ChristiaH Endcavor Convention
The 18th annual convention of the N.
J. M. 2. Conference of Christian En-
deavor vas held in the Bethel M. T.
Church, Penn's Grove on Thursday and
this Friday morning. About forty of
the leading ministers and laymen OF the
Church from a distance were present and
a goodly representation of the home peo-
pie attended the services, which were in
teresting and profitable.
Thursday evening Rev. J. B. Nixon
gave a forcible and profitable m
from Esther LA. His theme was that
every person should make use Of the pro-
vidential station into which they are
placed. We lose much by not making
the best opportunities. Our lives amount
to but little if we live a narrow, contract
ed and selfish life. We should believe
We are created for our own place in life.
Find out what our power and purpose are
and use them for the good of others.
You cannot seperate your interest from
that of your people. No mar liveth I'M
to himself. What effects one effects 9TH
ers. All are interested in religion wheth-
er we think SO or not. If all the church
es were blotted out OF this town one or
two extra policemen would be needed. 1t
is necessary to save the children of eth
ers in order to keep them from leading
our own astray. Let us give, so far as
We can, Of our sympathy, time and eff
forts to the young who will soon take our
places.
Esther came frefs-a low position to
that of Queen and che made the best use
of her opportunity to save her people,
the Jews, from destruction. We should
give ourselves to Christ, feel that we have
come to his kingdom for the purpose of
saving the people about us and make
society better by our having lived among
the people.
