
ry of this holy man Of God, who did so
much for our beloved Church. The open
ings OF this window consist OF three parts
large centre with two small side openings.
The memorial for Bishop Moore will occupy
the centre, and the sides memorials for two
yestrymen honored aud beloved by our
congregation" .a.o... ..t .r

sI0S--ITs WORK, &c.-The Indies conduct.
ing this enterprise have not been deferred
| from their 1abors BY the recent inclernency
I OF The weather, but rather ,seem TO be in
cited to. greater diligence In seeking out the
INDECENT and needy. From q recital oi
the great. amount Of suffering and destitu-
tion every Jay met with in the city other
ladies are coming forward to lend their aid
In ministerfng To. the wants OF the needy,
and doing all that can be done in ameliora-
ting their condition. While many Of our
|citizens have iDobly responded to the calls
made upon them in giving money, provi=
sions, &C., there Is urgent and pressing need
for more supplies. Scarcely day passes
without disclosing some hitherto unknown
caseof poverty and want-perhaps rendered
80 by sickness-and the Mission finds it
almost impossible to supply all the de-
mands made upon tit. Especially are
they In need of clothing for the poor,
and any cast-off garments will be gladly
accepted. 1t matters not il they are
"tattered and torn" Nimble fingers will
'srepair the breaches and some poorly
clad sufferer will be rendered more CON-
Portable for the gift. Those having any old
garments to dispose OF in this way can
secure proper distribution of them by
leaving them at either OF the places men,
toned below--yiz., Mrs. S. III. Price, Third
street between Cary and Canal; Mrs. G..
w. Camp. 1920 Broad street: and for Mrs.
William FL. Peasants, either at the Mission
rooms, 14i4 Franklin street, or 1904 Frank
lin street.
AS an earnest OF what will be done with
anything entrusted to them for charitable
purposes, and also showing what has been
done. we give below an abstract of their
work for two weeks ending last Friday:
There were assisted by the visitors, and
in nearly every case only on personal vista
tion, 221 families; 1868 quarts OF soup and
2,522 loares Of bread were made and dis
tributed. Thirty-fve dollars were expended
in buying suitable articles for the sick and
such as could not eat the coarser and richer
food which they distribute. Three hun
dred and fifty yards Of cotton cloth and
sixty yards Of flannel were given out in
cases where it seemed to be most needed.
Unless this charitable organization re-
ceves a cordial support from our people
there will be great suffering amongst the
poor in this community for the next few
months.
