organizations was held at the Pres
byterian church here last Thursday
and was a most enjoyable occasion

here to participate in the exercises.

Charleston to arrive ON the early
morning train who took an active
interest in the days program. Mr..
C. C. Hamilton, Christian Endeavor
world representative Of Boston, Mass,
and Mr.. Charles F. Evans, Southern
Secretary Of United Society Of Chris
tian Endeavor, were here for the One
Day Endeavor Institute. Those pres
ent were we'll entertained. Strangers
were all we'll taken care of by men,
bers of the congregation.
