BAPTIST WOMEN WILL
HOLD SESSIONS At
CONVICTION i 4.

TO the Sisterhood of the State and
States, our Brotherhood in general
and friends, we send forth our urgent
appeal in behalf Of the financial
drive to be put over in the Woman's
Baptist State Convention at Pocahon-
tas, Va. June "a.
The women have greatly helped in
all the Churches in the remarkably
successful drive, which eliminated in
going over the top at Staunton, Va.
To help this drive TO be success we
had to keep our own rally in the
background aud said VIC nothing
about our work. We did so wiling
~ and do rejoice in common with
the brethren over the great success.
But We are coming now in turn
with out-strctched hands, asking FOR
your service for the same good cause.
TO this end we bcscech the brethren
to help those women who have helped
them encourage those who are al
ready organized into Educational
Circles, Missionary Societies, Bands,
and also to organize tho women
where they are not organized. We
appeal to the ministers to lend Il
helping hand as pastors. We are
asking that every effort be put forth
to bring up as large amounts as pos
sible from every Church.
This is not to rival the brethren,
but to supplement the princely sum
already gathered by them for n cause
greatly in need of reinforcement In
the behalf OF the youth Of our race.
Encourage the fceblcd efforts as we'll
as the more efficient workers. Help
the women to get together.
