Papers explaining the call for funds to send to the European Relief were sent to all the ministers to be read from their pulpits last Sunday and a request that a collection be taken later. The Advent people felt the call so keenly that they took up a collection of fifty dollars at once. The apportionment for Hampton is three hundred dollars and each organization will be asked to contribute. The W. R. Corps voted a subscription at its meeting on Wednesday. The people of the Baptist church will be asked for a collection after the sermon next Sunday. The other churches will do their parts later on no doubt.
