John Randolph, of Roanoke. AS a
Confederate soldier, he served in the
Army of Northern Virginia. He was
made Bishop Coad1utor in 1906 and, in
every line and verse of what he has
written, throbs the feeling and sellti-
| ment that individualizes him as n
man mindful of the traditions of his
race and stepped in passion of loyal
| ty to Virginia, the State of his birth.
