FOR DISTRICTS
OF CHRISTIAN
ENDEAvORERS

A meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Middlesex County
Local Christian Endeavor Union was
held in the chapel of the Presbyteri-
an church in Metuchen, last night,
when plans were discussed for a
rally to be held during the spring.
The rally will in all probability be
held in Metuchen. The president
and secretary, who are members of
the executive committee, were en-
powered to arrange the program.
One of the main objects of the
meeting last night was to arrange
the division of the district. There
are two societies in Metuchen, but
neither belongs to the union. The
union is divided into two districts,
New Brunswick and Perth Amboy.
In the former district are Piscata-
way and New Brunswick, and in the
latter, South Amboy, Woodbridge
and Perth Amboy. An effort Is be-
ing made to have the Presbyterian
Society in Metuchen join this dis
trict, and New Brunswick is trying
to get the Reformed Society in that
district, but the two societies will
decide that matter among them
selves. Several prominent speakers
will be secured for the rally.
The local members of the First
Presbyterian church Society at the
meeting were Miss Jennie Peterson
and Harry Comings.
