The North CraftsburY societv re.

| ports twenty i've active members and
seven associate; it being connected
with the Academy it's membership
varies somewhat, but on the whole.
during it's organization of eight years
it has been very prosperous. On the
evening of March 10, they held a very
interesting missionary meeting. A
program was prepared, letters from
the foreign field being read and anec-
dotes of missionary life given. A col
lection of five dollars was taken for
Capron Hall, Madeira, India.
On Sunday evening, March 10, the
Westfield society devoted the service
to the interests of the American Mis-
sionary Association and ten dollars
was app ropriated to that society. @.
E. day was observed in the evening
of Feb. and seven dollars contribut-
ed for the benefit Of the suffering Ar
menians. "The great dry goods
house," says the Christian Endeavor-
er. "of Marshall Field 81 Co. of Chi
cago, the largest, wealthiest, and most
successful in the world, has never al
lowed any of its advertisements to APP
pear in a Sunday newspaper" How
much influence shall the G. E. socie-
ties in this county have for "good cit
izenship and Sabbath observance"
Up to this time only eleven societies
have appointed a correspondent to
report local news. MAY | again ask
each society to at once attend to the
matter and send all news at once to
Rev. j. p. Marvin, West Charleston.
To make this space a profit to all,
ca oh society must be willing to do its
part.
Endeavorers, attention! Have you
new idea? If you have, send it along;
new or old ideas in regard to meth
DDS or plans for your society's work.
They may be helpful to some other
societies. Ideas, hints, anything that
has been successful in your society,o or
you think might be successful, as
bearing upon the work of prayer
meeting, lookout, social, temperance,
or other committees; or questions,
some other endeavorer, or society may
be able to help you, so send along
your questions and we will delegate
some one to give you an answer, if
wisdom fails us. This is for any En-
deavorer in the county. With thirty
one societies (Senior and junior in
Orleans Co. it is possible to make this
corner of the paper one to which ev-
cry Endeavorer, at least, will turn, so
do your part by sending in youritems.
The Barton @. E. society has heard
from Mr.. and Mrs. Gill in Picking.
They are we'll and find many ways of
helping the workers while they are
studying the language.
On Friday eve, March 20, pleasant
entertainment was given in the vestry
byMiss Case, one of the social COM
mittee. She had drilled the children
from the primary school and they did
their parts in a way that only such
little ones can. The program, carried
out entirely by the children, consist
ed of recita ions, music, songs, tab
leaux and "Bread and Milk Drill"
which was something entirely new.
After the entertainment, there was a
bundle party. The vestry was we'll
filled in spite of the storm, and about
S13 was realized to go toward what
was pledged by the society for the pi-
ano fund.
This society has also purchased
dozen extra hymn books, to be kept
in the vestry and passed to visitors.
These were found very useful asst
Sabbath evening, as there was an un-
usually large attendance, Prof. Stan
nard giving an instructive and help
full talk on "What to Read"
The Junior society is gaining. Two
new members joined at the last meet
ing, Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Ward
talked with them about faith, and
what it means to have faith in Christ.
They were very attentive and inter
ested. For news, Barton leads the
way. j. 2. M.
