CLIMBING. THE HILL.

The pun comes near the summit The
higher go the harder becomes the climb
But with the towering top ahead and the lure
of the vision there in our souls. We rally our
reluctant energies and push on until the valley
with it's sweep of glorious vision lies around
and below.
Half the journey towards the proposed build
ing for the Young Womens Christian Associa-
ton has been traversed. In days and dollars
we are at the midway point Sabbath has
interviewed for rest. Let start forth this
morning with refreshed spirits and renewed
energies TO make the whole trip to the top.
This is the hardest section of the journey.
There will be a tendency perhaps to grow
weary and faint But must not fall and fall,
Upon the summit towards which we climb
there stands a modern. conmodious and com
Portable home for the young womanhood Of our
city Many of these girls are practically home
less Many OF them are practically friendless
All OF them need and long for the privileges
the help the warm welcome and good fellow
ship such al institution will furnish them
The vision OF what the home on the hilltop
means for the working girls. strangers and
young women generally Of our city should send
us forth determined that We will make the fin
ish with success and ON schedule time.
The generous and women OF Richmond
will not fail to respond to the appeal of those
whose hearts have devised this splendid institu-
ton and who are so cheerfuliy giving of their
time and means TO insure its erection. II one OF
the soliciting committees mas you, make liberal
response to their appeal II they fail to find
you, you can easily find them. The money
counts fer just much by whatever route II
reaches the treasury of this enterprise
