There was quite an appreciative con-
gregati0n at the Fourth Baptist Church
on last Sunday morning despite the
inclemency Of the weather, to listen to
DIR. p. + Morris, ID. D., OF Lynchburg,
Va, who has been IN the city making
strenuous efforts, ar1 endeavoring TO
get the cooperation of the ministers
and leading business men to subscribe
for the purpose Of consolidating the
Lynchburg Seminary, the Richmond
Theological Seminary and the Harts-
horn Memorial College; the building
to be erected in this city. He preach
ed an able, but scholarly sermon much
to the delight and edification OF those
present. He further pointed out the
Indifference and opposition manifested
on the part of many OF cur people in
condemning the grand project and
even the promise Of help by Drs. Nor
gan and McVicar OF the Baptist Home
Mission Society were OF no avail.
