ta!nmeat of the great gathering. Commit
tees of the union have already been select
ed and announced and are now organizing
for a vigorous years work.
The Lookout Committee.
OF these committees there are six. the
most important Of which is the lookout
committee. Miss Lizzie Warman of the
Gunton Temple Memorial Presbyterian
Church has been appointed chairman. Size
has had no particular official connection
with the union prior to this time, but has
been such a successful worker in all lines
OF Endeayor activity that her influence as
chairman of the lookout committee IS eX
pected to be of great value to all the So
cieties. The lookout committee, composed
of twelve members, is organized for the
purpose of assisting in any way desired
any society of the union, either with sug-
gestions or by practical work with and for
the society. Last year the committee had
charge of az least one prayer meeting IN
every society save ore and. in addition, a
system of intervisitation was arranged, by
which more than six hundred Endeavorers
visited meetings in other societies tnaI
their own. The work of this committee is
a most important factor in keeping the
societies IN tuoch with one another and
with the union.
The Missionary Committee.
Another branch of the unions work is
given In charge of the missionary commit
tee, also composed of twelve members,
whose chairman is Miss Florence Shuttle of
the T, Street Baptist Church. Miss Shuttle
was a member OF this committee last year
and acquired an Intimate knowledge of the
work and much valuable experience as to
its objects and best methods Of carrying

keep each individual society interested in
missionary projects of whatever character,
whether home, foreign or city. By spread
ing information concerning mission fields
and missionary organizations the commit
tee seeks to enlist more generous giving on
the part of the various societies. But it's
function is limited to educating and ell
thus:ng and does not contemplate the col
lection of funds; this latter work is always
and only done through the missionary
boards in the various determinations.

The good citizenship committee. of which
Judge Arson s. Taylor is chairman this
year, as he was last, is organized fer the
