To THE RECHABITEs OF EAT VIR-
GINA DISTRICT:

GINA O1STRlCT.
At the annual meeting of this
District held at Saxes in July, your
representatives saw fit to elect me to
the Office of Chief Ruler, an office
did not seek after but rather Stunned
from accepting, and only my love for
the temperance cause and the cause
OF Recbabism induced me to accept.
The Office carries with it a great
many cares and anXieties, and | am
going to ask you to bear some of these
with me.
Anyone who has passed the chair
Of District Chief Ruler knows that
the great anxiety OF the Chief Ruler
is that his District should be pros
porous, and know that if you share
with me this burden, this anxiety,
and respond to the call OF the Spirit
as it says: go work in My vineyard"
we shall reap such harvest as was
trict. Will you do it, Will each in
dividual Son and Daughter of
Rechabites see to it that no stone is
left unturned to advance our cause.
Brethren the fields are white unto
harvest, one mighty effort and that
harvest is ours, and we shall roll up
such a membership that we will be
proud of.
Our opportunities for doing some
thing for the, Master are many, for
nowhere are they cursed with the
saloon as are we; in Il local option
county, whisky is doing its damn
ing work despite the fact that the
people of Accomac said there should
be no saloon; even as [ write the
blood of the innocent calls from the
ground for vengeance; mothers pray
ers are ascending TO Almighty God,
praying for way for the escape of
her erring boy and all around us can
be seen the terrible effects of drink
and saloon, and my prayer is that
God will roll upon you the burden
of the sufferings OF our people and
get into the armOr and fight.
