THE UNION FESTIVAL.
Rev A. BiDgs, Jr Gets Sold Aid for
His Church-The Committee

Mr.. EDITOR:
here record with feelings of pro-
found gratefulness the generous deeds
OF my many friends. Being very much
oppressed by my Church debt I called
upon my sister churches and friends
for assistance. And in order to receive
financial help without embarrassing
other churches, we proposed to hold a
Union Fair and Concert.
Accordingly we secured through the
kindness of the members of Ebenezer
Bapt. Church, Richmond, their house
of worship; and Rev. r. Wells rein
forced with the wise management and
untiring efforts of Sisters Bette

Rev. J. II. Holmes stepped forwar s
and placed his shoulders which like hid
heart are broad, under my burden and
relief was assured. But it was not re-
allied until that ever willing and low
ing band of Sisters: Nancy Anderson

SIDNEY WOODWARD.
At the Second Baptist Church

Quite an appreciative gathering greet
ed Mr.. Sidney Woodward the great pri-
mO-tenor of Boston at the 2nd BAPTIST
Church, Thursday night, January 3lst.
His voice was even in better condi-
-tion than on the proceeding night at
the 5th Street Church.
Mr.. Woodward rendered song after
song to the delight of his hearers who
rent the air with repeated applause.
He has won for himself great reputa-
ton among the music loving people of
Richmond though he did not have very
large audiences during these engage
ments. His very name in future will
mean a rare treat to crowded houses.
The Richmond Musical and Dramat-
ic Association furnished support for
him as only the Association can. The
participants mentioned in our last is
sue as having given such able support
at the 9th Street Church were program
ed for the Second Baptist Church en-
tertainment also, with the exception OF
w. A. Mitchell who was substituted by
Miss Lizzie b. Wills who appeared on
the rostrum and rendered a recitation
entitled Polish Boy. The produc-
tiOn was an excellent one and all that
was in it was thoroughly brought out
by the reciter. She bids fair to rank
high in the elOcutiOnary world. Every
member of the Association made q
ereditable showing amid rapturOus ap.
plause. We very much regret thai
space does not permit an explanatory
account of their efforts individually.
