Donations to Preserve Edifice.

flans are on foot to raise funds by
small donations from parishes in every
section of the country for an endow-
ment for old Pohick Church. in which
George Washington worshipped as a

for these offerings is February 81, the
eve of Washington's birthday The
church belongs to the Episcopal do
cese of Richmond

rounding country have found it eX-
tremely difficult to keep up the church,

ans to preserve it. No large sums are
expected, even from the wealthiest
conEreSa ations.
