BUSINESS MEETING

Under the leadership of Walter
'Selvy, the EndeavOr Society of the
First Christian Church, is carrying
out a program that is assisting very
largely in the successful work of
the church.
The regular business meeting of
the Society was held in the base
ment of the church, Monday even
ing of this week, unusual interest
was shown by the increase in the
usual attendance at these meetings.
One of the very pleasant numbers
that was given was not on the pro-
gram, yet that did not lessen the
enjoyment of those present, when
the Odd Fellows Band, under the
direction of Perry Craven, appeared
and gave two selections.
The Endeavorers are now con-
ducting a real contest that is calling
forth more than a passing interest
of the young people who are mem
bers of the Church and those who
are not affiliated. Every effort will
be put forth to enlist in the Endeav-
or work all those who are not work
ing in some of the local churches
The real import of the meeting Mon
day night was TO perfect plans tC
carry the contest to a successful
close.

Tense for a marker.
