1.-THE fountain source Of all Christian
Endeavor work is the local society in the
local church. To increase the volume Of
this perennial fountain is the object Of
the senior society. Each new year We
close up the history Of the past and turn
over q new leaf. When a member Of a
a Christia Endavor society arrives at the
years Of Discretionary about 80, but the
nature Of the problem forbids exact days
and dates-then 1t Is advisable to turn
over a new leaf and take up work in the
senior department.
"It is the design Of the senior society
70 be vitality connected with the mid-week
prayer meeting. In large churches the
organization will be simple. not much
more than committee. to increase the at
tendance and spontanity Of the regular
prayer meeting led by the pastor. In
the average church the organization may
be complete: officers and committees,
connection with the county union, regu-
lar Christian Endeavor topics. and with
different leaders. The pastor in his re-
marks can introduce a new subject II
necessary. This, in brief, is the plan"
