sion of the diocese Of Virginia, and
the commission on Colonial churches

Colonial churches has done most
important work for the preservation
Of these old churc:les which from
their historic associations and simple
dignity are a witness 70 the religious
life of the Old Dominion. The COM
mttee on the state of the church re-
scrrcd to the war conditions in con-
nection with the work Of the church,
urging the necessity Of frequent and
earnest prayer to the God Of r!ghte-
BUSINESS and truth TOR success and
victory on the part of ourselves and
our allies instead Of trusting to might
and arms alone. AS many rectors
are now in training camps, or at the
front, the. laymen Of the church are
called upon in case o. lack of minis
ters to do their part in keeping regu-
lar services. The clergy were also re-
minded of the Importance of placing
honor rolls or service flags in their
churches to keep In remembrance
those of their Pensioners who are
serving their country in this righte-
Gus war against autocracy and bar
barism.
Various reports were read by the
chairman of their respective commit
tees. Among these was that of the

fore God requesting that the whole
; of this church be asked to set apart
period OF time in the summer or
| fall for such a service that we may
put ourselves in right relations with
! God so as to obtain His blessing upon
| our arms and those Of cur allies for
true victory and lasting peace. The
report of the dean of the Theological
Seminary, near Alexandria, showed
how many of the students had given
themselves to War service. 1t re-
vealed that the students were not un-
mindful of their sacred duties to their
country in these days Of storm and

Herbert Samuel Likely to Become
Leader of Liberals.

The London Daily Mirror, one Of
the Lord Northcliffe newspapers, de-
clared last week that Mr. Herbert
Samuel will probably succeed As
quith as the leader of the British
Liberal Party. Samuel held several
important positions under Asquith,
first as Assistant Secretary of the
Interior, then as Postmaster Gener
al, and later as Home Secretary.
Lloyd George, although member
of the same party, is more radical
in his views than Asquith, who, to-
gether with Samuel, belongs to the
more conservative wing of the Lib
erals. Samuel is described in that
paper as a man of a strong will and
exceptional abilities as leader and
is regarded as the proper person to
lead that important political party.

The portrait bust of President
Woodrow Wilson by Joe Davidson,
exhibited at the Reinhardt galleries
in New York, has brought fame to
the sculptor from the friends of the
President, who are impressed by the
sympathetic handling and truthful
portraiture of his work. Distin
guished French officers and officials
from Great Britain were so pleased
with the quality of the bronze pre-
sentiment of the leading American
statesman that at their suggestion
both the Luxembourg Gallery of
Paris and the National Portrait Gal
1ery of London, have ordered bronze
replicas of Mr.. Davidson's portrait
bust of the President for their per-
