HE HELPS BEST WHO HELPS
QUICKLY; DO YOUR DUTY

The following statement, issued by
the Executive Board of the Shelter
ing Arms Hospital of Richmond, Vir-
ginia, contains message to the en-
tire Virginia public:
AT the end of the year in which the
demands of the hospital have been
equal to its utmost efficiency, as well
as year of great financial depres-
sion, the management finds itself fac
ing deficit of four thousand dollars
with no resources to relieve its in
debtedncss.
1t is believed if this appeal shall
be responded to by every man. wo-
man and child, who, have in the past
twenty-siX years, received help mt
this institution, and by their influence
secure small gifts of quarters, half
dollars, and dollars, or less or more,
as they are able, that this deficiency
will be wiped out.
This appeal is not to be meade to
those perennial friends of the insti-
tuition, who have made semi-annual
gifts for many years, though we know
these will help within their power,
but is made primarily to the wide
Virginia public, who must be inter
ested in II institution whose sole OBJ
ject is in relieveing the destitute sick
without money and without price.
The past year has record of 681
patients, all entirely free, and 49,
500 hospital days.
The maintenance of this institu-
tion is largely dependent upon volun-
tary gifts of friends. No pay pa
tients are received here, nor are those
able to pay treated within the walls.
The hospital is now filled to its ut
most capacity, forty applicants wait
ing, and many more expected during
the summer months.
The board of lady managers are
facing a serious problem and are
threatened with the closure of this
most worthy and valued institution,
unless aid is promptly received.
If each one who reads this state
ment will send some gift, large or
small, to Mrs. Geo. r. King, treasur-
er, or Miss Frances B. Scott, Presi-
dent, it will be promptly acknowledge
ed and gratefully received.

JUNE.

Through Europe's war-swept spaces,
Walking with tarnished shoon
Der silent, upturned faces,
There comes a saddened June.
No little white flowers meet her;
Only the vivid red
And scarlet blossoms greet her,
That root where men have bled.
The lips that whispered trifes,
To welcome her are dumb;
She hears the voice of rifles,
The rattle OF the drum.
From where the sweet wild grasses
Once grew, there comes the smell
OF heavy, acrid grasses,
Like fumes escaped from hell.
She sees the ocean folding,
Upon its BOSOM deep,
Many mother holding
A child in endless sleep;
And women who fell screaming
Before the blood mad clans,
To find, in their long dreaming,
Earth's heart more soft than mans,
She hears the cannon's thunders;
She hears the labored breath
OF boys who gaze in wonder
Upon the face Of death.
She sees the torn oblations
That human folly filings
On affairs of its nations
To feed the pride of kings.
Through Europe's war-swept spaces,
Walking with tarnished shoon
Ger silent, upturned faces,
There comes n saddened June.
No little white flowers meet her;
Only the vivid red
And scarlet blossoms greet her,
That root where men have bled.

REVIVAL MEETING
TO BEGIN JUNE I3
Famous Georgia Evangelist Is
Coming for PrOtracted Ser
vices-Schedule of Prelim-
mary Arrangements.

1t is expected that Rev. l.. b.
Bridges, of Gainesville, Ca, will be
at the Methodist church in Tazewell,
June 18th, to begin series of revival
services. Rev. Mr.. Bridges is well
known in this section, he having held
meeting of splendid results at the
Bland Street Church, Bluefield, in the
winter. He is recognized as fine
preacher and singer and is one of the
few men appointed as evngelist by
the church at large. His style and
manner is said to be pleasing while
convincing and it is believed the Taze-
well people will hear him gladly. He
will be accompanied by his singer
Mr.. Cordell, Huntington, w. Va. 1t
is not known whether Mrs. Bridgers
will assis her husband in this meeting
or not. If SO, her singing and piano
playing will add feature of much
merit to the services.
While the evangelist is n Methodist
and the services are to be cnducted
in the Moethodist church the earnest
cooperation of all other ministers
and church members is urgently so
licited as the meeting is regarded in
the light of a community affair. 1t
is hoped that all the pastors of the
town with as many of their members
possible will attend every service.
The general public is most cordially
invited to come to every service. The
choirs of all the churches and all sing
ers are kindly invited to give their
aid in making the music under the
directions of the visiting leader.
The revival spirit is abroad in the
land and with the faithful cooperation
of the people and the direct influence
of the Divine Spirit it is expected
that Tazcwell will have n manifest
tation of this wonderful power. Pre-
liminary services will be held ac-
cording to the following schedule in
the Sunday school room of the Metho-
dist church the week preceding the
18th of June.
Monday night, s o'clock, Rev. r. b.
Platt. Jr.
Tuesday night, o'clock, Rev. c. R,
Brown.
"Wednesday night, o'clock, Mrs
Mary O,Keeffe.
Thursday night, o'clock, Rev. d.
P. Hurley.
Friday night, s o'clock, Three talks
of ten minutes each by Rev. w. S.
Bullard; Rev. w. w. Arrowood ant
Rev. Thos. II. Campbell.
These services are considered to be
very important and it is hoped large
numbers will attend every night. The
choirs are asked to come to these
meetings an dead the singing.
Since the roads are so good and
automobiles and other conveyances arc
so convenient it is thought probable
that people living at considerable dis
tance from town will lend their pres
ence to the services regularly.
