Last night the Christian Endeavor had
charge of the services, and an audience al
most large enough to MI the immense au-
ditorium m Reports regarding the
society were made and addresses made by
Rufus NJ. Jones and Others. In February
a convention of all the societies included
in the Yearly Meeting will be held here.
The society has adopted the constitution
of the Friends international Union and
has also decided to adopt the plan of the
Tything League, the pledge of which is
to give o%ne-tenth of the income to the work
large as a year ago., but this is probably
due to the culling of the societies, which,
while it reduces the number of members,
gives a much more active membership.
The new officers selected are: Mary Hus-
sey. missionary superintendent; Clarkson
Parker, president: Sara Nicholson, secre-
tary and treasurer: Laura White, superin-
tendent of the Junior Endeavor: vice presi-
dents for the quarterly meetings.: Long
