Richmond, Va.
Apr. 6, 1926 (Tues.)
Dear papa and mama,
A big bus load of us took a sight seeing
tour of the city of Richmond yesterday afternoon-Poe's
shrine, 'St.John's Church with
Patrick Henry's pew where he made the famous
speech, Battle Abbey with mural decorations
and relics commemorating the heroes of the
Confederacy, several parks we had never seen,
and many minor places of historic interest.
We never could have found them all in our car
for we didn't know where to go,
Sunday was a Red-letter day in the MizDah
Church and Church School. We have been
working toward a goal of 250 in' S.S. for that
day, and we had 305 -
practically double the f
number on the lst.Sun. in March. Only 23
were visitors, so we went well over the goal
with members of our S.S. The Church itself
was jammed for the 11 o'clock service, many having i
to stand up around the walls and in the entrance.
Then last night we had our Workers' Conference
and faced the situation of two departments being
already over crowded, and the need of more room
at the Very start. But if we can 'keep the
enthusiasm we now have I think we will be able
to build additional section in a year or two.
At the party in the new church given last Thursday
night we had about 1000 people in all, and many
of them said it was the most beautiful church
they ever saw for its size
