In connection with the rapid approach
of the Lenten season, Bishop Robert A.
Gibson has issued the following address
TO the children Of the diocese of Virginia:
Richmond, Va, Feb. 8, 1903,
To the Children of the Diocese of Vir-
ginia:
Mr.. Dear Children.-Lent is not far
off-your Sunday school superintendent
and teachers are sending for the little
boxes in which your Lenten offerings are
to be gathered for the extension OF the
church in old Virginia.
You are asking yourselves what sell
denial you shall practice this year to
make your offering equal to that which
you gave last year.
The missionary committee is promls-
ing salaries ont of an almost empty
treasury to the clergy, on whom, after
all is said and done, the success OF the
work depends.
The treasurer is saying to the COM
mittce: "The funds are very low now,
but the children's offerings will soon
come in. You need not be afraid to give
the preachers at least enough tolive on"
And everything points to the fact that
the Bishops time has come to write you
a letter.
The Bishop likes to talk to you. 1t
is a pleasure to talk to children, and es-
pecially pleasure to talk to them about
giving. Children love to give; all people
who have tried it love to give. Giving
makes people feel large, and it
makes them feel good; and it makes
them feel as if they we're agreeable
persons. These are very pleasant feel
ings; all of them. But giving to the
spread of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ is better than any other kind Of
giving, because it is giving life Life is
the greatest gift. But our Lord Jesus
Christ is life, because he says: 81 am
tbs Life" Jesus Christ dwelling in the
hearts of people is life temporal and life
eternal. The Holy Spirit, who is the
Christ Bearer, is the Giver of Life; that
we say in the second Of the two creets in
the Prayer Book.
Now you want to give this great gift
of life to people who have very little OF
it-scarcely more than the capacity for
it, The Bible contains it; the minis
try is entrusted with it; the Sacraments
of the church, if rightly used, convey it.
What can you do? Why, send the
Bible, and support the ministry, and
see that the people get the Sacraments.
That is the work of the Diocese Mission
ary Society in Virginia, and you can
give them your money and ask them
to give all these things to the people,
that they may know Christ and thus
have life.
The Bishop asked you last year to
give one quarter of your contributions
to the Board in New York. You did it
freely, and yet you gave as much as be-
fore to this diocese | want you to do the
same this year. The board is good
board, if they are not all Virginians. |
put a great deal Of confidence in them,
and / want you to feel the same way.
Let's have strong effort and put those
who have been croaking about the Mis-
sionary Society to the blush. The
diocese must raise 81, 500 for its mis-
sions before May or else with shame be-
gin to take a lower seat.
Very truly your friend,
ROBERT A. GIBSON,
Bishop of Virginia.

ROMANCE FROM A CIGARETTE Box

ROMANCE FROM A CIGARETTE BoX.-
When Charles Sprenger, a young Color
ado millionaire who is spending a few
weeks in New York, removed the last
layer of cigarettes from box Tuesday
he found the name of Nettie Burke, 5S
Division street, written on the bottom.
Impelled by curiosity to know the iden-
tity of the girl, he followed up the adj
dress and found out that the fair writer
was a young woman of usual attractive
ness. He followed her to her place OF
business and learned that she was en-
ployed as forewoman in a Broadway
novelty store. The face Of the young
woman whose name had brought visions
in the curling smoke of his cigarette
made deep impression upon him, and
he did not regret the whim which had
actuated him to find out the personality
of the owner of the name. With the
impulsiyeness of the westerner he OBJ
tanned an introduction to Miss Burke,
and if the rumors of the tenement, where
Nettie Burke is an acknowledged belle,
are true the forewoman has chance TO
Journey westward in private car.

BRITISH TRADE LOSSES. Ben Morgan,
a member of the British Industrial Com
mission which has recently returned to
London from making an exhaustive IN
ouiry into the industrial and business
possibilities of South Africa, spoke last
night at the Royal Colonial Institute on
trade conditions in South Africa. lie
said the British manufacturers had already
lost heavily to American and German
firms, because the latter did not wait for
the country to settle down after the war,
but had representatives on the spot and
booked large orders for quick delivery
as soon as peace was declared. The
speaker contended that British goods,
however, were the best in the world, and
declared that the Afrikanders preferred
them, and only placed their orders to
foreign firms because of low prices and
quick delivery.
