Mr. w. A. Jenkins, active in the con-
gregationa1 society of Lake Helen.
sends the following interesting news
of Endeayor work in his town: The
two societies, Baptist and Congrega-
tional. meet in union The Baptist is
the only one of this denomination in
the state connected with Christian En-
deavor. Meeting together gives us an
average attendance of about fifty and
from the opening of the services there
is something doing. The service is from
one hour but it is very common for us
to over-reach, when we have repeated
the pledge of doxology at closing. We
are very fortunate in having pastors
who are greatly interested in Christ
ian Endeavor. They are always pres
emf, very entertaining and instructive.
We follow more or less closely work
as lad out in the Christian Endeavor
World Musicians of the churches
have aided US most kindly in leader
ship and special music" 1t seems well
to add to the particulars given by Mr.
Jenkins, that the services are held al
ternatedly in the Congregational and
Baptist churches and that both their
pastors attended the state convention
in May, something which some much
nearer ministers did not do The most

Congregational society the pastor, Rev
