C. E. LIVE WIRE SHOCKS.

W LA ~ w 44b4l 64&OO&46B
On Friday evening, October 27,
the Endeavorers of our society and
some visitors gathered at the church
at $50, and from there we went into
the river bottoms on a possum hunt,
the party numbering between 25 and
30 boys and girls, with Mr.. and
Mrs. C. V. Jones. A big bonfire was
started and after a short walk, and
getting one possum, we had the eats.
Every one seemed to enjoy it very
much, and always everyone who at
tends our socials and meetings has
a very fine time. Why not try it once?
More good times! Yes, on Hal
lowe'en night, Oct. 81, the spooks
convention was held in Hades Hall
at the church. The room was very
nicely decorated with pumpkins,
ccrnstalks, leaves and dim lights,
which threw out a spooky atmo-
sphere. All present were robed in
white and masked. On entering the
pass word was given and they were
led to the hall, where the High
Spooky de Spook asked a few ques-
lions of each one. Alter the ques-
tions the guests were led to the
hand of Fate, where they received
their fortunes, and then to the diff
ferent places of mysterious move
ments. AS they were led through
these places the remaining persons
were entertained by come music by
Miss Viola Wuench and Shorty" A
few more sports were entered into,
and then the refreshments and the
unmasking. The comedian of the
evening proved to be the Rev. E. S.
Baker. Why can't young folks get
together and have good times in
church work? We do! You can
too! Let us show you how.
On last Friday evening at the
home of the president, Miss Imogene
Jones, the regular monthly business
meeting of the Executive Committee
was held, and we were very sorry in
deed to have so many officers out of
this meeting on account of sickness.
Many new plans were discussed and
some very important moves were
made that will be big advancement
in our society work over what we
have done.
Sunday evening we counted SO in
our meeting. The biggest part of
these took some part in this meet
ing, which greatly added force to it.
Miss Nellie Ballow was the leader,
and she had the meeting so planned
that it was very snappy meeting
from start to finish The subject for
discussion was Better Thinking"
Every one was doing that at this ;
meeting. You had better do some
better thinking and attend the c. E.
meetings if you want to line I'D with
the liveliest young people in the
town. Shorty sez: 1.-THE best place
to meet the real live wide-awake
young people of the community is to
get to work with them in C. E." The
;. E. Society of the Christian Church
welcomes every young person from
L6 to los years of age to atteni
hese meetings. And don't forget
hat there is also c. E. at the C. P.
jhurch. We want you to attend one
" these societ les for your own good.
Next Sunday we discuss the mean
ng of church membership. Dou you
