In the spring of 1909, says the Cen
trail China Christian, some delegates
from the society in Chuchow went
with flying banners to the Marking
Christian Endeavor convention. Here
they learned that only four societies
were at work in their province. and
they determined that they would wipe
out that blot. They started at home
They opened branch In the hospital
and called 1t the Young Mems Chris
tan Endeavor. Meetings were held
nightly for patients and neighbors
Then the schoolboys got the fever and
started branch in the school. They
opened with tea. sweetmeats, etc.
When they began one boy was Chris
tan. Now ten are followers of the
Master. Every one carries a pocket
Testament and reads il every day.
Then the church in Chuchow held a
convention. and an afternoon was CIV
en- to Christian Endeavor. When the
audience hocked TO the church ushers
met them and presented each with a
Christian Endeavor badge in two col
ors. Then speakers told about the
movement, how it started, what it is
for and how ii is organized in out sta
tons A call for the names of those
that would join the society if one were
started in their home station brought
a response from forty-three visiting
delegates. This showed visiting pas
fors what they MIGHT do with Chris
tian Endeavor. To clinch the impress
sion. to each one present was given a
bag of nuts and fruit On the inside
of the bag was sewed a strip on which
was printed: You have eaten the
fruit of Christian Endeavor. Now go
forth and bear fruit yourself" And
that is exactly what they will do.

Topic. Missionary needs and how We
may help to meet them. IL Cor. will 10
Edited by Rev Sherman H. Doyle, d. ID.
1t requires no argument to convince
us that there are missionary needs
This fact, 80 apparent to all. should
inspire Us with desire to help mis-
sionaries meet their needs IL we
were doubtful as to the existence Of
needs we might be negligent or in
different. but being convinced that the
needs exist there can be but one line Of
duty resting upon US 1t was the need
of the sninJs Mt Jerusalem that ap-
pealed to the Macedonians and called
forth their great and unselfish liberal
fty. The needs of our missionaries are
greater than those of the poverty
stricken saints at Jerusalem. and We
should do all in our power to supply
their every want and need.
i. The missionaries need our SYM
patty. Without experience ii is i'm
possible for us to fully realize what
must be the lonesomeness and dis
enlargement of the average mission
airy. In a far country. separated from
loved ones and friends. surrounded by
strange peoples and strange customs.
how great must be the need of the
missionary for sympathy. If he knows
that the sympathetic heart of every
Christian is back of him. what an in
spiration it will be to him. He should
haua sstHty so. nv sy,a
possible 1t should be made known to
him.
Z. The missionaries need our pray
ers. In no other field of Christian ac-
tivity is there greater need of the
grace and strength which come from
the ever ascending prayers of Gods
people. We may not be able to give
great gifts to the missionary cause.
but there is no one so poor that he
cannot bear the missionaries and their
work to Gods throne of grace in
prayer. To be remembered in the
prayers of Gods people is one of the
greatest desires of Christian mission
aries. They know full well that they
can only be sustained and their work
made efficient by the presence and
blessing of Gods spirit upon them;
therefore their earnest desire that we
should pray for them. The duty of
praying for them rests upon us, and
no one should fail in the performance
of this obligation.
8. The missionaries need our gifts
The material requirements OF the
missionary and his arduous work are
many and great. He must live and
can depend only on the church for his
livelihood. Churches, schools and hos
pitfalls must be erected and their main.
tenance provided for. The money must
be given by those who are interested
in the missionary's work. and it should
be given. All should bear their share
of the financial burdens of missionary
work. We should give cheerfully and
willingly and systematically. Gods
work should never be hindered or re-
tarded from lack of money, for all
that we have and own belongs to Him
and should be consecrated to His serv-

Dear Aant Madse:
You are kind enongh to mention me among
those from whom you would like to hear in
regard to their outings, but IL do not send
my account soon shall not be able TO say
this years outing.
/ went to Portland on October II, meeting at
the Union station there q friend from Cali
fornia who was visiting in Massachusetts,, and
who came to spend sunday with me In Port
land. Saturday was unpleasant, but Sunday
was a glorious day, and we had a delightful
trip about the city. walking through Deering
Oaks park. with its many oak trees. to the
Western promenade, where we had a beauti-
full view Of Mount Washington and many
other of the White mountains.
Then We took car and went to the other
end Of the city, to Fort Allen park, where we
had q fine view of the harbor and isia nds. Ny
friend went back 10 Boston on Monday, and
remained in Portland for the music festival
the first in the new city hall. / wish / could
describe the auditorium SO that you could see
IL as saw 1.-THE soft, pleasant eoloring of the
walls, the electric chandeliers, the beautiful
organ, the large chorus, the orchestra tfrom
the Boston opera house, and the thousands Of
people, perfectly still, almost GREATNESS, that
they might not miss q note.

audience went wild over her; she was very
gracious and gave encore after encore, and as
someone said, seemed to enjoy singing to
Maine people" Her last encore was: "Home.
Sweet Home" beautifully sung.
The second concert, on Tuesday afternoon,
was an orchestral one, with several tine solo
ists-s delightful concert. At the Tuesday
evening concert the star singer was Chew,
Giordano. an Italian, who was most enthusi-
asticaily received. The two concerts on We'd
nesday were also very enjoyable, and 1.-THE
sixteenth Maine musical festival came to a
great end", as one of the Portland papers ex-
pressed it. The memorial organ in city hall
is a magnificent one, the fourth largest in the
world, and it added much to the enjoyment Of
the concerts.
