Following this Union service re-
ception was given the visiting dele
gates by the local C. E., in which new
acquaintances were formed and all
made to feel that a hearty welcome
was given them. There was an unus-
ually large number of delegates pres
ent at this meeting.
4 Christian Endeavor.
The Tuesday meeting Of the Chris
tian Endeavor Union in Penn chapel
was largely attended and all came to-
/ gether in the spirit of true devotion.
The presence of the Master was felt
from the beginning of tine service.
The report of the secretary was not
complete, as some societies were slow
to report. There is much work being
done and along some lines a decided
! increase is noticed.
! The treasurer's report shows all
pledges by the Union paid, and many
OF the societies not yet reported
| These pledges include the report Of
three missionaries at Glen Haven, ia
maica. Not only are all pledges paid,
but there is now over $4,000 left in
the treasury.
Mary White, returned missionary
from Jamaica, gave report of the
work in the field. She spoke largely
of the work of Glen Haven, where Al
bert and Ola Courtney are located,
and are supported by the c. e. Union.
They are earnest, consistent Christian
workers and the Lord is greatly bless
ing their efforts in the salvation Of
souls. Some Of the work undertaken
and accomplished by the children and
young people there would almost put
us to shame here for not doing more.
Alice Kennedy, who is assisting in
the work there, spends much time in
visiting families and thus creates
greater interest in mission work.
Their hearts are indeed in the work,
and they are giving the Lord the best
Of their abilities.
