AS Miss Ellingson stepped to the
front of the platform to announce an
address Of welcome by Corrinne May
in behalf of the Minneapolis Juniors,
she was greeted with the waving Of
red. white and blue handkerchiefs by
the little folks who thus showed their
love and respect for their superinten-
! dent.
| Corrinne May a little miss, in a clear
voice and graceful manner gave a
! hearty speech Of welcome which was
responded to in behalf of the visitors
| by another little miss, Glennie Gauld,
| of Duluth >
Our Pledge" was the subject of an
address by Miss Ellingson. She an
alyzed the Endeavor pledge and used
plain, simple language so that all the
| little folks could understand. She
asked the Juniors many questions
about their pledge which were quickly
| answered, showing that they had been
| thoroughly instructed
Mrs. Moore, of ST. Paul gave a talk
on Christian Citizenship" and al
Though 1t might be supposed subject
| too deep for the little ones, she made
1t clear and plain by use of objects.
She showed a bottle filled with dark
! substance, and told the juniors to fill
this vessel with all things which were
| wrong. Then by use of chemicals she
changed the black liquid into a clear
! fluid, and said it was thus that Jesus
| Christ would cleanse their wicked
hearts and make them white as snow.
! George Robinson, in singing 1.-The
! Sweet Story of DID," pleased the whole
audience and demonstrated that he had
! considerable musical talent.
The next feature on the programme
was one in aid Of missions. 1t was an
exercise and drill given by about thirty
little boys and girls. A part of them
represented home missions, while the
others presented the claims Of the for
eign field. Several mission songs were
rendered and difficult drills executed
In conclusion the Endeavor pledge was
repeated.
Mrs Wartenbe gave the little folks
an object lesson, using an apple as the
object. She showed that as the apple
seeds were treasures hidden away, so
were the junior societies. But they
were expected to develop and grow and
and bring forth fruit
AS their names were called by Mrs
Wartenbe, the various societies repre-
sented responded by repeating a verse
OF Scripture. A ST. Paul delegation
was present and twenty-three Mime
apolis societies responded.
The meeting closed with music, and
the little folks departed feeling a
greater interest than ever in their Ju-
nior Endeavor societies.
SERVICES FOR LADIES.
Wesley M. E. church was crowded
with ladies yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock, when the special service ar
ranged for them opened. The bright
toned fall costumes gave the assem-
blage peculiar charm and the rays Of
the setting sun streaming through the
stained glass windows, showed hun
dreds of thoughtful faces turned
toward the speakers platform in an
ticipation of womanly eloquence and
helpful counsel There was naturally
some disappointment at the unavoid-
able absence Of Mrs Booth-Tucker. but
the programme was q most interesting
one in every respect. Miss Carrie Hol-
brook presided and several hymns were
sung at intervals in the service All
the addresses dealt with the idea of
home life for women in the broader
and nobler aspects Of practical Chris
tianity.
Miss Nettia, Harrington, of James,
which make so much in the sum of
daily life and advised the cultivation
of the virtues which tend toward toll
GRAFTON, patience and charitableness.
Mrs. T. B. Walker read a very in
teresting paper entitled "A String Of
Pearls" putting into categorical form
the thought that time is the most price
less pearl given to women and that the
pearls should neither be neglected nor
wasted. Speaking of cheerfulness. she
said that the people who cultivated
eheerfulness, found the world pleasant
and added to their personal charm
The sunny smile only becoming a re-
atty when it came from the heart of
the Christian conviction that troubles
and worries need not necessarily fret
the spirit She said that most women
trace wrinkles on their faces simply by
frettlng over trifies. The suggestions
in regard to higher spiritual develop
ment were aptly put and the paper was
listened to with deep attention.
Miss Margaret Evans, of Carleton
| college, gave a most scholarly and i'm
pressive address on the beauty of home
life and its relation to the spiritual af-
fairs not only of the inmates Of the
home, but of all the outer world with
whom they came in contact She
traced the various comforts and at
fractions of the material home and
pOIHlSQ OuI lnc corresponding spiritual
advantages, maintaining that the true
Christian home possesses a special
charm unattainable by any where
Christianity Is absent.
