THE SCOPE OF THE INSTITUTION.
DIR. James %. Taylor VIII at Once Resign
His Pastoral Charge and Devote His
Time to the Orphanage.

SALEM, VA, July 6.-Special.-The
The trustees OF the Baptist Orphanage.
OF virginia, have just closed their semi
annual meeting, after nearly two days OF
arduous labor. 1t was strictly business
meeting and various measures were
adopted looking 10 the Increased efficiency
of the humane institution. Rev. DR..
Hatcher. Of Richmond, the president OF
the board Or. Woodnn and Henry
schmel. OF Hampton. and Mr.. Hunt Har-
grave of Chatham, were present.
The most notable action of the Board
was its decision TO inaugurate at once,
measures for equipping the Industrial
building, removing the existing debt ana
making such additions and engagements
as are rendered necessary by the steadily
increasing number of inmates.
MACHINERY NECESSARY. !
Quite number Of the boys are now
large enough to be trained in mechanical
arts and the trustees feel that the need
OF machinery is imperative. The con-
slant presence of the superintendent at
the orphanage cannot be dispensed with,
and thus far comparatively little has
been done TO impress the Baptists OF Nir-
ginia with the needs Of the institution.
IL was determined that the claims of
this great enterprise should be presented
an over the state. and DR.. James b.
TAYLOR, for several years the honOred ana
successful pastor of the Salem Baptist
church. was urgently invited 10 under
take this work. This action was "A great
surprise 10 the Doctor. but after several
DAYS Of reflection he has accepted the
invitation.
DIR. TAYLOR'S WORK.
The trustees are greatly delighted In
view Of this arrangement and feel that
IL marks an epoch in the history Of this
holy charity DR.. Taylor is greatly be-
loved by the Baptists Of Virginia. and his
friends believe that he has rare adapta-
ton for this peculiar work.
II is understood that he will at once
resign his pastoral charge. and this VIII
be sorrowful event TO his devoted peo-
pie in Salem. Indeed. he is beloved and
honored throughout our valley. and his
retirement will be regretted by multi
tudes.
