For Christian Education

HE Presbyt eran canvass in the interest
of Christian education will close in
Richmond. il is announced, with the present
week. 1t should not close without having
enlisted the support OF every Rchmonder
who values opportunity to participate as
a positive factor in the moral and spiritual
restoration which thoughtful men and wo-
men everywhere seek.
For Presbyterans of Richmond the call
i something more than a challenge to de-
nominational loyalty denominational
pride 1t is a call to share more largely
through the instrumentality Of their great
church. in the splendid task of strengthen
ing the foundations upon which our very
civilization rests. The world has never
more sorely needed the stahilizing. healing
influence of the church; and without Chris
tian education. without generous, sympathe-
tic support OF those agencies that shape and
incline the minds of young men and women,
the church will be deprived OF vital source
of strength.
Early reports on the campaign in Rich
mond have been most heartening. The
great meeting Of Presbyterians Sunday
night one Of the most impressive events
OF its character ever held in this city. The
canvass undoubtedly will end with success.
Because Of its deep meaning to humanity,
II should succeed magniticently.

dation has been laid for a triumph in farm
crs' cooperation The tobacco growers OF
Virginia and the Carolnas have gone into
the new movement in genuine carncstness.
Practically ninc-tenths OF them have been
committed by open. formal pledge to parti-
cipation for "A period Of five years; they have
signed binding contract. This time they
are going To make cooperation Il go by CO.
operating. Also. they have placed the pro
ject in the hands Of a most capable business
management The undertaking will be
handled as II ii were of supreme economic
importance. not as half-ba kcd scheme in
which only amateurs might find interest.
And out of this has sprung high respect
in financial circles. The tobacco growers
have definite assurance that the present pro-
jcCt will have the fullest sympathy and
support from the banks OF their three
states.
The result OF these changes will he COM
plcte success. and. in working out the sal
walton OF the farmer, cooperation is saw
ing the country.
