In every attitude toward everyone

everywhere.
Rev Bingham spoke next on public
ly confessing Christ. Why be ashamed
of Christ? Speak for him, present
him as sympathizing friend. Mr.
Applebee touched a key note when he
said, 1--WE try so hard to keep from
doing wrong that we forget to do
right"
ln the absence OF Rev Porter, OF
Lake Charles, Rev Gonzales delivered
an excellent address on "Looking on
the Field-C E Missions and Mission
airy Possibilities. He said in part:
No society can be alive, active and
real without being missionary. The
greater the outgoing activity the great
er the indwelling activity and there is
life. G E is one of the best means of
doing missionary work and it is doing
it through its training, its gifts, its
prayers. We must pray for the gift
OF liberality as we'll as that of grace,
faith and love. The speaker suggest
ed means of creating missionary zeal.
Make special preparation for monthly
missionary meetings. The societies
shONld each have one OK the maps Of
the worlds missions, manufactured
by Flemming & Revelle, of Chicago.
The possibilities are limitless. If the
power OF God is linked the zeal and
work of men and women, who can tell
the result: On giving, the speaker
said, "lf you can't send whole man
to the field iD your place, send part
of a man and let some other fellow
help you send him. And remember
you are not giving to God until you
have returned to him his one-tenth. 1t
is not the big gifts that count. Don't
wait until you can do so much. Rev.
Polsgrove then brought the Endearor-
ers with the practical side. Hearing
good speeches does not send the man.
1t lies with you and | to furnish the
means. We have the men waiting to
be sent" Some brief accounts were
given of the four natives being edu.
Gated by the congregational c E of
Jennings and the boy in India whom
the Lake Charles Christian C E are
educating. This rich morning session
closed with song and Mizpah.

Rev Polsgrove, of Jennings, led the
Devotional service, opened with sing
ing followed with prayer by the lead
er. Prayer, Rev Gonzales. The
scriptural lesson was the BIRD Psalm,
and the Spirit seemed truly to have
breathed into the session THE Lord
is my Shepherd" Rev Polsgrove
spoke of the goodness, the great love
of God, of the Saviour "journeying
with me- He referred to the power
of the hymn sung before going to the
battle of Bunker Hill. His remarks
were followed by many sentence
prayers. Business was next taken up
and reports were given from the diff
ferent societies. These reports showed
good membership, active work and by
all was expressed the wish to make
the coming year better in every way
than the one just past. Time and
place committee reported invitations
from nearly all societies in the dis
trict. Jennings invitation accepted,
to be held in the Christian church,
about the 18th of January 1907.
Enrolment committee reported
fifty-two delegates, thirty-six of whom
were visiting delegates. Officers

Treas L L Crowl, Jennings. Treas
urer reported 1925 in treasury.
Rev } B Gonzales being unable to
remain for the closing session of the
evening, delivered his address on
Function, Our G E Peutecost. The
question was asked, how best accom-
plish all the Endeavorers see to do?
Not by being satisfied with the ma
chinery. A Christian does not do his
whole duty when he comes TO all the
committee meetings or never fails to
testify or sing in the choir, neither
does the minister when he breaches
twice on Sunday, and conducts the
midweek prayer meeting, "By their
fruits We shall know Them. Power
