ST. paul's Sunday


The Rev. Richard W. Trapnell, of
St. Andrews Church. Wilmington
Del, will occupy the pulpit at st.
Paul's Church Sunday morning.
St. Andrews's Church is located in
the downtown business section of

newer residential sections of the city
it was thought that it might be best
TO use it as a mission for another

city.
Al this time the Rev. Mr.. Trap.
nell became its pastor and st. An
drew's has now the largest Episcopa
congregation in Wilmington and it:
influence extends not only over thai
citv but the contiguous territory
This great work is due to the un
t,rine energy and to the forceful an,
ELOQUENT sermons of the rector. Dur
ing Mr.. Trapnell's pastorate one o.
his vastrymen has become an or
da;ned minister and is now the as
sitant to his former pastor, in thu
great work of this church.

VIRGINIA MUST
=, RAISE MORE FUNDS.

/, Richmond, Va, March 12.-Fa:l-
. ure of the bread grain crop and the
devastation left in the wake of the
, Bolshevists have retarded improve
ment in the distressed condition
among the starving children of east
ern and central Europe which the
European Relief Council under the
chairmanship of Herbert Hoover has
been striving to remedy.
Do Soto Fitz Gerald, State Treas
urer for the Councils campaign in
Virginia, has just received this in
formation from Mr.. Hoover, who
urges renewed efforts to raise Vir-
ginia's quota for the campaign for
s33 100000 throughout the United
States to care for 100000 children
until the next harvest. Mr.. Fitz
Gerald asks that contributions be sent
to his Office, 21S Mutual Building.
Richmond Prompt acknowledgment
will be made by him of all donations,
Mr.. Hoover's statement says that
child feeding in Poland has steadily
increased because of the Bolshevist
destruction there >until it is now nee
essary to care for 100000 children.
He also states that great poverty
and hunger exist in the Baltic reeior
and that the number to be fed there
has increased sharply. It is also
brought out in the statement that
copditions in Austria have growr
stkadilysseerser and that a further in:
crease is contemplated over the 300
900 Austrian children fed since Sep
tember.
Virginia has not reached its quote
in the campaign, although thirty-si~
states have reported to Mr.. Hoover
that all requested of them had beer
subscribed. All money will be spent
for food and clothing which will be
distributed to those in want with
the lowest possible expense.
