PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
Members and Friends of Maine State
Union:
Once more under the direction of Provi
dence we are assembled in annual con-
vention. Again we exchange the greet
ings of fellowship, and again we scan the
record Of year that is gone that we may
better plan for year to come. The
record in detail will be given in the re-
ports of the several officers. will only
call your attention to the welcome fact
that cit is we'll with us. We have had
a prosperous year. Our membership has
rapidly increased. The missionary con-
tributions were larger than ever before.
and best of all an increased number has
|
membership from the ranks of our En-
deavorers.
The watchword "Adyance" suggested
at the Lewiston convention has evidently
been the motto of our workers and its
impulse has been felt in all departments.
AS you are already aware the Work OF
your State Union is limited to the'annual
conventions and the collection and dis
trs ~ ~
plete enrolment and more accurate report
of this year is made possible by the un-
tiring perseverance of your corresponding
secretary. The imperfections of the report
are largely the fault of local societies, and
are due to neglect in answering the calls
from the State Union.
AS we look forward the prospect is en-
couraging. The increased number of En-
deavorerS is certainly better equipped
than ever before, and just now we are
under the special impulse of the great
Boston convention.
Sixteen hundred people from Maine
heard the thrill of enthusiasm which filled
those days in July, and with inreased
vigor in the the cause of Christ those
people are now returned to grasp their
work with firmer faith and brighter
hope.
We learned of the hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars which have been given
for home and foreign missions, and we
rejoiced that we had a share in that good
work. We learned of the battles which
are being fought for the cause OF Tenn
perance, Social Purity and all the phases
Of good citizenship. Incidentally We
noted that each section has its peculiar
needs and each its peculiar problems to
study. The particular duty of members
in Utah may differ from the call which
appeals of those in New York city.
ask your attention to the particular needs
of Maine.
Taking the reports of our missionary
societies as guide. I believe that the
Imperative need in our State today is ag-
gressive Home Missionary effort More
than that, believe the time is now ripe
for crusade of Christian Endeavor along
this line. I use the phrase Home Mis-.
