were two long iron rails supported
by posts between which the men
with artificial legs would practice.
They would grip the rails with their

was to turn around with hands off

Sunday School Campaign.

From the office Of the Florida Sun
day School Association also comes
the news of a new and concerted move
suggested for the Sunday schools of
our state looking towards conserving
and turning into definite channels Of
Christian service the people who are
now or will be connected with the
schools. This movement will be
known as the INGATHERING AND
ENLISTING CAMPAIGN. 1t is for
all denominations. 1t is novel and
unique, and if extensively operated
will be very effective. Four Sundays
will be used in carrying out the plans,
the whole matter to eliminate on the
most appropriated day Of the year.
Easter Sunday. The following are
the dates, and the special emphasis
asked for each:
Sunday, March 18th, "Get-Ready-
Day" All schools should be set in
proper order to retain and instruct
its present membership and to receive
and properly care for new members.
Sunday, March 25th, every Mem
ber-Present-Day." An effort should
be made to have every enrolled mem
ber present on this day.
Sunday, April 1st, "Every-Member-
Bring One Day" This is not for the
purpose of counting noses, but to Sc
cure bona fide members for the school.
Easter Sunday, April 8th, "For-
ward -Step-Day." This is to be the
climax of the campaign and on this
day those who have been definitely
brought to Christ are to publicly de-
clare the fact; church membership
may be stressed, and above all each
member is to be urged to take for
ward step in some form of definite
Christian service. Various phases
of service are suggested, among
these may be mentioned the follow
ing: The ministry; The Sunday
school superintendency; Sunday
school teaching; Missionary work, and
other lines Of service.
The Florida Sunday School Asso-
citation is suggesting the above plan.
Following so closely on the successful
Co. Sunday School Day, it is hoped
that pastors and superintendent will
see the vast value of the plan and
everywhere heartily cooperate. The
state office in Jacksonville will glad
ly answer any questions. Literature
explaining every point in the cam
paign is being prepared and will soon
be sent into the hands of all interest
ed people.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
POINTERS.


Our faithful correspondent in the
West Palm Beach Congregational
church is Miss Maude E. Clarke, and
her latest news is that they have their
second Junior Expert, who is Esther
Creamer. Carl Widell was first.
There are, we think but very few 9TH
ers hero. Jacksonville Riverside
Presbyterians were very proud, last
year, Of their first Junior Expert boy.
A very recent issue of The Tampa
Daily Times told Of two Tampa
churches almost finished which mean
much to the Endeavorers of their So
cicties. One was the Hyde Park
Presbyterian, the other the United
Brethren. We know well that these
young people helped furnish means for
the building.
In Live Oak "the home paper" gave
a full account, and clipping was sent
US by our reporter, Miss Bishop, about
the Mock Trial which was held by
Presbyterian Endeavorers, Feb. 18th.
Mr., Fagg "was attorney for defen-
dent The jury was composed of
twelve Junior Endeavor boys and
girls. All told it was a great sue
cess for a society that is in the habit
of doing things enthCaiasticly, and
reaping results entirely satisfactory.
The new Office of the All-South Ex-
tension Committee and the Dixie En-
deavor is at 312-15 American TT Jst
Building, Alabama.
Here are three dates important for
wide-awake Florida EAdeavorers to
set down in note books. Our St2te
convention in Orlando, April 1922;
July 10Th in Madison Square Gar
den, the largest auditorium in the
city Of New York, convcncs the twcn-
ty-ci~hth International Christian En-
deavor convention. The second All
South convention will be held July H.

There are five splendid societies
qmong the members of the National
Guard now on duty on the Mexican
border. One Of these EndeHvorers.

Members of the Congregational
church choir Of Intcrlachen, North
eastern district, are all members also
OF the c. E. Society. Their choir
leader, Mr.. Arden Jones, is ii, having
broken his leg several weeks ago.
Last Sunday afternoon the rest of the
singers met at his home to sing for
him. Would not something like This
be sunshiney action in other nlAces,
for everywhere our Endeavorers are
active in the music requirements Of
their churches.

FAMILY AVOIDS
SERIOUS SICKNESS
By Being Constantly Supplied
With Thedford's Black
Draught.

McDuf, Va.-T suffered for several
years." says Mrs. j. B. Whitaker, of
this place, with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to
try Thcdford's Black -Draught, which |
did, and | found it to be the best fami-
ly medicine for young and old.
| keep Black-Draught on hand all
the time now, and when my children
feel a little bad, they ask me for a
dose, and it does them more good than
any medicine they ever tried.
We never have long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenc-
ed using Black-Draught."
Thedford's Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu-
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re-
lieve indigestion, collie, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar
symptoms.
1t has been in constant use for more
than 70 years, and has benefited more
than 4 million people.

father whom they could no longer
respect. They died bravely, nobly;
and for Jonathan we have more
than a tear to shed; our hearts are
bound to him.. Saul was carried
away by the retreating troops-he
was wounded-he realized he was
beaten, but he had lived a king;
he would not die slave to the
Phillistincs, he would not live to be
chained to his chariot wheel-and
grace his triumph. He cried to his
companion in arms to kill him, but
he refused. Then the king drew his
sword and fell upon it and died.
Thus lived and died this strong,
fierce fighter. His life was strong,
fierce, pitiIess, and needs no com
mont. He carried the Israelites with
him from the day that he won their
first battle because they hoped, be-
'ieved th0t he would once more make
them a great nation, and that then
they might be the "dcspoilers," and
not the "despoiled," as so long they
hcd been. Not since Jonathan's
days had they been a strong, unit
cd, aggressive people. But each
tribe having lived for itself and
fought for itself, the nation had
dcgenerated in power and spirit and
became a prey to the fiorccr Phillis-
tines. Saul revived the national
feeling, and inspired a national
