MANY ORGANIZATIONS
FOLLOW CAMPAIGN OF
EVANGELIST IN CITY

It will not be the fault Of persons
connected with the Sunday revival
campaign, if Richmond easily forgets
that Billy Sunday. was here.
The business mems organization
that had been meeting at moons at the
Y. NJ. c. A, and later began to hold
a second meeting at the tabernacle af-
ter the evening sermon, was the first
to take active steps.
The Business Women's Invitation
committee, which during the campaign
had charge of the work with the shop
girls and the professional women, has
effected a complete organization, I'm
der the leadership of Mrs. Wilson D.
Scott, and has already announced its
first noon luncheon for girls at the
Grace NJ. E. church on next Wednes-
day.
Ready to Proceed
eve are beginning in a small way,
and hope to work into something larg-
er as we go on" Mrs. Scott said. =
shall do my best to keep the thing
going for this first year, for the girls
seem to be most interested in doing
everything that they can"
The committee is now known as the
Business women'S conservation com
| mittee.
The girls themselves have also or
ganized, the council girls, that had
been acting as the key girls, in COLI
| Meeting the different shops and stores
with the invitation committee, having
| formed the Virginia Asher council.
| Officers in this organization have al
ready been selected although a place
of meeting has not been decided upon.
/ Bible Study Glasses
The prayer meetings, which were
under the direction of Dr. A. H. Bac-
| kus, and Miss Florence Kinney, have
been formed into Bible study classes,
meeting at least once a week. These
I groups are organized very much in the
| same manner as the neighbOrhOod
prayer meetings were held. DR..
Backus, assisted by Rev. H. S. James.
| is in charge of the new undertaking.
Noon shop meetings have been de-
cided upon for a large number of
shops, but the organization which will
| carry on this work has not yet been
deciced, neither the Billy Sunday club
now being formed, or the religious
! education committee of the Y. NJ. c.
I A, having had a chance to come TO
i a decision.
Boys Organize
Not to be outdone by the men, the
boys that had been associated with
Albert Peterson at the tabernacle, in
selling hymn books, and helping Pete
do his chores about the place, organ
lied a Pete" club. and are hoping tC
carry on" as effectively as any OF
| the groups.
The last organization to group them
selves together was the chorus, who
took definite action in that direction
on Friday night.
Boys and girls, and teachers that
| were reached by Miss Kinney and Mr.
Rodeheaver are the only groups thai
have not suggested a permanent or
ganization. The boys are already
grouped into the NJ. Z. F. club Move
Up Forward), while the teachers, with
the women that attended Miss Kin
ney's daily Bible classes are enrolling
into the Neighborhood Bible study
groups. Only the girls are left without
some group action.
