The intermediate EndeaVor society
of the Central Avenue Christian church
is no more as a separate organization
Because only one in the society was
under the age of those in the senior
Fndeavor, it was decided to merge the
two societies.
This was effected at a meeting OF
the Intermediates at the home of Roy
Palmer, 1920 North Topeka avenue, and
at a meeting of the Senior EndeaVorers
at the A. D. Brandon home, 522 NORTH
Topeka avenue. Offcers for the merged
societies follow:
President ]. H. Anderson; secretary
Miss Lefa Thomas; treasurer, Paul
Rayse: chairman missionary commit
tee, Miss Maurine McDaniels; chairman
music committee, Mrs. Bessie Ander-
son; chairman lookout committee, {.
H Waldman; chairman, sunshine COM
mittee Mrs. Ella Wyatt; prayer meet
ing committee, A. D. Brandon; choris-
ter. Mrs. c. H. Waldman; pianist, Miss
Maurine McDaniels-
The union of the societies calls at
tention to the fact that the Central |
Avenue church is following a plan |
which is in use at the First Christian
church and is being adapted by Chris |
tan churches in other cities. The Jun |
ior Endeavor meets at IL a. m. in
the class room just west of the church.
Communion is served to the members |
who are also members of the ,congre- |
CATION. Mrs. w. E. Cowdrey, or Mrs |
Matte Laughlin, act as preachers and |
give a sermon appropriate to the young |
folk.
This service replaces the former af- |
ternoon Junior E;ndeavor meeting. 1t |
is said that the new way increases the |
young peoples interest both in their !
own organization and in the church. |
Mrs. J. E. McDaniels introduced the |
idea to the Central Avenue church.
