TOPICS FOR 4 DAY OF RESI-

A meeting Of Importance to all members
Of the Christian Bndeavor societies Of the
country was held on December 70 at BUs-
ton by the executive committee Of the
board Of trustees OF the United Society Of
Christian Endeavor, which Is composed Of
an afiiliation Of all OF the various local
societies In this and other countries. At
this meeting William Shaw, who has been
Identified with the Christian Endeavor
movement from its inception and who is
well known among the young people OF
the country, was elected general secretary
to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton OF Won ogden Vogt, who~fesigned 10
accept a position on the board OF the
Presbyterian home mission. A committee
was also appointed to secure the services
OF an assistant secretary, IN order that the
work of Christian Endeavor may be or
ganized more thoroughly than ever In the
past.
Another nonsalaried office was created
by the board Of trustees that of editorial
secretary Of the United society, and Amos
r. Wells, an author Of some note, was
elected to MI Il.
That the Oh istian Endeavor does not
content Itself with the regular weekly
prayer meeting was proven by reports that
came TO the board from all over the world
Of aggressive service undertaken by the
societies and union with most gratifying
results. II was also shown that Endeav-
orers are giving hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars every year to sustain their own
churches and build up the missionary
causes of their own denominations.
The general awakening of the churches
OF the country to the evangeistlc impulse
was the topic Of much discussion by the
assembled members OF the board of trus-
tees. This awakening was exhibited by
the remarkable series Of meetings held by
Gypsy Smith at Boston and Portland, by
Dr. Torrey at Omaha and by other emf
nent evangellsts in other parts OF the
country.
GLORY to the Newborn King; Peace on
Earth, Good VIII to Man" the anthem and
