A sacred light hovers over all our associations wtth you, and It shall not he diminished by reason of change, distance or time, but is of an immortal kind, because It wae kindled not by things temporal. The holy associations that gather about work done for God, and that done for man for God's sako, belong to the eternal, and, continuing througout time, live also out Into the unending future. These ore the treasures wo carry away wtth us from dear old Richmond, and they have been gathered within thn membership of tho First Pres? byterian Church not only, but among the good peoplo of nil creeds.

TRUST MAY TAKE IT YET This Would Mean Salvation for It, and Will Probably Happen If Company Is Not Adjudicated Bankrupt. Reducing Employees. Despite tho fact that a petition to have the William R. Trlgg Company adjudi? cated bankrupt Is still pending In the Federal District Court, the officials and friends of tho company have not yet de? spaired of continuing tho company under the ret'.elvershlp appointed t>y the State courts and ultimately of effecting a re? organization of the corporation. The fleht being mado hy the Trlgg Company ngalnst tho Involuntary hiinkruptcy proceeding ?a n?ithlng moro or less than nn effort to re? tain the matter under the Jurisdiction of the State courts nnd the operation of the company under the receivership until th* reorganization Is effectud.

It Is an open secret that tho receiver and othors interested In tho Trigg Com? pany still entertain definite and strong hopes of reorganization, but Just what those hopes are founded upon, and whnt measures will be resorted to re? habilitate the plant are not discussed.

Certainly the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings, nnd subsequent developments are belnir awaited with Interest. RICHMONDERS GENEROUS. It la believed thnt tho people of Rich? mond would willingly do anything In their power to help the Trlgg Company back to its feet ngnln. The Richmond creditors, as one man ngreed to th* terms, proposed for settlement, and the people would probably subscribe to enough stock of the company, If put within the reach of all, to help materially In paying all Its obligations, but many be? lieve that the best thing possible for the yards would be for them to lie tnlc'n over by somo concern llko tho T'nlted States shipping combino.

"The history of nlne-lontha of the crim? inals is that they grow up in the streets, with a lack of motherly or fatherly In?lu. enee, and, as I en id at the convention, If parents would keep in closer touch with their children thuio would ho less need for reforma tories and there would be fewer criminals."
