societies have adopted the Efficiency
Campaign and have already made
considerable progress. The societies
that are wise in conducting their
campaigns have an Efficiency Chart
hanging on the wall of the room
where the Endeavorers meet.
The Daniel \. Polling Union, in the
State of Washington, has entered
upon four months Efficiency Cam
paign with these objects in view: An
efficiency chart in every society; q
class in Expert Endeavor in every So
ciety and one-third of the members
Christian Endeavor Experts by July
/, 1917; every active member a wear
er OF the Christian Endeavor pin ;
every active member n subscriber to
| The Christian EndeaVor News: one
third of the membership new sub
scribers to The Christian Endeavor
World; ten new societies by July l ;
a delegate from the union to one of
the big conventions, and the accom-
pllShment of the unions share in the
Millions Campaign.
During the past few months the
Central Presbyterian Society, South
Brownsville, Pa, has put the Eff
cheney Campaign to Il test, and it
has worked wonders. The pastor,
the Rev. Charles Il. Harmon, ID. D.,
and his wife, together with thirteen
young people formed n class and took
Expert Endeayor" graduating re-
Gently. AS a result of this studying
the Efficiency Campaign has been on
in earnest. Following are a few of
the things emphasized- First of all
the Prayer Life-Quiet Hour Medi-
tation by Comrades of the Quiet
Hour; Tenth Legion emphasized: :
100 per cent. prayer meetings.; Il
large per cent. increase in readers Of
the {. L. World and the Pennsyl-
vania Bulletin; Young people giving
themselves to mission study and
showing an interest in missionary
work as never before; a large per
cent. of the Endeavorers always at
the mid-week prayer meeting of the
church; the society-a beehive of
activity, its influence being felt in
every part Of the church life; en-
thusiasm being kindled everywhere;
another expert class formed. About
eighteen taking Expert Endeavor
will graduate before the State con-
vention, July, 1918. The most far
eaching-perhaps, a life work re-
cruit-a young life given to God.
AS a result of the Society's ac-
tivity. the Golden Seal has been given
by the United Society and placed on
the Efficiency Chart - the first in
Pennsylvania and fifth in the world
to receive this seal.

The Rev. Charles Henry Frick, of
Wilkes-Barre, State superintendent
of the Christian Citizenship Depart
ment, says, The greatest honor in
the gift of our nation is bestowed
upon President Wilson. We delight
in his commendable character and
his activities in religious enterprises.
Splendid work has been done along
citizenship lines in the recent cam
paign. Great victories we're won
even under old party standards.
Four States took their place in the
prohibition Michigan, Ne
braska, South Dakota, and Montana.
Utah and Florida elected candidates
pledged to enact prohibitory meas
ures. Prompt action is expected
from these States, and when they
act, just "a of the States in the
Union will have outlawed the saloon.
And "a is just half of all the States.
Reports have confirmed our faith,
fired our zeal, and doubled our pur-
pose, and we will brighten the let
ters on our banner, A Saloonless Ma
ton by 1920"
