A METHODS MASS MEETING,
Efforts Made TO Pay or the Debt on the
s. James Church

A large and interesting mass-meetlng
of the Methodists Of Richmond was held
Sunday evening at Centenary church in
the interest OF ST. James Methodist
church which needs financial aid.
All the other Methodist churches were
closed, and the congregation filled every
space in the large building.
The excellent quartette choir, under the
direction OF Mr.. Shepherd Webb. sung
in A superb manner the musical selections
for the evening, consisting OF the ''Juhi-
lata Deo." by Bradshaw, the short TIE
Deum i'm 4. by Deibel; Hear. ., Father
by Nicode, and several hymns.
The services were opened with prayer
by Rev. J. Il. Whitley. DR.. Sledd briefly
stated the purpose of the meeting, and
introduced Or. Whitehead. the presiding
elder, who, In an informal way. interest
ingly described the several Methodist
churches on Church Hill. and their re-
Iation 10 the Genomina tior al field OF work
i'm that end of the city. He set forth the
correctional system between the Metho-
dist churches. an called on those pres
ent, as Methodists. and rot as members
of any one particular church. TO assume
the debt on st. james church and free
il Of the difficulty that threatens it.
Rev. Dr. w. j. Young, of Park Place
Methodist church, spoke next. and made
a peculiarly earnest and eloquent APP
peal for the struggling organization at
81. James church.
The statement made was that ST.
James is under debt OF $500, and that
if the Methcdists of Richmond would
assume 5000 OF this amount the little
band at St. James would shoulder the bal
ance OF $3.50.
A subscription was taken up, and In the
neighborhood of $1,000 pledged for the
purpose. Efforts will be made privately
among the Methodists OF the city 10 raise
the balance necessary.
When ST. James church was built 1t
had the backing OF a wealthy man. and
il was his intention to assume whatever
financial responsibility the congregation
was unable 10 carry. Against some OPP
position the church was built and the
trustees, having the promise of a man so
well able TO pay for 1t. felt justified In
erecting the present building. This lib
