Richnond's Honor.
we printed good news tor Richmond
In The Times-Dispnt of Sunday. 1t
vas stated In our special from Boston
that a joint committee of the two houses
Of tile General Convention OF the Epis-
copal Church unanimously voted to
recommend Richmond as the place for
the nextN meeting Of the convention in
October, 1907. That will be the, year in
which our Jamestown tTercentennry5 cele-
b,ation will Take place, and 1t Is most
appropriate that the convention should
meet at the capital Of Virginia In that
year. The members Of the convention are
most DESTROYS Of coming here. and the
only question raised was rs TO our ability
to accommodate the delegates. But there
ought to be no doubt on that score. With
Its fine hotel and boarding house facil-
comfortable entertainment, and as for
hospitality, 1t is not immodest to say that
we can and will meet any demand that
may be made upon it, Richmond will
have plenty OF time to prepare for the
entertainment of this distinguished body
and abundant preparation will be made.
we are gratified to learn that both houses
Of the convention yesterday voted to hold
the convention here.

be remembered and the monuments which
he erected in love Will stand long after
those Of his contemporaries who male
the pursuit Of riches the main object OF
