CHE ISTIAN ENDEAvORERS
SPECIAL UNION CITY DAY
Occasion Rivals in Importance the
District Meetings.

District Meetings.
Last Sunday was one of the big
gest days in the history of the Union
City G. p. Endeavorers. 1t was sur
passed in Importance only by the Dis
trict G. E. Convention held in the
Church in 1921. Why was it a big
day? 1t was Evans and Jones Rally
Day. Mr. Chas. F. Evans is Southern
Secret ary and M. Bert G. Jones is
Tcnnessee's rev Field Secretary. In
addition to these two distinguished
visitors we had with us Mr.. Clark
Williamson, of Newbern, District
President, and Mr.. D. W. Perry of
Mckenzie, District Vice President.
Beginning with the sunrise prayer
meeting and continuing throughout
| the entire day, unusual interest was
| manifested in the services. The en-
tire c.. P. Junior Society, with su-
perintendelts, came up from Dyer on
the morning train and went back
on the afternoon train. Quite a
number of the Beech Juniors attend
ed the Junior rally in the afternoon.
Other out-of-town visitors were the
Bethlehem Seniors and a representa-
tive of the Rives society. The at
tendance Of the Junior, Intermediate
and Senior societies of the c. P. and
Christian churches in town was good
The sunrise prayer meeting in the
park was conducted by Mr.. Evans,
and all those who attended sucn
services conducted by him at State
conventions know that it is we'll
worth the effort of little early ris,-
ing.
Mr.. Jones attended Sunday schoo!
at the G. P. Church and led the sing
ing in a most inspiring way. He
was formerly an evangelistic singer.
His address at the eleven-o clock |
hour could not fail to fill those who |
heard it with a greater love and re-
spect for Christian Endeavor and |
the principles for which it stands.
Mr.. Williamson called a meeting
of the district officers at 1880 to |
discuss plans for the Knoxville con-
vention. Northwest has already
gone over the top in advance regis
trations. Her goal was SIS and al
ready 81 registrations have gone in
and there are more coming.
At 2:30 the Junior rally was held
at the Christian Church, followed by
a Junior workers conference, which
proved a source of inspiration to Ju-
niors and superintendents, too.
At $3.50 a union G. E. meeting or
rally was held at the c. P. Church,
conducted by Mr.. Evans, which
meant as much to Senior and Inter
mediate societies as the afternoon did
o the Juniors.
The field secretaries were very
much pleased with the work being
lone in Northwest District and in
Union City in particular. They con-
5ratulated the local societies on their
lnique advertising methods and on
heir splendid knowledge of Chris
ian Endeavor work. Mr. Evans says
hat Northwest District not only was
he banner district at the State Con-
ention last year, but still is the
amer district Northwest was the
rst to reach the advance registra-
ion goals and there are more honor
hurches in our district than in any
ther in Tennessee. His own district
f Chattanooga is the only one sur
assing ours on M. S. P. reports, and
Ut secretary tells us that, as many
lore reports have come in to her this
onth than usual, she thinks it very
robable that we've gone ahead of
chattanooga District this month un-
IS they've made big increase, too.
hree cheers for Northwest!
