Florida Christian Endeavor.

Inc rally 10 have been held at Stuart
last Wednesday had to be postponed.
One leader TO have attended writes of
what good thing it was that they were
not in session when the storm came, or
they would still be in Stuart Endeav-
orers are cheerful folks and try to look
on the bright side of even disappoint-
mentS in holding anticipated meetings.
Orange and Osceola district holds at
Winter Park Nov. 11-13, and Northeas-
tern District at the Christian church in
Jacksonville, Nov 1920. Our first con-
vention of the series comes this week
in Tampa. A later one at Tavares
meets probably after that in Jackson
vile, and it is hoped there will be rally
in the northern end of the long East
Coast district Pray, plan and push, for
these conventions.
In such stormy weather as we are hay
ing within the several days how true is
the consolation that comes out in the
beautiful song, Sunshine in my soul
today" In this changing world il is
good TO have brightness and cheer that
or clouds into our lives.
From an Endeavorer of St. Petersburg,
but not the State President, comes
copy of The St. Petersburg Times with
the following news which will interest
all Jealous workers of our Union.
"Mr. Alex Linn who has been en-
ployed by Harrison Bros. in their fire
insurance business has decided to go in
to the real estate business, and will also
handle insurance. He will have an
office in the Smith & Northrup building
the first of November and will make
this the headquarters for the Boy Scouts
of which he is chief scout. Mr.. Linn
expects TO be pretty busy as he is also
engaged in preaching at the Presbyterian
church at Tarpon Springs every Sunday.
He has been acting as assistant secretary
of the Board of Trade, TO Mr.. Frank
Harrison and has found that his other
work was taking too much time from
the work of this position"
Mr.. Linn like his Endeavor state and
District co-workerS hoped in the COM
mencement of this Endeavor year that
he would have more time to give his
office as president than had other wor-
thy men before him. 1t now seems
however that we must continue to huS-
tie for ourselves in large degree in our
fall conventions and the organization OF
societies so much needed. There may
come a day when we will be able to
give such a man as Mr.. Linn a salary in
his Endeavor work for us, but as that
day has not come yet there seems moth
ing for us to do-in both district and
local C. E. work but to "hoe our own
row."
Miss Aurora Miller, secretary of South
western district has the program well in
hand for their convention in the we'll
known "Rev Winnard'S church" OF
Tampa. 1t commences at Sp. m. Oct.
18th. closing on Sunday evening, the
30th.
II now seems probable that the State
Secretary will be able physically to at
tend most or all of the fall conventions.
For the sake of her office and duties in
three departments as superintendent it
seems necessary that she be able to meet
the co-workerS if possible.
Mrs. H. w. Bruce, State Junior leader
has been too busy as a nurse to get Out
over the field much this year. But she
is anticipating very much being able to
devote an entire month, from the 10th
of Nov. till that time in December TO
conventions and field work. We need
more Junior societies. There should
be one in each church having any En-
deayor life now only manifested in
Yonng Peoples work. Let Mrs. Bruce
know if you find an opening, in or near
YOUR church for Junior work. Let her
know soon so she can plan her itinerary
without unnecessary expense or con
fIicting dates. Address her, Gainesville,
