Between heavy black borders. the
Living Church, one of the principal
periodicals OF the Protestant Episcopal
Church in America, carries the follow
ing editorial:
The loss OF lives. including those Of
many Americans. through tho wilful
destruction of the Lusitania. fills all of
us with such unspeakable horror that
it were better not to try to give ex-
preston to our emotions
II is a time when the American peo-
pie must exercise the greatest restraint
If the first thought to all of us is to
Remember the Maine" and the series
of happenings that grew out of that
memory. let us also remember that
this is period of great world stress.
in which that course for us which
might normally be right and necessary
might now be productive rather OF
adding still further to the measure OF
the worlds woe.
1t is better for us not to seek to force
the hands of the President. Whatever
be his determination as to the national
duty. he will find the great mass of
the American people behind him.
But we want no war of mere reprisaI
The question must be determined in
the light OF what service can best be
given to mankind in this crisis. Let
those who think war the only alterna
tive. ask themselves what we should
accomplish. whether for us or for
others, by throwing ourselves into the
war.
1t is the duty OF the American peo-
pie in this unparalleled crisis to stand
firmlI by the President, giving to him
their firm support in such policy as
he may deem it right to pursue. They
whose duty 1t is TO assist In moulding
public opinion must write with sense
of the great responsibility that devolves
upon them. =
May God grant his guidance to the
President and his advisers! May He
so use us. the American people, In this
day of our trial. as to fulfil His own
purposes, and so soon as may be, in
pursuance Of His will. bring peace again
TO the distracted earth!
And to those who. though non-com-
batants. have been killed thus ruth
lessly, may He grant forgiveness of
all their sins. and give to them eternal
rest!

EMANUEL BAPTIST
HAS HAD STEADY GROWTH

BEGINNING from 4 Sunday school,
Emmanuel Baptist was organized March
30. 1890. II was then known as Fourth
Street Church, and most of its men,
hers were from First and Grace street
Churches. \ sunday school was or
ganized by Richmond College minister
ial students in 1877, assisted by the
Misses Power. J. b. Walthan, j. III.
Sands and W. i. Boshcr. The first pas
tor was Rev. II. f. Williams and the
deacons were W. c. Minor, George w.
Shepperson. John Sales and j. b.
Walthall.
Rev. James Nelson, y. D.. was the
second pastor. with the following in
the order named: Rev J. r. Harrison
tdcceased), Rev. David Soliy. Rev. T..
w. Stone, Rev. r. Franklin Bryan and
Rev. T. Lacy Hogue. now pastor Of
SpurGeon Memorial Church. Norfolk.
During Rev. David Solly's pastorate,
the church was removed To Fifth and
Leigh Streets, where the congregation
has worshiped for the last fifteen years.
Owing to the steady movement of the
membership westward, it was found
necessary to make another change. Ac-
cordinEly the property at Fifth and
Leigh was sold last summer for SELL
900. and the building at Grace and Pine
streets was purchased for s21,50o.

PLAN LARGE AUDITORIUM
To MEET NEEDS OF SECTION

The question of removal from the old
pullding at the corner OF Pine and
Grace Streets had been in debate for :.
number of years. but il was not until
August. 1919 that any definite step
was taken toward the end. The CON
EreGation then decided almost unani-
mously TO build a church that would
more nearly meet the needs OF the
rapidly growing membership and sun
day school During the pastorship OF
Rev. Ryiand knight -. H., who after
wards accepted Il call TO Clarksville
Tenn, the question had been vigorous
ly aGitated, but met with much OPP
position that no action could he taken
at that time.
With vacancy existing in the pull
pit, however. the more aggressive ele-
ment of the congregation realized that
the erection of a more commodious
building was absolutely essential to
procuring the services OF a suta hle
pastor. SO when the present pastor,
Rev Carter Ashton Jenkins. who was
then pastor OF the Sturgeon Memorial
Church. Norfolk, was called TO the
pastorship of the church, il was clearly
understood that the congregation would
follow his lead in this matter. Soon
after Mr.. Jenkins took charge of the
church the question terminated favor
ably 10 the advocates of removal, and
the new site was purchased.
The building as il now stands repre-
sents an expenditure of 10000. and
will accommodate Sunday school of
about 500 pupils. the majority OF whom
have been attending the branch school
established at the Soldiers Home in
December. 1913. With the erection of
the church auditorium. the property
will have cost from $4,000 TO $500
\ series of revival services, begin
ming to-day and lasting for two weeks,
will be conducted by the pastor.
