Christian Endeavor News.

The Palatka News last week men.
TONED safe return TO Pomona of Rev.
w. H. MCDOWELL, pastor of the Congre-
gational church in that pleasant village.
Mr.. MCDOWELL is one OF our most enthu-
SiaStic Endeavor ministers and that is
the kind who are warmly welcomed af-
Ter vacations by the young people OF
their churches.
September End the Juniors of Inter.
lachen had their second ''red and blue"
contest social, the reds again being
losers, therefore having TO furnish social
refreshments. 1t was a lawn party at
the home of Miss Mary F. Coburn who
is acting as superintendent this summer
Seeing who could carry the most pea
nuts in a spoon without dropping them
was an interesting game. There were
two prizes, one for older juniors to COM
pete for and another TO be won by the
little ones. OF course there was also a
BOBBY prize TO the one carrying, the
feweSt peanuts. Dainty refreshments
were served on three small tables in the
flower-decked dining room. Place
cards were ornamcntcd with artiSticaly
made paper yellow roses, this being the
lavorite color of the superintendent.
In the summer home of Rev. Krook,
Miss Edith l.. krOok, our Northeastern
District secretary has been having love
ly cool days in West Fairlcc, Vermont.
This visit included a delightful ride OF
about ten miles daily. Miss Krook was
TO return last week to Mill Village, New
Hampshire, home of her sister where
she will remain much OF the last portion
fff f,l ~
mountains.
In Miami the plans are being pushed
for Sunday school room TO be added
TO the Presbyterian church. Endcavor-
crS also hope 10 have a part in the ad-
dtion TO their church. We should have
more Christian Endcavor prayer,meet-
ing rooms for they would mean a greater
zeal in service as ii is planned and
prayed over in their individual corner of
The church homo.
We would like TO see more space
asked for in the social pages of Tampa
and Jacksonville papers by our G. Z.
workers. Advertising pays is the opin-
ion OF other Christian organizations,
therefore why should we not let people
know of the good meetings and SocialS
EndeavOrcrS are anticipating and to
which ''viSitorS are cordially invited"
The convention motto for PennSylva-
MIA in July was, Better lives and better
service" Their Union is the largest
state one of Christian Endeavor and
gives us many good lessons TO copy
from. Surely the motto of this splendid
convention is just what we need here
in Florida TO aim for the year around.
Statistics given at the annual Epworth
League convention in Tampa this sum
mer showed that the MethodiStS have
5000 members in their organization for
young peoples work, and there was
gain of 1000 during the past year. They
have city unions in Jacksonville and
Tampa. Next convention was invited
to Orlando, and we hope the Endeav-
orerS there and in near towns will share |
in the inspiration which will come in
this meeting.
Allen c. E. LeaguerS hold their an
nual convention Sept I'll in Daytona,
when their state organization of Chris
Iian Endeavor will be three years old. |
nice program has been made and |
many are counting on attending.
GRACE A. TOWNSEND.
