Rev. Z. ]. Young of Barlow wrote US
recently about the possible organization
OF Presbyterian society in his church.
Literature and information asked for was
sent TO him from our office, and now
we are waiting TO hear of results. There
has been no Endeavor society in Barlow
land some other townS) for several years,
most of the young people belonging 10
UNCONVENTIONAL organizations.
District convention time is almost
here! The first will be a rally held on
Oct. 10Th in Stuart, far down the East
Coast for that section OF the State. Mrs.
c. S. Haney of the entertaining place is
assisting the district president, Miss
Clarke, of West Palm Beach, who is
making nice program for the occasion.
1t has been very long time since an
Endeavor convention or rally has met as
far south as Stuart.
Southwestern district meets in the
Palm Avenue Presbyterian church in
Tampa, Oct. 1881, of which Ex-State
Pres. Winnard is pastor. The secretary
OF this district is Miss Aurora l.. Miller,
in Ruskin, and State leader Alexander
Linn is president OF Southwestern.
There will probably be a convention
or rally for the Northern end of East
Coast district in the vicinity of DeLand
later this fall.
Lake and Sumter district meets at
TavareS, in November. David Coffin,
secretary is busy planning for the event.
For Orange and OSceola district En-
deavorerS the convention place is the
beautiful college town, Winter Park,
and the meeting is TO be held in Novem-
Der.
Northeastern district is anticipating its
annual meeting 10 be held in November
at Jacksonville, the societies OF the
Local Union joining in entertainment,
though the sessions will probably be
held in the LIST Christian church. If
these planned-for conventions all sue
coed it should put Christian Endeavor
on higher level than ever before in
the history of the State Union.
The proposed Prohibition Amend
ment is TO be the war cry for each C. E.
gathering this fall. And now before
Oct Sth we should try to get all the
voters possible TO qualify if not already
having done so. After this step keep
encouraging the doubtful ones TO vote
right when November Sth comes. We
can also help by getting the church
members 10 throw their influence more
strongly among the weaker brethren.
We can help by doing all we can for the
State Anti-Saloon League and State w.
c. T. IT,, and by aiding in making sue
ceSslul visits TO our local towns OF such
visitors as the famous ''StetSon Quar-
tette," and Miss Taylor with the helpful
Alcohol exhibit of the w. c. T. L.
Other good Temperance lectures will
come our way. There is very much
even the Junior Endeavorers can do if
we work heartily" as unto the Lord"
