Summer Religious
Assembly at Marion

At he last meeting Of the South
west Virginia Synod, it was decided
to set up Summer Religious Assem-
bly, at some point within the terrific
ry of the Synod. A committee was
appointed for this purpose, consist
ing of Rev. j. Luther Sieber. of Roa-
noke; Rev. e. X. Hunton, of Salem;
DR.. H. N. Miller and Mr.. Rhudy, of
Wytheville; Rev. G. II. Rhodes. of Ru-
raj Retreat and Mr.. e. X. Coyner,
and President C Brown Cox, of Mar
ion. This committee investigated very
thoroughly the points of every avail
able location within the bounds of the
Synod and finally unanimous decis-
ion was reached to hold the As
sembly at Marion College. The date
fixed by the committee for the first
convention of this Assembly is July
81 to August 2, 1918.
The committee is at work on the
program and general arrangement of
the Assembly. For the program, they
are inviting very ablctalcnt Among
the speakers already invited are Mr..
VIM. j. Showalter, Assistant Editor
of the National Geographic Maga-
zine, Washington; DR.. j. Henry Arms
President of Newberry College, of
South Carolina; Dr.. S. P. Long. pas
tor of the largest English Lutheran
Congregation in the world, Mansfield,
Ohio; DR.. and Mrs. e. C. Cronk, who
are well known to all of our people;
Mr.. Ralph Urey, noted musivian,
who has given recitals in the largest
cities throughout the country, and
has filled various return engagements
at Carnegie Hall, Pittsburg.
Specialists in various lines of Chris
tan activity are being assembled and
the full program which will be offer
ed will be equally as strong and at
! tractive as the programs of the best
Assemblies of our country, such as
Blue Ridge, Black Mountain and Lake
Geneva.
While this movement is LAUGHED
by the Southwest Virginia Synod of
the Luethran church, it is not the
purpose of the promoters to make it
strictly denominational affair. 1t is
tiiSiA pun POoS " CoIeipiioil tilC <1ootlu"
bly, on basis which will appeal to
all Christian workers in every denom-
ination. The Summer Assembly idea,
growing out of the original Chau-
tauqua plan, seeks to combine pleas
antsummer vacation with opportuni-
ty for improvement for all those
who are seeking to do worthy SER
vice in any department of Christian
activity.
Certainly, nothing greater has been
planned for our territory in recent
years. Every year thousands of peo-
pie visit Blue Ridge and Black Noun
tain on account of such assemblies
Southwest Virginia has every attrac-
tion that these points have, and when
this territory becomes as well known
as the other points which have re-
ceived vast advertisement on account
of their Summer Assemblies, great
numbers of people will be drawn to
this section every year. 1t will put
Southwest Virginia on the map.
Now is the time for us to get busy
All together now-"and over the top
with the greatest proposition which
has come to Southwest Virginia ir
many years.

money to produce. To provide these
things is the opportunity and duty OF
those who do not offer their lives
Winning this war is a matter of
money. When you buy a Liberty
Bond It means money for the United
States treasury. During the coming
year. this nation must raise S24. 000,-
100000. About $4,000. 900. 900 of fhis
must be raised by loans and $4,000
900. 900 by taxation. If we do not raise
this money, thu United States treas
ury Will have failed. When the
United States treasury falls, the war
ia lost. II the war Is lost, democracy
is lost-the world Is lost.
Thus we get some idea of what
each individual must do. He must
save. do without luxuries, he must get
along with what he has rather than
buy things that are not absolutely nee
essary. He must do those things only
which are Of productive value He
must simplify and cheaper his diet
In short. he must in every possible
way use for his own comfort as little
OF the nations labor, time. and eff
cheney as possible. He must save
every cent of money possible and loan
IL TO the Government. In this way
only can a citizen live up to his patri-
otto duty and do his part towards win
ming and ending the war.

Catholic Journalist Dead
WILLIAM r. DENNEHY WAS LONG
EDITOR OF THE IRISH
CATHOLIC.

Mr.. William F. Dennehy, editor of
The Irish Catholic, of Dublin, Ireland,
for thirty years past, and its sole
proprietor for the last six years of
his life, died in that city on Saturday,
March 2, after long illness. He was
a prominent figure in Dublin. His
father had been an alderman and
Justice of the Peace and a personal
friend of O'Connell. The deceased
was secretary to the late T. D. Sulli-
van when Lord Mayor of Dublin in
1857, and was chosen secretary of
the Citizens Committee on the occa-
sion of the reception in Dublin cf both
the present and the late Sovereign.
He was also secretary of the Irish
Institute of Commerce and Industries,
in which he took a great interest. On
the outbreak of the war he made a
splendid fight for the appointment of
Catholic chaplains, and was congratu-
lated by Cardinal Logue on his event
ual success. He showed a regrettable
lack of sympathy with the democratic
movement in any form.
