kett Makes 800 New Members NATIONAL IDEAL BENEFIT

SOCIETY HOLDS GREAT ENTHUSIASTIC DRIVE

Ov*r 800 Recruits Added

One of the biggest and most successful events ever held in the city of Richmond was the termination of

the membership drive of the Nation- al Ideal Benefit Society, Inc., at the Sharon Baptist Church, Thursday night, March 15.

At eight-thirty o’clock the edifice

was filled to its capacity with old and new members. Rev. R. S. An-

derson, special guest and pastor of

St. James and Center Baptist Churches, Amelia County, Virginia conducted the devotionals, after which Supreme Master, Mr. A. W.

Holmes, presented Mrs. Lelia W.

Bankett, National Lecturer and di- rector of the drive. With everything systematically ar-

' ranged for receiving reports, Mrs. Bankett proceeded to call the roll of the various loaal lodges and nurser- ies. It was inspiring to listen to the responses which netted the organization 861 new members. Mesdames M. S. Payne, S. B. Cog-

bill, 0. W. Smith and Susie E. J.

Grant, the efficient clerical force; deputies J. R. Hicks, T. L. Beverly and B. W. Perkins, with others as-

sisting, handled the reports with satisfaction and rapidity. The general committee comprised the local

deputies, associate deputies, counsel- ors, guardians and the office force, all of whom contributed largely to the success of the effort.

Mrs. Sarah Tunstall, of Hanover

County, accompanied by a large number of her members, and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Carter, of Glen Allen, Virginia, were present and made en- couraging remarks. Other speakers were: Mr. Jno. S. Powell, Dr. W. H. Smith, and Rev. R. H. Johnson. The overwhelming success of the

drive is not only attributed^ to the high esteem in which the lea'der and Supreme Master is held and the even tenor in which he has managed and controlled the affairs of this growing institution throughout the years of its existence, and the clean, honest'

method employed in conducting the

business; but the fact is that the

citizens and friends, as well as the

entire membership of the National Ideal Benefit Society, feel elated over the work now in progress of exten-

sively remodeling the Ideal Home Of- fice building. This added much in-

terest and enthusiasm to the drive.

If one wants to visualize, with the

natural eye, the progress the organization really is making, stop at 210

East Clay Street; take a si e view

gaze and note the two-'jiory brick

addition in the rear, then observe the

excavating work being conducted to

build the front addition, bringing the structure out to the street line.

The building, when completed, is

anticipated to be one of the prettiest in Richmond. Of course nothing else could be expected when the famous architect, Prof. C. T. Russell, drew the plans. Contractors A. T. Holmes

and George Moody, with their well-

traihed men, are on the job daily, giving first clasB workmanship. The

beautiful, spacious building will be

ready for occupancy about the mid- dle of June, and the 16th annual

convention will meet in it the first

Tuesday in September, 1928.
