lin UNION THERE rs
STRENGTH"

The great simultaneous evangelistic
campaign, which has been planned by
the Ministerial Union, should mean
much to Richmond. Nothing has as
yet been undertaken by this body Of
greater Importance. or fraught with
such far-reaching results.
1t is great day for Christianity when
all the followers of the Christ are
willing to Join together In Christian
love for the triumph OF truth and
righteousness. II means much, and
betokens the dawn of brighter day
religiously.
I'm union there is strength" This
is not only true In government. but
is equally true In religion. This union
movement on the part of all the Pro-
testant churches OF Richmond will re-
suit in far more good, and will reach
far more people, than any movement,
In which only a few of the churches
might be engaged. could possibly hope
TO do. with services In progress in
nearly one hundred and fifty churches
at the same time, and with the power
that will come from the united pray
ers of thousands of Christian men and
women for the success of these ser
vices, an atmosphere will be created
in Richmond. such as has never been
in the city before.
The call for active service on the
part OF every church member will be
urgent. THE Kings business re-
auires haste" and every pastor in
Richmond should have the earnest,
prayerful, sympathetic support of
every member of his congregation.
There are thousands of people in Rich
mond who are not Identified with any
church, and there are many members
in every congregation who are luke
warm and Indifferent. 1t is desired
that both classes shall be reached in
these meetings. The task is big one,
but it should be remembered that only
when we attempt great things for God,
viii we receive great things from God.
Great faith IL needed accompanied
by much prayer. Richmond must get
on her knees before God! Victory
will then be assured.
The Yirginian is In hearty sympathy
with the movement. and stands ready
to do anything in its power to assist
In making this the greatest revival in
the history OF Richmond.

Sir.-Considerab has been said

daily papers recently about the tu-
berculosis work in Virginia, and
believe that every person who Is in
a position to know the conditions that
exist today are heartily in favor of u
large appropriation from the General
Assembly to fight the disease among
the negroes. Anything that is done
for the negro will indirectly help every
white family in the State.
There is another class of people in
Virginia today who are suffering from
tuberculosis and not receiving any
assistance from the State. This is
me poorer class, and there are thou
sands OF them, who are not financial
y able TO pay the charge OF 81 pea

v!Eht for Virginia to be running an
institution of this kind for the more
fortunate. and the ones who really
need assistance are at their homes

Of their family and very probably 9TH

,osis will never be materially dc creased

of enforcing prohibition laws, just as
