The meeting was held under the aus
pieces OF the Virginia division OF the
National Council OF Defense, and was
presided over by Mrs, Il, Il, Munford,
who is chairman OF that organization,
After the singing Of America Miss

an inspiring yet clear. definite and
concise manner.
In Miss Halves statements, she
brought the thought that patriotism
like charity begins at home, and ex-
planned how the seemingly sordid du-
ties of home life are in reality the
truest kind Of patriotism If done with

NEW PASTOR COMES
TO GIATfR PARK
Rev. William Hedley Resigns Pulpit
Of Ashland Baptist Church 10
Take Up Work In
Richmond.

Rev. William Hediey for six years
pastor of the Ashland Baptist church
rendered his resignation yesterday
morning to accept the postarate of the
Ginter-Parf church to which he was
recently called. The Ashland church
expresses reluctance In accepting the
resignation. The Rev Mr.. Hedley will
begin his work at Ginter Park the fret
of December.
Mr. Hedley came to Ashland six
years ago from Reidsville, N. c., and
his pastorate has been pleasant and
successful one. The people of Ash
land. including those not members of
his church. are greatly attached to
him, and there win BE universal re
gIet at his leaving.
Rev. Mr.. Hedley is preacher OF
fine ability. He is native of England,
bat was educated at the Southern Bap-
tist Theological seminary at Louisville,
Ky. He has filled several pastorates
In Virginia and North Carolina. Since
he has been in Ashland. a splendid adj
dition has been built TO that church -
accommodate the Sunday school and
Bible classes. The church has grown
rapidly under his ministry. Mr. He'd
ley is d man of fine character, good
pastor and an excellent preacher
Inc dlnter-Park Cnurch, to which
the Ashland pastor comes, is one of
the most promising fields in Virginia.
ard one of the most attractive sections
in or around Richmond 1t is d bear
tiful place with splendid people. The
young church for the present worshlps
In what was formerly the public school
building. and has a membership OF
less than hundred. The church,
however, owns beautiful lot on which
1t is proposed TO erect a modern church
building in the near future
Mr. Hedley is particularly well fitted
for the work which lies in this church.
He is Il practical architect, a good or
sanizer and a resourceful leader. It
is thought that as result Of his COM
ing to Ginter Park. many Baptists iiv-
ing In that section who still hold mem
bership in the older Richmond
churches will now unite with Gipter
