Florida Christian Endeavor.

Dear EndeavorerS:-There seems no
more topics on Christian Citizenship in
our Endeavor meetings after next Sun.
day until November has come. So lei
us therefore strive 10 accomplish sonnet
thing worth while on July 3rd. o.
course we will have good meetings that
day in each society with carefully
planned programs well carried out. But
is that all we could and should do? ]
believe not.
Let us try TO bring prohibition for
Florida closer our hearts than has ever
been done. Let us pray that God will
show us how we can do our part as So
cieties and individual members, in max
ing this "Florida for Christ" Let US
conSecrate again our lives as Christian
soldiers in the fight for temperance and
morality where it does moi now exist in
our state.
But il does not matter very much in
the long run how enthuSed we get in
the meetings, unless we decide on some
definite work we will take up as our
part in making good" the desires of
the Christian people OF the state for a
better, SaloonleSS homeland.
Here are few plans that will be
pushed hope in Interlachen, and proba-
bly, can more easily many other places
than here where there are very few
young people.
Let us organize Young Peoples
Branch OF the w. C. T. Union in each
Town where there is Young Peoples
Endeavor society. Let us make it union
if possible in order that workers outside
of our Endeavor fellowship may join
forces with US in this common cali for
active citizenship by the young people OF
Florida. 1t may be better some places
10 first commence with the Endeavorers
and Sunday School pupils of one
church-but what we do, let US
start Young Peoples Branches of the
w. c. T. U. where they do not now
exist. Miss Kittie Nelson, of Coleman,
is superintendent OF this part of the State
Temperance Union. 1t will make our
Christian Endeavorers helpful, wide.
awake white ribbonerS" if we do our
part. But for creating enthusiasm in
the cause another State Union depart
ment will be OF great service. This is
lor Medal Contests, OF which Mrs Eta
V. Mendenhall, r. F. D. No. 1, Tampa,
is superintendent wish you would
decide that your society will take up
both these kinds of citizenship work.
Then see that some one in each society
writes to Miss Nelson and Mrs. Menden,

ure hey will both gladly send you.
PleaSe let me know results in order
that the Press department OF our State
Endeavor Union have the opportunity
of passing the good news along through
the columns of nearly twenty papers we
have space in.
During the Syear ending officially
on January 3lSt, for the Anti Saloon
League several competent, Jealous men
were busy striving TO do their part in
Statewide prohibition. The
force of field workers has been increased
and the battle will wage more warmly
IS the months go by until the November
lection is the climax Funds for this
and for the distribution Of lit.
aralure is needed. Cannot our Endeav- |
0rers give more substantial aid than they |
nave done thus far in most of our Socie- |
les? AT any rate, subscribe for The |
yitizen for the year, costing one dollar,
md read it by turns that your members
nay be up with the times. For this, ad-
iress the State superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, Rev. c. L. Collins,
,ox 755, Jacksonville.
We can help in another way by giving
royal welcome TO the league speakers
when they visit our churches or towns.
'ome of them are young in years and
all are young at heart and would
ppreciate moIc interest shown them by
Endeavorers.
