A unique affair in the annals of Chris
tian Endeavor took place here Sunday
evening. Some weeks ago the prayer
meeting committee of the Albion Y P
see were planning the usual work
for the local society. On noting that
one of the months topics was "For-
ward Steps," it was suggested that an
effort be made to have that meeting a
sort of rally for the years work. The
membership has been seriously depleted
this year by the absence at school and
college of a number of the most effic-
tanned with the hope of encouraging
those who remain to better work. The
plan grew in scope and possibilities till
the result was the gathering of Sunday
evening. Between 60 and 70 Christian
Endeavorers from the Milton Junction,
Milton and Walworth Seventh-Day
Baptist societies came to the church
and were entertained at supper by the
Albion young people. The committee
in charge of this part of the rally were
Mrs Alice Lawton, Mrs Bernice Kelley,
Miss Lille Babcock, Miss Nellie Bah
cock and a corps of efficient helpers,
who made their guests heartily well
come, and provided comfort that was
thoroughly appreciated. At 7:30 the
church was filled with Endeavorers and
their friends who listened with intense
interest to the program packed full OF
good things, which included the follow
ing: '"The Law of Christian Giving"
by DR. L G Randolph of Milton. He
was followed by c Bartholf of Mil
waukee with words of greeting. "Sug
gestions for the Coming Years Work"
by Miss Flora Quinn, secretary for the
Northwestern Association for the
Young Peoples Board. Forward
Steps," Pastor A C Bond of Milton
Junction. There was a fine selection
by the Albion ladies' quartette and an
other by the Milton College male quar-
tette, and enthusiastic congregational
singing led by Mr. VIM Simpson of Mil
ton. Following this, the president, Ed
win Morse, who had ably presided
throughout the evening, turned the
meeting over to Floyd Simpson, who
conducted very fine testimony meet
ing. n large IluIlU0r VI earliest young
people took part in this service, and
many vows were registered for ''for-
ward steps" and better endeavor for
the year to come. The deep spirit of
the meeting seemed to hush every
heart, and they dispersed very quietly
at 10 o'clock, feeling that the occasion
had been epoched in Christian Endeavor
work in this section.
