AN-'A'D'
The Endeavor society of the CongrC-
gational church held it's semi-annual
meeting for the choice of officers on
Thursday evening, January 81. AS il
at a different time in the year, it was

continue to serve until May, when new
ones will be elected. These officers
are as follows:
President, +. F.. Starr.
Vice president, w. II. Percy.
Recording secretary, Miss Minnie
Lake.
Corresponding secretary, Miss Emma
l.. johnson.
Treasurer. Miss Grace ii. Turrill.
The society will observe Endeavol
day at its regular meeting on Tuesday
evening, when an address will be made
by Rev George b. Soper of the First
Church, Danbury, and an interesting
time is anticipated.
The pastor preached on Sunday
morning a sermon appropriate to En-
dcavor day, which was very interesting.
He briefly reviewed the movement
from he start. showing how from the
small beginning it has spread all over
the world. until it's members are num-
bered by millions. He considered it
the greatest religious movement in
the Nineteenth century and for which
that century will ever be famous. He
referred to the Junior societie, as be-
ing very hopeful work, and called
upon parents who have young children
to help and encOurge them to become
members and then to guide them SO
that they may get great good from it.
He urged all the active members to
be loyal to their pledge and to give
their motto, "FOr Christ and the
church, the first place even when
pleasure and inclination were drawing
the other way and it requires some
sacrifice to be true to the Master. He
eulogized DR. Clark, the founder and
president of the United Society, as one
whose head had not been turned by
the wonderful success of the move
ment but is the same humble, earnest
worker that he was 20 years ago.
