Pulsating from it's fond retreat
Into the waiting soul.
Discordant lives were tuned
In harmonizing sound.

And woke In happy smile
Despair stole from it's depth-,,is-

Great Day With the 9th
Street Baptist Church

Last Sunday was a great day in
the history of the 5th Street Bap-
tist Church; as had been published
DR.. Diggs would preach and Hon.
John Mitchell, Jr.. would act as Mas
ter of Finance. The Committee en-
deayored to assure the good people
of Richmond that the exercises
would be well worth their attend
ance. The public seemed to highly
appreciate the invitation. This was
evidenced by he large number at
tending Sunday-school and the over
How of persons who filled the church
from pulpit TO door at eleven O'Clock
service. The choir pealed forth ex-
cellent music, and well worth the
many praises that were be-spoken.
Or. J. r. l.. Diggs preached mas
terly sermon, indeed the many
friends who knew him said. Il was
tte best they had ever htard troul
such distinguished man ard

members of the 9Th Street Baptist
Church, visitors representing mem
bers of all churches. professions
and trades greeted DR.. Diggs, and
when he had concluded and came
1own from the pnlpit, he was met
by many a handshake
Hon. John Mitchell. Jr.. as Mas
ter OF Finance made one of the best
addresses we have heard along edu-
cauonal and financial lines. II is
indeed true that Hon. John Mitchell,
Jr.. was at his best. Right well did
the people rally 90 his call. for ere
the day had closed $4,000 had
been collected for education and
mission purposes. DR.. Graham, Dea-

excellent opportunity for us to show
a little charitable feeling toward our

The University needs finance and
your continued cooperation, without
these the school cannot be what Il

graduates to help make this most
commendable and praiseworthy en-

Some have pledged FIVE dollars,

more, and we hope every one will
feel that 1t is his indispensable duty
to give something.
