TABERNACLE BAPTIST
CHURCH.

In reviewing our past years work
and seeing how much we have &C
complished, how many souls we have
been the means of bringing to
Christ; how many have been add.
ed to the church; how, without any
strenuous efforts on our part, we
greet the New Year without stand.
ing debts, we indeed are thankful!
and bow our heads in humble sub.
mission and loving gratitude to our
Heavenly Father for His many bles-
sings. Each organization of the
church has worked earnestly and
faithfully the past year and great
success has been their reward. The
B. Y. P. U. is making good with
Miss Mary Rutledge as president;
Miss Bette Simmons as teacher, Miss
Lucell Priest and Miss Mildred
Reames as officers are to be COM
mended for their zeal in trying to
build up something that will be a
monument for the church and COM
munity. The Ladies' Auxiliary has
done great mission work in the past
year. And the Chairmen of the diff
ferent circles have pledged them
selves to raise the standard higher
this ensuing year. Mrs. Mary Priest
as chairman Of the Rescue Band has
gladdened many a sad heart in 1916.
She has been faithful to the duties
imposed on her. She lets nothing
keep her from the sick or distressed
when notified, and never goes with
an empty hand. The Pastors Aid
with Mrs. Fannie Mann as chairman,
IA quite an asset In the church. They
are making good reports. The Sun
day school had its annual Christmas
exercises and Christmas tree Tues
dav, December 26. The exercises

sisting of one hundred pieces, as a
token of their appreciation. Rev. H.

Christmas purse, containing fifty-six
dollars, presented by the Sunday
school, members and families of the

LLOYD GEORGE
SAYS AID OF
U. s. REDUCES
WASPS' TOLLS
Express Debt of Gratitude
for Effective Assistance
and Ships Placed at Dis
posal.
LOSSES ARE REDUCED

LONDON, May 25.-Premier Lloyd
George in announcing in the House OF
Commons today that more effective
blows had been dealt against subma.
rines In the last three weeks than dur.
ing any corresponding period Of the
war. paid q tribute to the assistance
rendered by the American navy say.
, ing:
I'VE owe a very considerable debt
OF gratitude to the great American
have rendered and the crafts they
have placed at our disposal. Now that
the American nation is in the war 1t
Is easier to make arrangements for
the protection of our mercantile ma.
rine than 1t was before"
Statement 10 Satisfactory.
The premier's statement on subma-
rine warfare was altogether the most
satisfactory heard in England In many
months.
1T is much more difficult" he said,
"for me to give a public answer on
this than on any other topic. 1t is
very difficult for me to give infornla.
tion without to certain extent re.
vealing things which we had better
keep to ourselves. All ] can say Is
that we are making substantial pro-
gress.
During the last three weeks or
more we have dealt more effectively
with submarines than during any cor
responding period Of the war. This is
true in this week as we'll as Of the pre-
ceding weeks. There Is no doubt the
effect will be made manifest in. a con-
siderable reduction of our shipping
losses"
Reduction Upon April.
1T is true we are not through with
the month of May but il the ratio of
losses during the last twenty-five
days is not exceeded. then the reduc-
ton upon April will be very consider
able. Indeed there does not seem to
be any reason to anticipate any worse
figures in the coming week. The ar
rangements made for dealing with
submarines have been increasingly eff
ficient"
The premier then made his refer
ence to American assistance which
was loudly cheered

Save WASTE PAPER
TO RAISE FINANCE
FOR NURSERY WORK

Save magazines and newspapers,
and do your bit is the latest slogan
among Richmond women.
The Day Nursery has been doing a
splendid work-a most helpful work
In caring for little children while their
mothers are out earning bread and
butter. II is inevitable that more wo-
men must soon become bread earners
when the men arc serving the coun-
try.
VIII Become Necessity
The Day Nursery will then become
a necessity. and its field of usefulness
will be much more extended The
ways and means committee OF the Do
mestic Science club is undertaking to
provide for the maintenance of the
nursery during the next year.
Every woman IN Richmond will be
given an opportunity to help. No
money Is asked for. and no work is
attached to the plan. Merely save all
waste paper Of any kind.
July 10 has been set aside as the
day TO collect all the paper. The Boy
Scouts Of the city will collect the pa
PER, it will be sold and the proceeds
given to the nursery.
will YOU do your bit? Begin to-
day. Save every scrap OF paper" the
committee osks.
