CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR NOTES
There is one committee in the En-
deayor, whose work Is of the sort very
little noticed or spoken of. Yet the
success OF the Endeavor rests large
ly on that committees whole-hearted
untiring work each week. If we
should attend church some Sunday
morning and find the minister missing
we would feel that there was quite
a hole i'm the service. The Endea-
vor service would be In d similar pos
ition II the Prayer Meeting committee
failed to provide topic and leader
each week. Last Sunday evening.
Miss Helen Smith spoke on the topic
of Faith" which seemed rather ap-
propriate under the existing condi-
tions It has generally been the
rule that when the electric lights are
off not to attempt to hold the even
ing services. But Miss Alice For
sythe, chairman of the prayer meet
ing committee had faith that the
Endeavor could hold a meeting and
proved 1t by cleaning up three rather
dusty lamps deposited in the church
basement, resulting in truly whole
hearted Endeavor service, in spite or
the fact that the special music plan
ned had to be called off and that there
were only nine present. Oftentimes
in our criticism OF the fact that many
youhg people show very little interest
In the church we overlook those who
are endeavoring to do their best there.
The Endeavor not only can feel proud
of its music committee, but also of
its membership and prayer meeting
committee members and their work.
All ladies are invited to attend the
millinery display from the Davis Mil
linery Parlors of North Anson at Mrs.
Jennie Hunnewell's store this week.
Miss Davis will be there Friday.

dence of A. 8. Burke on Tuesday May
