ENDEAVOR
SOCIETY MEETINGS
Suggestion as to What May be
Done to improve
Them.

Communicated
Rev. william Ralph Ifaila director
OF Young Peoples work under the
Presbyterian Board OF Publication,
has written the following on How
to Improve the Meetings Of the Chris
tian Endeavor Society" The text is
from Matt. 1S: 1920; John 4: 1924.
His comment follows:
Good society meetings nave to be
built. They don't just happen. II
they are TO be built carefully. then It Is
all but essential that we have our
specifications. The greatest improve
ment TO the average society meeting
will come from a finer sense of ths in
dlviduai responsibility of the mem-
bers. Too often young people
think that the leader should make the
meeting success. Sometimes the mem
bers feel that the leader plus the
prayer meeting committee should
make the Meeting a success. But real
success comes when you add the lead
er, the prayer meeting committee, and
the individual members. Space will
permit only the following specifica-
tlons You may add others and then
carry them out.
First: Have each topic announced
Mt the prayer meeting one week in ad-
vance by the one who is planning TO
lead.
Second: Work consistently 10 per-
suade the individual members to study
the topic thoughtfully during the week
preceding the service and take part
as a result of this careful study.
Third: Secure variety in the pro-
gram so that interest is awakened. be-
! ing careful that the elements of va
riety contribute to the main purpose
of the meetings rather than detract
from the main purpose.
| Fourth: Have leader and prayer
meeting committee members give per-
sonal attention to securing participa-
ton on the part of the newer, less ex.
perienced members.
Fifth: Deepen the spirituality Of the
service by maintaining a wholesome
alance between the discussion OF the
topic and prayer, seeking TO train al
members to participate in prayer ir
Society meetings even il all may no'
take part in any one meeting.
Sixth: Inject the element of sur
prise once in awhile by making con.
lspicuous changes in the room. Thes,
may be effected by special decorations
re-arrangement of chairs, etc.
Seventh: Make punctuality boil
in opening and closing service a stand
lard.
Seven is good number to stop on
You man add another seven but NOR,
important than adding another sever
