CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
SOCIETY ACTIVITIES
The Kent And Sussex Societies Are
Giving Extra Service This
Winter.

Christian Endeavor is making rapiC
strides in Sussex county. Two years
ago, very little mention was made il
the newspaper columns, in reference
to any work, done along Christian En-
deator lines. Today, there is in Sussex
county a Christian Endeavor Union
comprising the Senior, intermediate
and Junior C.. 3. Societies of about
fifteen churches.
Rallies are held every three months
in different sections of the county
These rallies are well attended by
representatives from the various So
cieties. Helpful and interesting pro-
grams are planned, always with the
thought of helping the individual So
cities to larger and better work. A
feature of a rally held recently, was
the presentation of two G. E. prayer
meetings. The Cannon intermediate
Society portrayed the manner in
which some of the Endeavors, allow
themselves to conduct a service,
namely. one of those slOw-draggy-
slip shOd everybody wait = for =
someone else - to say something
kind, with the leader late, and no pro-
gram. The c. E. Society Of Mt Olivet
M. P. Church of Seaford, under the
leadership Of Mrs. w. L. Hoffman, pre-
sented Z model meeting. conducted
along the most approved lines. The
contrast between the two services was
so great that there is no doubt of the
benefit derived from thu demonstra-
ton, by those present. This is only an
illustration of the many things gained
by bringing together the societies
scattered over Sussex county.
Reports from the various Organlza-
tions are encouraging to a great de-
gree. Some things of interest follow:
Georgetown Endeavors filled and dis
tributed baskets filled with groceries,
fruits, nuts, candy, ETC., and contribut-
ed five dollars to the Westminster
Home for the Aged. Milton Endeavors |
also reported having filed Christmas |
baskets for the needy of their town. |
Laurel C. E. Society has formed mis-
sion study class, using text book on
Japan. A senior and junior c. E. So
ciety has been formed in Gethsemane
NJ. P. Church, Reliance, under the dl-
rection of Rev. B. A. Bryan. This jun
ior society has about thirty members,
and is doing especially well. Seatord
and Milton M. P. Churches have form
ed intermediate societies, and George
town has a Junior Society of forty-slX
under the leadership of Mrs.
Charles T. Jester. An arrangement
made by Mrs. Jester with the Sunday
school superintendent, Charles L. I'm
mis-, allows one of the juniors five MIN
utes of every Sunday school hour for ,
the purpose of presenting to the >.
S. Juniors the work of the junior en-
deavor, and to invite all of junior age
to come to their service. Milton inter-
mediates conduct the prayer meeting
the last Sunday evening OF each :
month. The first annual county con- ! !
vention will be held on March goth, in
the M. P. Church, Georgetown, and is
being looked forward to with much
interest by Christian Endeavors of the
county and state, and is expected to
be productive of much inspiration and
be of much real service to all who
will attend. Christian EndeavOrs and !
friends of Christian Endeavor have I
every reason to feel encouraged with I
.he work of the past year and have 1
right to expect greater things in the I
year to come. !
