"VIRGIN VIEWS"

PREACHING, TEACHING OR PLANTING SEEDS.

It has come to my attention that some of our read- ers have commented about my editorials that "Virginia is preaching again. Every one is entitled to their own opinion and can call them as they see them."

To make this fact evident was one of my purposes in founding Tvia and in continuing it. Probably nobody in history has had contact with more people, more material,more ideas, more everything having to do with this subjest than I have.
