A new society has been Organized in our
church, which is called "The Associated
Workers of the U. b. Church. Their OBJ
ject is the furtherance of all forms of
church work. The work will be portioned
out to committees-as aiOOkoCt committee,
Good Samaritan committee, a Sabbath
school committee, q church and prayer
meeting committee, etc. The members
will be divided into active and associate
members, as they may choose to divide
themselves by the pledges they may sign,
binding themselves to engage in the work
of the church and society. They will meet
next Sabbath evening to elect officers, ap-
point committees and start the work. We
certainly hope for good results from this
movement, as there is great need of organ
lied work In all our churches.
