League of Men

The male members of the various
churches at Fordyce have set a fine
example for churchmen of other towns
and cities.
The Mems Christian League was
formed at FOrdyce some time ago,
composed of laymen of the different
churches, and it now has a member.
ship of 150
The work of the League is divided
into teams, there being approximately
fifteen teams, consisting of fifteen or
twenty members each.
Each team elects its captain whose
duty it is to organize the team and
hold it ready at all times, subject to
the call Of the general chairman.
The chairman receives calls or in
vitations from rural communities and
churches to visit certain church and
conduct a service. He selects the
team which goes out and conducts SER
vices. Each team has mems choir
which gives choruses, quartets, solos,
etc. The rural churches are taking
much interest in the opportunity af.
fOrded them for meetings.
Since the organization of the Mems
Christian League at Fordyce more
than 100 meetings have been held and
several conversions made. As a gener-
al rule, the meetings are held on Sun
day afternoon at o'clock thus per-
mitting each member of the League
to attend his own church services.
The officers of the League in most
cases are officers in the different
churches. Often the chairman of a
gospel team is called upon to have the
team to take charge of the mid-week
prayer services at some one of the
local churches.
Recently the various churches agreed
that the teams conduct a union ser
vice once each month at each of the
churches.
The work of the League is carried
on largely through the gospel teams.
