NATIONAL IDEAL MEMBERSHIP
DRIVE GATHERING MOMEN-
TUM.

The second stage of the National
Ideal Membership Drive of Norfolk,
Va, found the Red and Blue Dl-
visions in very fine shape at CARROTS
Independent Community Church Sun
day 8 P. M. There was an increase
| in the attendance of the Blue d.
vision, lead by Captain John Purvls;
This increase, however, did not equal
| that of the Red Division.
Devotional exercises were IN
charge of Rev. B. G. Whitfield and
Rev. E. M. Morris.
Captain John Purvis opened for
the Blues by stating that he and his
workers were not concerned about
making a great show in the begin
ming of this drive, but they would an
initiate their enemy in the last stage
of the conflict. He spoke of the high
qualities of the order and urged his
workers to do all they can to make
the drive a success.
Captain Elizabeth Clark spoke for
the Reds. The burden of her mes
sage was an appeal for some good
stiff opposition from her opponents SO
she and her valiant workers could ex-
ert themselves in this campaign.
Rev. B. C. Whitfield, in very be-
fitting address, presented Rev. r. K:
D. Garrett, the principle speaker of
the evening. The wonderful discourse
of the eminent divine was built
around the thought of racial cooper
alton. 1t is needless to say that he
gave his audience some very sane and
timely advice. Every one present ex-
pressed his appreciation for this adj
dress. ).
The most exciting moments OF
these exercises were doing the tally
ing of reports by the Reds and Blues.
At one time it appeared that the
Blues were coming out ahead, but the
final count showed the Reds were
masters of the situation with con-
siderable lead over the Blues.
Mrs. Mary Suffer, splendid Blue
worker, delivered short insplra-
tional address in which she encour-
