ENDEAvoRERs' UNION.
Hold Lively Rally at First Baptist
Church.

There was a good sized gathering at
the First Baptist church last evening, the
occasion being the first OF series of
rallies to arouse work among the men,
bers of the Young Peoples Christian En-
deayor Union for the annual state con-
yention of the society which takes place
in Portland next September. Representa-
tives from most of the societies in the city
were in attendance.
MFR. K. A. Ballantyne, the president of
the Portland Union. presided and after
a brief gospel singing service, introduced
Rev E. r. Purdy, the pastor OF the
Friends church of this city. who is also
the same president of the union.
eve want to arouse the greatest in
terest, said the speaker. 80 that next
year we can have the best convention
here that has ever been held. We want
you to get your coats and vests otf and
commence this movement to arouse in
terest over the state convention. Make
the winter count by earnest application
to God and turn all of your energies for
the benefit of Portland next year.
Rev. II. @. Wilson of Gardiner spoke
on ''God's Rallying Cry During the
course of his remarks he impressed upon
the Endeavore1s the Importance of keep
ing up the work. Satan is not on the
superannuated list; he is alert and is
more powerful foe than the Spanish
soldiers were. We are depending too
much on the record of the past regarding
the Christian Endeavor movement. he
deplored the fact that more people were
not attending church and suggested that
the highways and byways should be
visited more frequently and thoroughly.
Until we can point to the lest men and
women who have been saved by the
church, men will not have very much
confidence in us. More concerted action
that will crystalize into activity for the
church is desired.
A conservation service conducted by
President Ballantyne, concluded the
meeting.
