Arrangements for our County Christian
Endeavor Convention are ABOUT Dom
pleted. aud our Endeavorers are to have
the pleasure of hearing two OF the most
Jealous and consecrated woik9rs OF the
Lord now before the public Mrs. H. M.
Whittemore who will speak 10 the alter
noon upon the subject: Positions in
Christ" has gained for herself a national
reputation through her door of Hope"
work in New York City. Those who
have read the history of the beginnings
of that work: how che founder ~restlsd
long with God to know whether the sug
gestion in her heart was from Him or not,
how hundreds of thousands OF dollars
have since come without single request
or intimation 10 any one except her God
10 whom she trusts. Those who have
read the pathetic account of how she
found Della LauRhlin-better known as
"Blue Bird"-and rescued her, need 10
introduction to this magnetic pleader.
Neither will they need an urgent invita-
ton to come and hear her at our coming
Endeavor Convention. Her address can
be heard by friends from the lower end
of the county who come to Daretown on
the train, and desire to return by train
again instead of remaining over for the
evening But VIC would advise all eoh0
possibly can, to come in conveyances and
remain for the evening session also. In
the evening she will speak on Light
From the Depth, and the subject readily
suggests that in it she will deal with
facts drawn from her own enviable
experience among the fallen. Then too.
DR.. J. Clement French, the second
speaker, could only be secured for the
evening, and none can afford to miss the
opportunity of hearing this mighty man
of God, who has been leading the
Endeavor host of our State SO success
fully for the past two and half years.
DR.. French is pastor of Presbyterian
Church in Newark. But his time and
services are so much in demand that
there is scarcely public speaker in the
State that has greater record of public
speaking back of him for the past three
years. He is constantly in demand; it
was only his great interest in State work
that finally enabled us p secure him.
His subject will bs "S$6 xSand Saving."
Those who have beSs attending our |
State and National Christian Eudeavor |
Conventions need no special invitation to |
hear this great champion of all advance |
Christian Endeavor movements. Nothing |
but sickness or death can cause them to |
miss it. But do want to urge all who |
have never heard either of these speakers |
to make every effort to attend both |
sessions. You really do not realize what |
you would be missing by not attending.
The meeting will take place on Jan.
2OGh, and will not be postponed because
of nFa n ln
rain or shine" the convention will take
place. 1t will be held in the Daretown
Baptist Church, and if the audience can.
not be accommodated by it, DR.. Ewing
and his church board will gladly welcome |
the overflow company into their large
church, where the program will be
repeated All therefore, under the most |
extraordinary circumstances. will have
an opportunity to get the full benefits of
the convention DIR. E1ing's Church is
quite near by the Convention Church,
and even though the latter will seat
about seven hundred, yet tie committee |
will not be surprised if the former will be |
needed. This is an occasion and an
opportunity which no intelligent citizen
of our county and bordering counties |
will allow to pass unimproved Our
Epworth League friends and all Christians |
interested 10 the salvation and spiritual |
growth. of the young people of our
county are earnestly requested to make
every effort to attend.
And as parting word, let every |
Christian Endeavor Society in the Union |
set apart Sunday, Monday aud Tuesday
evenings, Jan. 18th, 18Th and 18Th, for
meetings for special prayer in behalf of
the convention Next weeks papers will
give the full program.
