With a great outpouring of sympathetic sentiment and religious feeling, the Baptists gathered in the First Baptist Church last night, began on their four-day campaign to raise $50,000 for missionary work and support of the weaker churches in Richmond. Every church of the Baptist faith was represented according to the number of its congregation, the whole gathering being representative of its Baptists in Richmond. Addresses, urgent and appealing from every angle, were made by minister, layman and lay woman. It was very evident, from the spirit manifested, that the movement will be more than successful in its outcome.
The meeting was the first rallying move. Supper was served, and the few who missed the meal because of a tire in the restaurant furnishing the meals, shoved their empty plates away and did not mind.
