thoughts Of the meeting, closing with
the c. f.. benediction.
4 FOreWOrd.
The editor OF this paper has kindly
consented to give US space so that the
Endeavorers may be able TO receive
a few thoughts on the topic that will
help them in their meetings. This
coluun should appeal TO those who are
unable to take the Christian Endeavor
World and Il is hoped they will make
use OF il. The topic will appear in
this paper regularly every Saturday
evening II you enjoy reading this
column, write and tell the editor
about IL. so he can see you appreciate
him allowing us this space.
In connection with the topic. part
OF this space. will be devoted TO items
OF interest from the societies in the
city, and throughout the State. II is
the purpose to make these items as
bright and newsy as possible. It's
object is TO bring the societies in
closer touch with each other, and 10
let each society know what the other
is doing. Contributions are desired
from every society in the State. and
II is hoped each society Will appoint
press chairman 10 send in any items
Of interest they may have. Make your
contributions as short and newsy as
possible.
Has your society elected officers?
Send in their names. Tell us about
that big rally and that social you had
the other evening. Are you taking up
new plans for the benefit OF the so
ciety? Tell us about them. Tell us
about that original idea you pulled
of, maybe IL would help another
society.
Spring is in the air. and II is time
for the societies TO get busy to keep
their members together during the
summer Why not start a "Bafalot
Club" among your members and CON
duct a series of hikes, corn roasts. boat
rides. straw rides. etc. These things
will keep your members interested.
Hold your business meetings in some
park on a warm evening.
The first Sunday in May Is Junior
Christian EndeavOr Day. We hope
every Junior superintendent and ev-
cry pastor will arrange TO have some
thing special for the Juniors on that
b day. Have the Juniors attend service
in a body and occupy the front seats.
Have your pastor give them a short
talk before the regular service. II
= you have no Junior Society. this
would be a splendid opportunity "a

Good Prayer Meetings. and How "
Have Many Of Them.-Aets. ~; 1-17.
What is a good prayer meeting? II
is one that has some life and inspira-
tion to IL. one that holds your atten-
ton from the opening hymn to the
c. f. benediction. A meeting where
every member takes part and are In
their places on time A good prayer
meeting will send the members out
with a new purpose TO practice its
lessons the coming week Sometimes
both members and meeting would be
the gamer II this was done the week
before the meeting as well as after
wards.
When some especially practical
topic is assigned let the Prayer Meet
ing committee call particular atten-
tion to Il a week in advance and ask
all to keep IL in mind during the week
and 10 come 20 the meeting the fol-
lowing Sunday ready to speak from
some experience.
To have a good prayer meeting,
every leader should use the two "P's"
Preparedness and Prayer without
these the meeting will be a failure.
The writer has known members who
were 10 lead, come TO the meeting 10
minutes I'm advance, pick out some
hymns az random. find the scripture
reading I'm the Bible and then give
out slips to be read The meeting be-
gan with one of the hymns. the pas
tor was called upon for prayer, the
Anti-Preparednes leader read some
thing on the topic cut from the re-
ligious or daily paper, and then the
meeting was thrown omen. If the
members were slow I'm reading the
slips the leader always had a hvmn
TO sin.g. What was the result? The
meeting dragged, members got sleepy
and every one was glad when the
closing time came.
How different Is the meeting where
the leader has prepared two weeks in
b advance. and has given much thought
and prayer over the topic. More car
be accomplished by prayer than We
dream Of. The prayer meeting COM
mittee should meet with the leader al
least ten minutes before the meeting
10 have a series Of prayers. The Ell

as we'll as for the society.
Each member should pray for thu
meeting. And why? Because II vii

should give them only 10 the vounge
and more timid members. Train your
self TO say something original on th
