several excellent articles in the Ocala
Star last week
Next Sunday is the regular monthly
missionary topic for senior societies
The Home Missionary Whose Life
Most Inspired Me-" is topic which
should be made Of vital interest, be-
cause personal interest to each mem
Der If it. is found that there is no
special missionary who has thus help
ed US, it would be well to adopt one
now and when this subject comes
again We will be better able to give
ready. heartfelt account of some
thing beautiful , in the life OF our
missionary.
Mr.. Frank Coffin, serving for the
second term as president Of the north
eastern district, is trying to visit each
of the societies in his field. AS he is
a school teacher, this requires some
planning for places out OF Jackson
vile. where his school is located in
one OF the suburbs Recently he visit
ed the Congregational and First Chris
tan societies of the metropolis, help
ing the latter on conservation day at
its meeting in the effectual way Mr..
Coffin is noted for. Next Sunday
country church is to have visit and
then some of the towns in the north
eastern district. This is what we are
in urgent need Of more field work. If
we cannot get a big man from farther
north to thus help US, we can and
should volunteer within our own ranks
for such service.
So many letters mention not very
cheerily the cold or rainy weather of
past months that it was good TO re-
ceive the following lines from one Of
the secretaries, and we quote it just
as given in the letter IT hope this

nice cold weather. It has been real

| hot summer that I am enjoying the cold
even if it does bite toes and noses
sometimes" This is looking on the

and especially in the southern states.
Mr.. Karl Lehman, interstate field sec

were organized and visited. Now he
goes to Alabama.
Mrs. Bongart, secretary of the Chris
tian church society in Tampa, tells of
a nice social combined with business
meeting they enjoyed with their pastor
and wife. Rev. and Mrs. W. w Elliott,
as host and hostess Societies almost
| always flourish as long as they keep
| up the monthly business meeting be-
cause only Endeavorers who are con-
secrated at heart will hold such meet

feature when in Tampa the min
listers family are interested enough to
hold social and business meetings in
their home

news letter from the Christian church
district. She says, "Our members have
been very faithful. We have not miss

tivities, tint it? That is the way
