Notes of Interest to Christian En-

UCntVEOAbs
The date of the fall session of the
County Christian Eudeavor Union has
been postponed one month. Sickness in
the family of Mrs Whittemore, of doc r
of Hope" fame, who is to be one of the
speakers, has necessitated this change of

The newly selected date will be made
known through our county papers, IN due
time to give every Endeavorer an oppor-
tunity to arrange to hear this magnetic
rescuer of the "Magdalenes" of New
York's slums. The convention will be
held in the Daretown Baptist Church, and
the afternoon session will be SO arranged
that Eudeavorers and Christian friends
from Canton. Hsrmersville, Hancock's
Bridge, Quinton, Alloway and Salem will
be able to arrive by train, and return
again by the evening train if they SO
desire.
Three of our Sub Unions or Sections
are already fully organized, and two of
them have completed arrangements for
their first meeting. The Deerfisld Sec
tion, with the Rev. D. l. Camp, of the
Deerfield Presbyterian Church. as it's
energetic President, will hold its first
session on Tuesday evening, Dec. 18th, at
Friendship, with Bro. Shapley's young
people
The oodstown Section, under the care
of Mrs. Collier as it's oonsecrated Presi
dent, will hold it's first session in the
Woodstown Presbyterian Church on
Wednesday evening, Dec. 10th. Both
these sections have bright prospects for
useful and blessed future.
The Elmer Section, with our beloved
sister, Miss Lizzie Vented, of the Shir-
ley Society, as President, is about ready
to step into line, and the fourth Section
has arranged for large union meeting,
to be held in the First Baptist Church of
Salem. on Thursday evening, Dec. 18th.
At this meeting the fourth and only re-
naming Section will be fully organized.
Steps are already being taken to organize
the Pennsgroye, Pedricktown and Auburn
part of the county into a fifth Section,
and our Union will then have covered the
