YOUR CONSOLATION

Life's a funny proposition after all. It's no use to kick against the pricks and squall. For no matter how you try You're in luck if you get by. For the pessimist Is looking for your fan. You may try your very best to do the right, You may work with all your power day and night But in spite of all you do. There's a hammer out for you. It's no use to pull your coat and want to' fight. . r Now the only thing to do Is travel straight . If you can not fish you have to cut the bait ....... If vour conscience says you're true

That should be enough for you, And you needn't think about your future fate. L. A. Handley.

What is the Federation? The Richmond Church Federation is an organization of protectant congregations, headed by President Robert L. Kelly, of , Earlham college, which has for its purpose the advancement of Christianity by co-operative effort with all competition and petty jealousies eliminated.

This is the First Advertisement of Its Kind That Ever Appeared in a Richmond Newspaper A Survey of Richmond's 27,450 Citizens, Just Completed By the Richmond Church Federation Shows That:

60 of Richmond People Belong to Some Church 40 of Richmond People Do Not Belong to Church

What Are You Doing?. If you deplore conditions as they exist what are you doing to help improve them? The Simultaneous Evangelistic campaign offers every man, woman and child a chance to do something for Richmond and for God. What are you going to do? Are you going to be a stumbling block or a stepping stone? It's up to you.

If you are in the majority, these statistics constitute a challenge for you to do your part by right living and personal work to help guide the 40 per cent into the church. If you are numbered among the minority, ask yourself: What is there in religion that satisfies the cravings of other men's souls?

Might not that Same Power bring contentment and comfort to you? In fairness to yourself try to ascertain what the church is trying to do for you and study the motives which prompt its action. Suppose some friend asked you this question:

Would You Live In Richmond If It Had No Churches?

Have you ever stopped to consider what Richmond would be without churches? There would be no schools, no laws, no officers to enforce order, while crime and vice would prey upon you and your family. Neither your life nor property would be safe against the ravages of the unscrupulous outlaws who would overrun the streets. Have you ever come to a full realization of the fact that the church is the foundation for everything of good in the world ? , Without devoted members the church would cease to exist. The more devout Christians there are

in Richmond churches working together, the more good they can accomplish. Without you the church will not be as strong as with you. You can help make Richmond a better place in which to live by lending your best efforts to the church. s You admit that the church is essential to the peace and happiness of the community, for you would not live where there are no churches. Therefore, if the church is worth while is it not your duty to help it accomplish the service which you expect it to render to the community?

Jan. 28 -Feb. .25 The Simultaneous Evangelistic Campaign Jan. 28-Feb. 25

Churches As An Asset Do you want Richmond to have the reputation of being a hotbed ' of vice and crime? If not you must get into the fight against the devil, whose publicity agents and solicitors are on the Job every day and every night including Sunday. Financial assistance to the church will not rout the forces of ' evil. Your presence at church and active participation in activities which the church undertakes are Just as essential

Under the auspices of the Richmond Church Federation offers you, whether one of the 60 per cent or one of the 40 per cent, a chance to get into this great struggle to eliminate the devil. From Jan. 28 to Feb. 25, all churches of the city, working, in harmony, but each after its own method, will make a determined effort to enlist new members and to increase the spiritual power of the present membership. Watch the church announcements. Some of the congregations will hold special services each night. Others will make a personal canvass of all persons known to sympathize with their denomination and invite them to affiliate with the church. There will be no union meetings or hired evangelists. The Simultaneous Evangelistic campaign will be conducted by Richmond pastors and their congregations in theirown characteristic manner. . -

United to Fight the Devil

The Call To Battle Do you want to see Richmond grow? If so you are interested in adding to its attractiveness to outsiders, whose first question will be: "Has Richmond good churches and schools?" If the answer is no. prospective industries and citizens will look elsewhere for a location. Good churches are Just as accessary to the expansion of Richmond as a $100,000 industrial fund. They will be a more valuable asset If strengthened by your support
