around interest. In accordance with this plan

ganized, which Is to include in its membership
all members OF the society who ride bicycles:
The movement Is original with Plaintield. as
was the first church bicycle run arranged by
the Rev. c. L. Goodrich OF tho Congregational
Church last summer. At frequent. intervals
runs will be arranged, whereby exercise and the
work Of the Endeavorers can be united. The runs
will usually. be to some nnighboring, town.
where religious exercises will be held. The
squad will be led by a color bearer, who will
display the pennant of the union with its gold
monogram G. f; Tho captain is Miss Ernestino
Smith. who will be assisted by licutenants In
deciding on and managing the runs. 1t Is not
intended to take long rides. and a pace will be
set that will admit OF all riders Joining in the
trips. The first visit to be made by the squad
