Merger of Calvary
And Grace Probable

Richmond, Va, Dec. 27.-Union of
the congregations of Calvary and
Grace Street Baptist Churches will
take place on the first Sunday in
March, 1928, if present plans for the
purchase of the Calvary property by
Grace Street are carried out. The
congregation of Grace Street Baptist
Church decided last Wednesday night
to buy the property and the congrega-
ton of Calvary accepted the PROPOSE
ton at meeting Sunday morning
The property will be sold for about
$95 900, it was said yesterday. The
offer was made by Grace Street
Church in response to an offer from
ojcers Of Calvary Church. Follow
ing the action of Grace Church, it
was necessary for Calvary to meet
to ratify the sale.
Only one dissenting vote was cast
when the sale question came up in
Calvary Church, it was stated last
night. For some time it has been
the plan of Grace Church to move
westward. Rev. Garter Ashton Jen-
kens, pastor of Calvary, resigned
some time ago and will begin evange-
listic activities after March 1.
i Union of Calvary and Grace Street
churches will give a total membership
of 1000, the present building being
too small to accommodate that number.
1t is understood that Grace Street
moves as unit and will stand firmly
as such. About the only change con-
templated is in the name of the church.
which will be called Grace Baptist
Church, the Street" being dropped
because of the location of the church
at Grove Avenue and Boulevard. The
choir quarters of the Calvary build
ing also will be enlarged.
The committee to complete the ne
gotiations from Grace Street Church
are John T. Wilson, r. B. Airport,
". Leigh Carneal, Hugh P. Powell,
H. F. Cox, Bruce Bowe and H. n.
Phillips.
During the last twenty-five years,
the Grace Street Church congrega-
ton has voted down propositions to

GENERALS COMPLETE
HARD GRID SCHEDULE

Lexington, Va. Dec.27.-The Gener-
ais the past year played one of the
hardest football schedules of any COL
lege in Virginia, and, in fact, as hard
possibly as any college team in the
South, yet the schedule for 1923 will
be even more difficult, due to the fact
that small teams are refusing to take
on the so-called larger opponents for
mere practice games, and the gener-
ais mentor believes in hard schedule
rather than a neasy one. Washing

more big games to Lexington after the

Evangelist Held On
Charges Of Fraud

New York, Dec. 27-"The teach
ings of Christ, it would seem have
no place in the counting house today"
Victor II. Arnold, former president
of the Madison, (Wis.) Bond Com
pany and more recently an evange-
list here declared today in his cell IN.
Raymond Street jail.
Arnold was arrested yesterday az
his Bayside Country estate, formerly
training quarters of Freddy Welsh,
English lightweight boxer. The
charge was "wilfully scheming to de.
fraud" in violation of Section 2l5 OF
the penal code, and being a fugitive
from justice.
Declaring himself the victim OF per-
secutions "such as Christ and Paui
suffered" the former financler TOOK
his arrest calmly.
He insisted that his present misfor-
tune had been brought about by the
"Deviltry" Of his enemies in Wiscon-
sin, and because of his efforts TO
shield stockholders in his now defunct
company from financial loss. Ihorugh
all his comment on the case ran the
religious strain in which he conducted
series of lectures on "Christianity
at the town hall earlier tins month,
The case against Arnold involved
his handling OF funds of the Madison
Bond Company. Protesting not only
his absolute innocence but that ms
every move in connection with the
company's affairs had been "lnspr'
ed" Arnold accused the former VICE
president and secretary treasurer OF
the concern of embezzlement. he de
clared officials of Madison, OF the
state of Wisconsin and apparently
even the United States" to be IN con

hope his arrest and impending ira
