The County Christian Endea-
Vor Convention.

/
The snow storm was hard on
this gathering. The church
was warm and bright in well
come on Friday night and the
local G. Els. met the trains on
which outside C. Els would have
come but none arrived. So no
meeting was held that night.
Saturday A. M. the expected
delegates began to come in and
although the program numbers
were not quite complete there
was no lack of interest. Mr..
Charles Upper of Woodbine
presided and gave a good adj
dress on "Our Great Command
er" in which he called to loyalty
to Jesus. Rev. Harvey Kremer
of Logan did finely on" Be brave
for the truth" Brave in heart
Brave IN words and Brave in
conduct. The afternoon session
was we'll attended and develop
ed a fine spirit. Rev. Mr.. Hall
of Woodbine gave a very practi-
cal address on "The Endeavors
loyalty to his own church"
Miss Hewlett of Council Bluffs
spoke on "Junior work" and
conducted a question box on
the same subject. There were
delegates from Logan, Wood
bine, Modale and Mondamin in
attendance and all expressed
themselves as we'll satisfied
with their visit and the conven-
ton, No doubt much benefit
was received by all who inter-
ested themselves in the gather
ing. The personal contact
with other Endeavors is always
good. We give one of the good
papers that were read at the
convention. Tt is by Mrs. Glen
Bostueick of Woodbine.

right to be cheerful and enthusi-
astic in our work, in fact it is
our duty to be. Cheerfulw we are
because of past achievements,
enthusiastic over what we ex-
pect to do. 1t is very young
organization but think what a
vast company of noble young
men and woman in every part
/ of the globe are enrolled in it's
memberships. Think of the
Ichurches that have been awak-
ened to new life and vigor by
the work of the Endeavor socie-
ty. Think Of the souls saved and
trained for active work in the
church. ACTIVE | say, because
the person who has been a good
worker in Endeavor seldom
shirks when asked to do other
lines of Christian work. Think
of our prison work, settlement
work in the cities and floating
missions for the sailors. We
cannot even name the different
departments of the work now.
What the exact work of the
future may be we do not know
but of this we are certain there
will be some thing to be done.
And if the time ever comes
when there is no work for il,
still it will live in the grateful
hearts of the many it has help
ed. There is so much of sad
ness, misery and suffering
around us so much need there
fore of cheer. Who indeed is
to give it if not the Endeavors?
There is not one of us but needs
cheer and encouragement
over the rough places. We
need it in our prayer meetings
and in our work during the
week. | would urge a little
more cheer and enthusiasm in
our meetings, for if we do not
have them there livery much
fear they will be altogether
lacking. Let us think a little
more of the lesson before hand
and then bring to the meeting
the best thoughts the week has
given us. More fellowship be-
fore the meeting gives a feel
ing of freedom in the prayer
meeting. IL each member can
feel we'll acquainted with the
rest the stiffness and embarrass-
ment will vanish and the testi-
monies and prayers will be from
the heart. And, oh, let me
plead for more prayer and still
more. l am fully convinced
that without it no society can
accomplish all the Master has
planned for it. The best society
| ever knew spent at least half
of each meeting in prayer and
without doubt they were the
best meetings | ever attended.
And another thing, QUIT that
clipping habit. Yes, you have
heard that before haven't you?,
May you never cease to hear it
until you obey. A meeting
cannot but be stiff and without
life where most of the time is
devoted to reading what some
body else thought. You may
not be able to express your
thoughts so beautiful but iii
they come from the heart they
will do the person setting next
to you far more good than the
views of some stranger, and
you too will be benefited. Zone

REALTY MARKET IS
BECOMING NORMAL
Owners Faith in Values Ac-
counts for Few Sales in Ten
ement Section
By JOHN H. SPECK

1t is absolutely true that the condi-
ton of the real estate market is far
from being normal yet and that there
are certain sections of the burned dis
trict that still remain unimproved. 1t
applies mostly to the old residential
and tenement districts. 1t is remark
able how optimistic owners in that sec
ton regard the future of the city.
They rarely make concessions in prices.
This proves the faith of the property
owners here, but from selling stand
point accounts for the few sales in
this territory.
Unless the prices are attractive buy
ers are not interested Excepting Ger
tain locations in the burned district.

Bankers and realty brokers who have

their opinion, the highest valuation

RAPID INCREASE
OF REAL ESTATE
The Sale OF Property in New
York City Is Cited as an
Object Lesson

How we'll purchased city real estate
increases in value is illustrated by an
article which is herewith reprinted from
the New York Times, taken from its
real estate section, as follows:
IF the deals for the Astor property
al Broadway and Forty street
and the Night and Day Bank building
at Fifth avenue and Forty-fourth street
are y true indication of what is to fol-
low, the most roseate predictions con-
corning the real estate outlook have not
been overdrawn. Aside from its aspect
as a fine investment purchase by the
American real estate company the
transaction involving the Fifth avenue
and Forty-fourth street property pro-
vided the closing chapter in the history
of one of the two famous Paran Stevens
corners on Fifth avenue-the other, at
Thirty-seventh street, having reached a
stage of final disposition several years
ago when the Tiffany building was
erected on it. The sale of the big
marble structure on the Forty-fourth
street corner for about $1,000, 600 re-
called an interesting series of events to
those who Were familiar with this prop
erty six or seven years ago. In 1902
syndicate in which the Century realty
company was interested bought this
corner, 100 by $50, with a few old frame
buildings and a couple of willow trees,
from the Stevens heirs for 1925 900.
Two or three Wall street fnanciers
were heavily interested in the syndi-
cate and when after year or so no
buyer appeared for the ground or the
buildings or the willow trees these Wall
street men, accustomed to quicker
action, became restless and, although
urged to hang on for a while, sold out
their interests to the Century company
