the Necessity for Such
Work

noted Christian Endeavor workers IN
the world, and general secretary of the
natfonal organization, addressed a mass
meeting of the Endeavorers of the Dis
trict Of Columbia last night at the First
Presbyterian Church Mr.. Vogt has
been secretary for two years, and in
that time he has esta blished a reputation
as speaker. Last night he won the
hearts of his hearers by his simple but
eloquent style OF speaking.
The keynote OF the address was the
necessity for CHRISTIAN Endeayor work
The speaker referred to the fact that a
great number of young people drift from
the Sunday school and church because
there is nothing to keep them inter
ested, There is no work, he said, more
effective in this direction than live and
energetic Christian Endeavor society in
a church, and he urged that societies
should adopt rules and plans applicable
to their particular congregations and not
conf1ne themselves to fixed forms and
customs.
Banners were presented to the socie-
ties from the following churches; Cal

Mr.. Warner. who retired from the

missing Is $50, 900. of which s.. 600 was in
gold and the remainder S. $40 and $40
notes, according to the officials OF the
bank.
Officials say that despite the disap-
pearance of the money the Government
reserve is still considerably above that
amount required. The missing sum is
supposed to have been taken from two
f1reproof combination chests on top Of

box and the chests are inside the bank
