To Friends and Foes.
TO the public in general this
edition of The Daily Progress
is presented with our cordial
good wishes and appreciation
for their kind co-operation. It is issued
after many weeks of tireless energy,
great expense and difficulties, and
will, we think, compare favorably
with any similar work ever undertaken
here. No one but those actively
engaged in its construction can appreciate
the extent of the work required
to bring it to its present state. We
have taken every care possible to
make the edition as perfect and complete
as our space would allow. Only
a very few of our citizens failed to
enter into the spirit of our enterprise,
which takes in everything from the
largest manufacturing concerns to the
smallest business, and shows at a
glance, the wonderful progress and
activity going on in and about this
modern Garden of Eden. We trust
that the far-reaching publicity given
to the write-ups of these wide-a-wake
concerns will redound to their credit
and incidentally to that of our beautiful
city and county. We believe that
thousands of copies of this issue of The
Progress will be preserved as souvenirs
to show those who follow what Charlottesville
was and looked like in the
year of grace 1906. The selections we
have made will show at least how
rich an heritage we have bequeathed.
CHARLOTTESVILLE from
the standpoint of religion is
represented by almost every
shade of Christian belief. A
broad spirit of toleration exists, and
our citizens dwell harmoniously in
brotherly love and good will. The
noble edifices reared by different denominations
are beautiful specimens
of architecture, adding greatly to the
picturesque features of the town. We
herewith present a detailed list of the
churches belonging to the various denominations:
The churches are, Baptist,—the
First, Fife's Memorial Chapel,
Rose Hill Chapel, High Street; the
Christian, Christ Episcopal, Belmont
Methodist Episcopal, Charlottesville
Methodist, the Presbyterian, the Catholic
Church of the Holy Paraclete, the
Jewish Beth Israel, and the undenomination
Union Mission. The churches
for the colored people are five - Ebenezer,
First Baptist, Mt. Zion, Shiloh,
Zion Union, and the John Wesley
Methodist.
Let us have faith that right makes
might, and in the faith let us dare to
do our duty as we understand it.—
Lincoln.
