this land, seniors as well juniors, to be
called upon to answer these questions.
And these are but a hint of the facts that
tell us what Christian Endeavor Is doing In
the mission lands.
How to Help the Leader.
Hunt UP few items bearing on the topic
and give to those who seldom take part.
Look at back numbers of Christian En-
deavor papers for information.

Ii possible have some member to repre-
sent each foreign mission country and let
them point out the country on a large man
of the world, and tell interesting items con-
corning Christian Endeavor in that part
of the globe. This might be done by differ
ent committees. For example suppose the
lookout committee had Africa, and each
member told something about it. The
first might say how many Christian En-
deavor Societies there are there now, the
second tell the difficulties and hindrances
of young Christian Endeayorer In that
land, the third speak of their faithfulness
and zeal and willingness to testify for
Christ. the fourth compare them with our
own activity, telling. II possible some story
of Africa to illustrate the point etc.
Secure as much brief, interesting informa-
ton as possible. See that every one pres
ent understands what Christian Endeayor
is doing in the world. 1t will astonish
