Christian Endeavor In Florida.

Does Neu2lOn EayI Is inc EnuSdNOI
topic for next Sunday. Among the
many attributes given by Christian En-
deavor World showing the reasons that
religion is a paying investment, Is RE
ligion and Beauty" from which we give
the following thoughts: Beauty is one
of the worlds greatest powers and pleas
ures, and il is right to seek il; but there
is no better and surer way than by re-
ligion. This is because God who made
all beauty, is the end and aim of all re-
ligion. And the question is asked,
who has not seen plain face made
lovely by religioni"
We like to hear of union revival ser
vices because il reminds us OF that some
times forgotten Bible verse containing
the words, And We all are brethren. +"
Eustis Presbyterian and Christian church
people united in revival services this
winter and from the Polk County Rec
ord ii is noted that similar meetings are
being held by these same church de-
nominations in Barlow. Gradually ii is
true, but surely the spirit OF brotherhood
is growing, and Christian Endeayor-
the organization of fellowship in Chris
tian service, should be OF real aid in fos-
tering by good example these truths so
beautifully depicted in the New Tesla
ment
We can confidently expect having the
splendid Interstate secretary, Karl Leh-
mann, formerly of Colorado but now
from Boston, TO help in the convention
gone right TO work at their end OF the
line, and held 4 union meeting last Sun
day for first plannings for DeLand and
the Convention of 1919. This meeting
was led by Rudolph Roseborough, the
local Presbyterian society leader, also
the Young man who will gladly send re-
csipts when our societies offer him sill
yer quarters for State union expenses
The exact date is not yet set, but the
probability is that, TO suit Mr.. Lehmann's
schedule north of US, We will hold
April 40. There is an old saying,
ever new; il is-"Pray, plan, push " We
must do this if we have our best ever
convention, which is the only kind that
We should have.
Rev. Clarence R. Williams, of New
England, will lecture on the Bible at the
De Funiak Springs Chautauqua in March
and in Tampa during February. He is
a well-known lecturer, and good En-
deavorer, also. When in Florida he
will speak in our churches if dates can
be made in advance. Address him Box
l472, New Haven, Connecticut.
DR.. Lewis, the faithful Congregational
worker of Mt. Dora, is dead, the papers
saw. We would rather think of him as
having come into life and that one OF
freeness from the pain so long and pa
,tiently borne here. Many OF US have
worked in Christian Endeayor with his
daughter, Margaret, and will share as far
as we can, the Loneliness now come 10
the Lewis home.
There is new Young Peoples socie-
ty at Elzey, in North Central district.
Mr.. Jace R McElveen is president, and
Mrs. D. W. McElveen, secretary. We
offer congratulations and will gladly TO
other bran-new societies, provided We
hear OF their organization.
Yes, and there is junior society now
in the Christian church in Lakeland, re-
ported TO US by Mrs. w. H. Coleman,
the organizer of children's societies in
Florida, for Christian churches. Miss
Ethel Dunklee was appointed superin'
Iendent in Lakeland
Rev. H. Keigwin, the Endeavor pastor
of Glenwood was given 4 genuine sur
prise party by his church people, on his
birthday January 5th. How nice il
would be if all the good pastors were
thus remembered, and we are sure moi
all the pleasure derived would be on the
minister's side.
Miss Elizabeth Woodruff, well known
over Florida in Endeavor and Christian
church activities, is in charge OF the Al
cohol exhibit which the State w. c. T.
L. organization is having sent ovel
Florida, especially TO the large cities.
OF Miss Woodrufi's visit to Tampa, ouI
friend of that city, Mr.. w. A. Heaior
writes. "She has fine lot of charts
and instructive data. There were sever
al hundred people visited her when she
was here, and made things pleasant fol
her." GRACE A. TOWNSEND.
