Endeavor Y. P. S. C. E.

The Christian EndeaVer Society Of the
Presbyterian church of Endesvor, Pa,
recently observed the 33rd anniversary of
the founding of the society by a special
service. The first society was organized

In the first society there we're so mem
bers. The number has now grown to
5000, 900. The society in the Endesvor
Church was organized March, 1896, with
IL mem hers. 1t now consists of 54 active
mem bers, of whom IL are on the absent
list al present. 8 honorary, and associate
members. OF these ali but Is responded
to their names at the roll call. Letters
aud kilograms from all the absent and
former members were read, coming from
IA states and countries.
Some remarkable facts In connection
with the society at Endeavor deserve 10
be recorded: The organization of this
society preceded the organization of the
church, and gave the name to the church,
as we'll as to the town and post office, be-
ing the first postoiiice in the United
States to be called Endeavor. The society
has never failed to hold its regular weekly
meeting at the appointed time, and is still
power for good in the community.
