Presidents Report
! President Frank S. Montgomery
said in part as follows:
! Christian Endeavor is a training
/ school for the young people of the
church. No other organization of the
church develops their prayer life and
| strengthens their courage to testify
| tor Christ as the Christian Endeavor
does. It helps them develop an al
truistic spirit>and they just naturally
grow in the service of Christ.
You will note by the program un-
der the heading Work Accomplished
| mat among other things we have or
ganized and reorganized 10 new So
cieties and visited 60 during the year.
L am very sorry to say there was
one thing that hindered our work
from going along smoothly. and that
was the financial part of it, caused by
the high cost of everything incidental
% running the Union. and I would
| therefore, suggest that in the future
the societies pay 50 dues instead of
500.
THE success of the past year has
been due to the fact that many things
were handled in just the right way
a the right time:
j. Frank Palmer with his Choral
Union has always been on the job.
Miss Mae E. Hoover in composing let
ters that went to the societies and
sending them out promptly.
Elmer S. Schilling in handling the
publicity and acting as chief prophet
in foretelling what we are going to
| do.

| ting enthusiasm in Steelton Endeav-
| orers.
"E. L. Stiles and Harold e. Eckert
in handling the Boosters.
Charles S. Urich and his faithful
lieutenants in handling the ushers
and assigning the soldiers to the va
rious societies at the picnic.
Nelson B. Cassell who persuaded
the merchants of Harrisburg to give
S125, worth of prizes for the picnic,
and then saw the Endeavorers worked
hard before they received them.
Walter cass who had one of the
finest intermediate c. e. Societies in
Central Pennsylvania, and who went

of the picnic and reserved the tables
for the Something Doing Picnic"
