| Pcmona EndeavorerS are to take up
the Efficiency Campaign, so writes Miss
Edith L. Krook, one of their leaders in
good work.
We failed, from lack of physical
strength at the time needed, in sending
greeting in behalf of our press depart.
ment to the State Press Association
meeting, held in Palatka. This was a
genuine disappointment, for il is so
pleasant to say ''thank-you" to those
who have aided in our work as have
many of the Florida newspapers.
When letters were written to several
district secretaries and presidents asking
if they would like supply OF G. E. sta.
tionery TO be printed at the time that the
years order for the State Union was be-
ing made, prompt answers came from
several, which were appreciated. We
hope that correspondence done under
the heading, "Florida Christian Endea'
vor Union" by these faithful district
workers, will receive notice and help 10
enthuSe local EndeavorerS in efficient
service.
Miss Ruth Wyandt, the new State Ju.
nior superintendent, has written some
excellent letters from her home in r. f.
D. No. 1, Tampa. She pleads with
both district and local Junior workers 10
be loyal TO their cause; to think of fu.
ture of larger efficiency than we are
now having. She asks for prompt an

Outstanding of course that these must
depend largely upon the busineSs-like
spirit shown by the society superintend.

niour Endeavor has not grown as il
should during the past few years. We
need more interest shown in organizing
new societies for children, by the lead
ers of senior societies. Miss Wyandt is
going to do her very best to make this a
good year for Junior Endeavor, but she
cannot do il without the cooperation oil
other Endeavorers over Florida.

Gently, for California co-Workers
Greetings in the convention at Fresno.
We are apt 10 think of the Book OF
Proverbs as ''pretty DID," but the fol.
lowing quotation, from the twenty eight
chapter, seems just right for you in June,
1912. "a faithful man shall abound
with riches" Now, is not that just
what is true for California Endeavorers?
You have tried to be faithful, and you
are Astounding in blessings. Another
good thing is that thousands of US are
going to share in these blessings, July,
1913, in ''the good time coming" our
International convention in Los Ange-
les.
The first Sunday in July has "Hon-
esty" for its Endeavor and Baptist Young
Peoples Union subject. This is good

In West Palm Beach they had good
meeting the stormy evening of June 9th.
Here is the graphic account given by
Miss Maud Clark, secretary of the So
ciety. 81 sat at home with the rain
falling as it falls no where else in the
world, and said, 1--WE will break our
record tonight. No one can go to c.
E." The streets were streams of water.
An auto stopped at the door and Miss
Cora LAM, leader, said, do you want
10 go 10 Christian Endeavor?" grabbed
a rain-coat in one hand and testament
in the other and went. She collected
eight and we went 10 the church and
had a meeting. Just after we got there
the rain began pounding down so no
one else came. Collection was 65ctS.
Mr. Clinton Mitchell knew that Miss
Lanz was leader so went after her and
the rest OF US with his auto" We won

night of June 9th?
