tic matter before the secretary Of the

This bit OF history is given to show
the papers of the state, which have made
some severe criticisms over the apparent
lack Of interest, that there has been
quite good deal of activity along that
line. and also t. recall the important
part Harrison county has played in the

COMMITTEE
OF THE STATE CHRISTIAN EN-
DEAvoR SOCIETY HOLDS A
wELL-ATTENDED AND EN-
THUSIASTIc MEETING
HERE.
Plans Adopted for Furthstanee of the
Work Throughout the State.-Dis-
triet Organizer Appointed.

The State Christian Endeayor Exec
utive committee held a very euthusias-
tic and splendidly attended meeting here
Thursday afternoon. The members ar
rived on the morning trains and were
entertained at dinner at the home of Il.
D. Boughner, a member OF the commit
tee:
At O'Clock in the afternoon they
went into session at his home. Those
present were Rev. George W. Pollock,
of Buekhannon, the state PRESIDENT; Miss
Russell, of Sistersville, secTetary; Rev.
w. 4. Hartman, OF Wheeling, vice pres
ident; Prof. D. W. oHern, Of the State
University, another vice president; a.
J. c. Bond, of Roanoke also vice presi-
dent; Rev. W. NJ Blair, OF Salem; and
H. D. Bouglncr, state excursion man
ager.
Plans were made to further the work
Of the organization in this state and
make it more extensive and effective.
Among these plans was that for a state
tour among the prominent cities and
towns. This tour will be made by the
president and some prominent Chris
tian Endeavor worker from abroad. 1t
will be at an early date, but the time
has not been definitely decided upon.
District tours similar to the state tour
viii also be made, according TO the plans
adopted at the meeting of the execu-
tive committee. These tours are to be
made by the district Officers and work
ers. The time for these has not been
determined either, but will be in early
summer.
So far four district conventions have
been called and are as follows:
Wcllsburg, May p and 2S
EIkins. June 1920.
Parkersburg, in june.
Burnsville, June "a and 25.
There will be no state convention this
year, on account of its being the year
for holding the international convention,
there having been an arrangement for
years that the state and international
conventions should alternate. So it was
not necessary to name a date for a state
convention.
The executive committee appointed the
Rev. J. c. Stone district organizer of
the Huntington district.
A gratifying feature brought out is
that the West Virginia Christian En-
deavor organization has increased al
most ten per cent in the number of
societies the past year through a sug-
gestion made by Rev. F. E. Clark, father
of Christian Endeavor.
The international convention will be
held in Denver July 9.I3. The fare for
the round trip is remarkably low, being
only 1910, and there are many sight
seeing privileges on side trips.
There will be at least, the committee
believes. 100 delegates in attendance
from West Virginia. All who are inter
ested in the trip should write to II. D.
Boughncr. of Clarksburg. state excursion
manager, for information.
The meeting was one of the best ever
held in the history of Christian En-.
deavor in this state and the board was
highly gratifed with the deep interest
taken.
