Christian Endeavor Work in
Florida,

Lincoln'S birthday anniversary will
have passed before another news letter
is issued from this office Hence we
give now the quotation chosen for our
special message for February 18th and
all the year.
HEROES.
Not all the heroes fall on fields of glory,
Not all brave deeds are told in song and
story.
They, they are heroes who with hearts
aglow
Hide deep within the breast their
weight of woe,
And then with faces shining lift the
Meath which another staggers on Lies
road
These beautiful lines were sent us by
Miss Lillian E. Hayes, Junior superin-
tendent of the strong union of Indiana.
There is a saying, eff you want a
favor done, ask the busy man." Not
only for favors but in kindly words of
appreciation for courteSieS so small they
are overlooked by many, do we find
the busy people generally ahead Many
greetings were sent from the fall dis
trict conventions TO far-and near friends,
among them DR.. Clark. In his reply
are the following words, "lf you can re-
turn my thanks TO the friends who have
signed these greetings shall appreciate
it. You may see them from time TO
time"
Here is some unusually good news.
You know that the southern end of East
Coast district had planned for rally at
Stuart on Oct. 10, and the weather went
wrong, much so. 1t is now booked for
March 10th, 10 be on young Peoples
Day" of the Bible Conference which is
10 be held at Stuart from March 5th to
18th. Other organizations for work will
have their exercises on the 10th, and all
EndeavorerS of the southern end of old
East Coast district will be expected 10
join forces for a day full of helpful
plans and the forwarding of work in this
section of the State union. Rev. Z. A.
Waldo, pastor of the society with over
sixty members, in West Palm Beach, is
to have oversight of this rally. This
we are notified by Rev. Neil McQuarrie,
the evangelist and promoter of the Bible
Conference at Stuart
In the very, very short list of societies
yet having sent silver quarters to Treas.
urer Douglas in the year ending April
LIST, no names are seen of any societies
in Jacksonville or Tampa but the Juniors
of the Christian church in the former
city. There are three Young Peoples
societies in Jacksonville, and several
both for older and children Endeavorers
fn Tampa.
In this report by the State Treasurer,
ST. Augustine shows up the best of any
Endeavor center OF the total received
to date from the about Seventy-five So
cietieS, S6425, the Memorial church
workers and those of the Deaf and
Blind School gave $19.65. Thus far the
deaf and blind societies of St. Augustine
have given more than any seeing and
hearing EndeavorerS. This was the
final report at the Tampa convention of
1909. Will you allow ii to be said when
we reach St. Petersburg this year?
Plans are being briskly pushed for the
State convention OF 1911. On account
Of the busy life of ST. Petersburg people
in the tourist season probably we will
not gather there until early May. Presi-
pent Linn expects TO have more time
from business life during April 10 do the |
hest he can to make the convention a |
lasting success.
