A WORD OF CHEER TO THE DOWNCAsT.

WORD OF CHEER TO THE DOwNCAsT.
We used to speak of an epidemic of suicide
sweeping the country now and then. but OF late
the trouble seems to have reached chronic
state Each days news brings Its list of unfor-
tunates weary of lfe rashly mportunate, gone
to their death"
An inquiry into the cause indicates to our
mind that men are losing their grip upon the
old-time faith--fath in the reality, value, and
perpetuty of the things that are not seen. Men
are emphasizing the visible and tangible and
overvaluing the material SO that when physical
or material disaster comes upon them, having
40 faith In the spiritual mo kindly light that
leads amid the encircing gloom despair seizes
them, and under its impulse they seek relief in
death.
The antidote for suicide is the development Of
faith. To hold that here is an overruling Prov
idence-a wisdom, power and grace divine that
superintends and directs the lives Of men and
designs their ultimate good. and employs the ca
tastrophies of the present In the creation Of char
acter and the carving of destny--this faith will
inspire and strengthen !nea te endure +her His
and woes OF the present moment.
A glimpse OF the great heart OF Hou-iuh Oh
tenderness and sympathy-sueh vision as
comes to genuine faith, will put new courage
and new hope in the heart and will send men
forth to the burdens and responsibilities and
trials of each day with the determination
20 play the man and fight good fight. hoping
spc believing that to- murrow brings the sun
SHINE AMI the song.
Should these lines meet the eyes of any man
discouraged and espairng-compassed by
clouds and facing the dark, let them encourage
him to look up
at matters not how deep entrenched the wrong.
How hard the battle goes, the day how long.
Faint not, fight on, tomorrow comes the song "

CTTY'S SYMPATHY WITH DR. CALISCH


The entire city shares with DIR. Calsch and his
family their sorrow in the sudden and shocking
death of his daughter. Just poisoning into a
beautiful and gracious young womanhood, with
every prospect of long years and every hope of
happiness, it is hard to understand why she
should have suddenly been thrust into eternity.
Such moments as this serve to impress with
the limitations of human wisdom, the helpless
of human strength, the emptiness Of mate
rial things. At the open grave only look
up, and happy is he who in looking up, finds the
vision of hope that sustains and comforts
DR. Caisch comes of that has from the
beginning walked with God The Hebrew peo
pie. by virtue of blood and history and all their
holy traditions, should be prepared to find the
hand of God in every providence. His voice will
speak peace in the agony of this hour and His
presence will sustain.
Again, we say this entire community, Gentle
as well AS Jew, bows to-day by the bier of Mil
bred Calisoh and mingles its tears with those of
this sorrow stricken home.
Forgive our grief for removed
Thy creature whom we found so fair
We trust she lives in Thee, and there
We find her worthier to be loved"

A NOBLE DUTY FAITHFULLY PERFORMED

That is great and important work now
being carried on in Richmond by the Y. w. c..
A. A young woman, upon whose bosom Is PIN
ned blue ribbon, bearing these words, The
Travellers Aid" meets fifteen or more incoming
trains each day with the purpose of rendering
what assistance she can to young women and
girls, and of safeguarding them against such
temptations may assault their innocence. 1t
is a part of great national movement, THE
Travellers Aid being now established in $50
cities of the United States.
The Virginaan cordially endorses the move
ment and commends 1t TO the support and SYM
pathetic interest OF the entire community. The
widespread movement from country to city is
bringing in, not only the men and boys, but null
titudes of young girls, They are coming out of
the narrowness and drudgery and poverty OF
their past, with eager hearts and many dream
OF future good. to seek the large opportunities OF
the cities life, But they are coming, many OF
them, with innocent hearts and altogether igno
rant OF the pitfalls and snares OF the modern
city. Men and women await their coming with
the hsllish desire to and purpose to tr ade upon
their health and beauty in ubiquitous ways, We
do not know to what extent the White Slave
Traffic" obtains in our large Southern cities; we
only know that the dens of sin and shame mus
be steadily supplied with recruits to take tn,
! places of those who have reached the inevitable
end of the "Ihce that kills This work of "Th'
/ Travellers Aid" commends itself as a wise ant
! important step In the work of prevention, meet
I ing and greeting and advising the young girl a
the very threshold of her and untried life
and safeguarding her against the seductions tina
might otherwise overtake her innocence. tn

A SENSIBLE TRAFFIC ORDINANCE

Richmond is suffering at the moment from the
Ill to which we have occasion referred to as

The legislation which is now held up is the very
necessary traffic ordinance. done to its death
some weeks back at the hands of the Board Of
Aldermen, when practically the entire measure
as passed by the Common Council was not con-
CURED in. The members OF the Board of Alder
men responsible for the killing OF the measure
doubtless had what they conceived to be ALSO
luteIy good reasons for their action, although
the people whose lives are endangered by the
present hap-hazard, happy-go-lucky, go-as- you

IMPROVEMENT BOND ISSUE

There is doubtless much merit in the conten-
tion that the city should take early steps look
ing to the erection of city hospital apart from
the city almshouse, but it is to be hoped that
such movement will not be permitted to bring
any fight that may occasion delay in the
action of the Council the improvement bond
issue. which comes up for approval Monday
night. The several items covered by the propos-
ed bond issue have been completely ventilated.
The works of construction to be paid for out Of
the proceeds OF the issue are believed to be alb
solutely essential to the public welfare and con-
yenience. Such other improvements as may be
deemed desirable and expedent, II occurs to us.
