THANKSGIVING DAY

At the Baptist ministers conference
yesterday IL was unanimously decided
to hold Thanksgiving services in all
the Baptist churches in Richmond on
Thanksgiving day.
TT has sometimes seemed wise on
this annual time of gratitude and
thanksgiving to unite some of the con-
wregations,~ but IL was felt that there
was 80 much to be grateful for at this
great season of the year that each
church should Ming wide It's doors and
invite all the people 10 come and give
expression OF their gratitude TO Al
mighty God"
motion TO that effect was made by
DR. W. e. James. Of the Grove Avenue
Baptist church. which was@sheartily
aAcouded by many enthusiastic express
.ainns- II is thought that each pastor
rfll conduct his own services
The people will be urged not to 90
on for trims and excursions on THAI
DAY they remain at home and attend
divine services In their respective
churches
