The September message mimeo-
graphed and circulated among MEM
bers of the State c. F.. Union is being
sent out by State President Linn. So
many Endeavorers are now from home
and for their sake and others inter-

Dear Endeavorers: Greetings. May
your summer have been a pleasant
and prosperous one and may you all
begin the approaching season with de-
termination to raise the Christian En-
deavor standard higher than it has
ever floated before.
We have every good reason TO be
proud of our organization. We are
not only at the head in the procession
marching on toward a better knowl-
edge of Christ and his teachings, to-
ward more usefulness to our church
and more kindly deeds. but We are at
the front in the battles for reform.
Were we not all proud Of our Mr.
Shaw when he led the campaign to
! check the exhibition Of the prize fight
pictures?
There is a warfare heating to the
white in this fair state of ours 1t is
the fight for prohibition. We must
not lag here. We are all needed in
| the front ranks. We must win. We
must do more than WHINE must win
by an overwhelming majority to prove
| that we are in earnest, that we are
determined to forever free ourselves
from the terrible curse.
Talk for prohibition, work for pro-
'bition. pray for prohibition.
Faithfully yours. Alex Linn.

1t was predicted that storm was
lbrewing down the east coast. and tho
lit rained almost all of Sunday, Sept
nth, the Endeavor society at Yves,
Palm Beach had about twenty in at
tendance that damp evening. The
lfaithfulness of members in regular
attendance is greatly appreciated by
the officers. 1t may be largely owing
to their ambition to make pleasan,
land profitable each meeting that
brings out the young people even IN
the rain. Grace A. Townsend.
