AT the Seattle Endeavor convention the
general secretary, William Shaw, re-
ported the present net enrolment of So, 13S
societies. a net gain of 1856 societies.. OF
these 47.761 are Young Peoples. 2,2S5 are
intermediates, 1921 are juniors, and the
rest are floating societies and other classes,
with a total membership of 1856, 800.
From reports received from the societies
in this country we learn that 1878 mem
pers have united with the churches during
the past year. A. reasonable estimate for
all the societies for the two years would
be 446.6SS. or an average of 223,344 for each
year.
The gifts for missions and other belevo-
fences, largely local church work, aggre-
gate $4,37S,92 for the two years since the
last report. or al average of $2,1S9, AGO for
each year.
A long list of junior n intermediate
report gifts of over 800 each, and
a still longer list of Young Peoples So
cietes report contributions ranging from
to $1,050 each.
IN his report Mr.. Shaw said: "If I am
to Judge from reports. many churches use
their Christian Endeavor society as n
convenient agency for raising money for
local needs. l am convinced that a much
larger proportion of the money given by
the children and Young people should be
used for missionary urpos In extending
