be out of her office after October II,
visiting the five conventions and
some societies. But mail is always
forwarded from Interlachen.
There was needed change in the
dates of our fall district conventions
and they are now decided on this
way:
Southwestern district, at Lakeland,
Oct 20-22nd.

For the first convention, the dis
trict presidents, S. Jay Adams was

the district secretary, Miss Eliza
beth Burleigh, of Tavares. Vice
president Percy Dale, of Winter Park
is making the st. Cloud program; and
for ST. Augustine, Miss Edith l..
Krook, of Pomona, district secretary,
is the planner. We mention these
names so workers in the districts
will know with whom to correspond
in order to help the convention com
mittees make quick and successful
work
We anticipate a convention for
East Central district to probably
meet in Lake Helen, Nov. 10-12th,
but Rev. c. N. Krook, Congregational
pastor there, also district president,
has just returned to his field from
the summer northern home, we can
not yet announce anything certain for
East Central district.
The East Florida Congregational
conferences will be held in New
Smyrna, Nov. 15-17th, of which Rev.
w. H. Tillman is the pastor-host.
This meeting closes in time that del
egates from it can get to st. Angus
tine in time for the opening session
of our convention there. This will
be on the route home for those at
tending at New Smyrna, from Jack
sonville, Ormand, Pomona and Inter-
lachen Congregational churches. A
large, successful convention is hoped
for in st. Augustine, and our service
during it which will be held in the
state school with the deaf and blind
socities is being eagerly looked for
ward to, writes Principal w. H. Wal
ker, in a pleasant letter recently COM
ing to our office from the state
school,
Kindly greetings reach us from Mr.
Percy r. Nuessle, of Newark, N. ].
Introduction department superintend-
ent for the New Jersey union. In
order that we hope, more interest
may be felt in this work of Endeavor,
is quoted the following referring to
an introduction letter sent him from
our office, in regard to the sojourn
of Mrs. w. H. Bogart and daughter,
of Tampa, in Newark. Il called upon
Mrs. Bogart and welcomed her. She
told her of the nearest Christian
church. 1t is about five miles away
but there is a car only block away
from where she was stopping which
went right by the church's door and
it would only take her about forty
five minutes. She was glad to hear
about it and said she would go some
Sunday. We also invited her to the
County Rally, but do not know
whether she attended as there were
so many, over five hundred, there.
Am writing her tonight and sending
an invitation to the Missionary Con-
gress which is scheduled for Oct 49,
Now, press readers if you wish your
absent members or those who leave
you for new homes, to thus be looked
out after, notify me just as soon as
you can, giving name, church prefer
ence and full address of the place
where each Florida friend has gone
The same rules are good for those
moving from one place to another in
our own state
