Editor virginian:
Sir: / am glad to know that Rev.
VIM. A. Sunday does not need any
further testimony as to the success OF
| his recent campaign in our city. for
the fruits of his faithful and earnest
preaching abound in every city in
which he has labored, and he is fol-
lowed by the benedictions of num-
| bers of souls who have been lifted to
a happier experience because of his
efforts
The writer Is hearing many echoes
of the Sunday campaign from work
ers in offices, stores, shops and fac
| tories, from the increased attendance
| on the services in the churches and
| new interest In Bible study on the
| part of formerly Indifferent. pleasure
! loving and inconsistent church men,
bers. Indeed while numbers who
could not have been induced to at
t tend revival services conducted in the
| churches went TO hear Mr.. Sunday
and many of them were converted, il
seems that had he accomplished
nothing more than to quicken the
! churches into new life and raise the
| standard of Christian living, as he
! surely has done in this city. the re-
suit would fully justify the outlay Of
money, time and effort.
/ 1t seems that the principal factors
| in the success of Mr. Sundays cam
paign were.
| l. organization--'"To every man
his work"
| 2. The preaching of the "old time
| religion" of the Bible, which always
| attracts, a religion of sacrifice, service
and JOY.
/ 8. The use of hearty. soul-stirring
music in which all the people could
| join. With the Psalnist Mr.. Rode
HEAVIER says, Let all me people sing"
| and proceeds to sing what they can
appreciate and can Join i'll singing.
Here for the benefit of those who
did not have the privilege of hearing
Mr., Rodeheaver's suggestions to the
choirs as to perpetuating in the
| churches the work of the Sunday
campaign, l will say that he EN-
phasiZed the importance OF congrega
tional signing, stating that IT is a
mistake to cater to the 10 per cent
ultra musical of the congregation
rather than the 30 per cent who love
music but cannot appreciate classical
selections as =. part Of the worship in
which they would like to participate,
| He further stated that IL we desire TO
have our churches in a state of revival
we must employ the right kind of
music, the kind that the pastor tries
TO get his choir TO have when he tries
to start revival services.
If the coming of the Sunday party.
and the object lessons they gave us
along these lines would lead TO tho
adoption of their methods by those in
our churches who are responsible for
the music. il would he "a conSumma-
ton devoutfy 10 be wished by all
who desire 10 sec the church fulfilling
it's mission to save sinners and edify
believers. r. IL r.

The immense mass Getting at the
Academy OF Music Sunday afternoon
was a gratifying testimonial to the
high regard In which the Anti Saloon
League is held by the people of Rich
nond. after years OF familiarity with
its policies and IT'S achievements.
Likewise the very large subscription
in support of the league--mora than

the people of Richmond have more

good money to a project Of doubtful

enthusiasm aroused by the speakers

league and the distinguished Tenne-

furnished them by II. II. Chapman, L..

Evelyn Frisbie, w. n. Mauger, II. Liv-

and others. There were about thirty
boys in the company And they went
after their job like so many ants.
BY building big dam and digging
a trench they changed the course of a
creek that has proved troublesome to
the camp folk. Besides that they lev
eled off several hundred feet of new
road only quitting when their Off
GERS felt that they had reached the
limit of endurance for one day The
council around the camp fire was
much enjoyed. Mr.. Hammond kept
the interest of the boys for a long
time with interesting stories.
The pies and cakes served by the
camp cook brought volley of cheers
that could be heard far down the
canyon The boys cooked their own
meals and passed many of their tests
in the outdoor program of scouting,
