ENDEAVOR SOCIETY
 HOLDS MEETINGS
Interesting Weekly Bible Study
 Is Featured

John Frye, Jr., led last Sundays meeting of the Christian Endeavor so- ciety of the Woodlawn Presbyterian church, using as his topic, What Is Sin ?"
 The leader pointed out the great ad- vantage of the teaching of the Bible if practiced in the world. The Scripture was found in 1 John 8 4 and Romans S:9-20. In the first of these refer ences the Apostle John shows the rela- tiOn between sin and breaking the law, while Paul discourses on the natural sinfulness of the human race.
 The clippings and questions were dis cussed after a solo arranged by the musical committee. The clippings and questions, as the c. E. society calls them, are clippings of printed matter giving a thought on the topic. There are always many of these distributed and they add much to the meetings.
 One-half the world lacks the Gospel, one-haf the world has the Gospel. What shall our half of the world do about it are hints as to that you will hear in our meeting next Sunday night at 6 80 o'clock.
 We meet in the Woodlawn Presby- terian church, First avenue and Fifty seventh street. When you come, ask for a clipping and get Chester Riggs to give you a membership card.

Twenty-Five Thousand Slackers By GEORGE LEWIS BALES

The travelling salesmen have helped to make Gideon one of the best known characters in history.
 Gideon was not the first or even the last horny handed, brown checked farm CT, whose name has been written large and high in the records of the great.
 Moses left his cows and sheep grazing in the valley when he had seen the burning bush, and went back to Egypt to lead two. million of his fellow jews up from slavery. Three hundred years after Gideon, Elisha left his blow standing in the furrow to receive the mantle which fell from Elijah's shoul- ders. Still later, Amos gave up the work of herding goats to publish his prophecies concerning Israel. Later yet Cincinnatus left his blow standing in the valley of the Fiber to take his place at the helm of the Roman state.
 One day Gideon was thrashing wheat when celestial messenger came and said unto him, Il have come to bring you a commission to save your people from the Midianites." These oppressors were wild Arabs who regularly came at harvest time to carry away the crops of grain and the sheep and cattle of the jews. For seven successive years they bounced upon the Israelites who

CHURCH TO BUILD
 $50,OOO ADDITION
Eleventh Avenue MethOdists Planning For Future Growth
 In Membership

Work on $50,00O addition to the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church i'm mediately adjoining the present struc- ture will be started at once, according to announcement by church officials.
 The new addition will harmonize with the present church structure at Eleventh avenue and Twelfth street. Plans call for the latest ideas in church construction.
 The building will have a frontage of approximately 60 feet on Twelfth ave nue and will extend back a uniform distance of 100 feet. It will contain two stories and basement.
 Rapid increase in the membership of the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church is given as the reason for the handsome new addition, which church officials declare is badly needed to care for the overflow. Regular enrolment of the church is said to have practically doubled since the Rev. s. o. Kimbrough has been pastor of the church.

THE TWELVE JUDGES Judges 2: 1918: z: 2-S.

J16. Nevertheless the Lord raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
 17. And yet they would not harken unto their judges, but they went whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them {; they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obey ing the commandments of the Lord {; but they did not so.
 IS. And when the Lord raised them up judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge for it re- pented the Lord because of their groanings by reason of them that op- pressed them and vexed them.
 2. |. And the Lord said unto Gid con, the people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
 8. Now therefore go to. proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid. let him return and, depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thou sand and there remained ten thou sand.
 4. And the Lord said unto Gid con, The people are yet too many l; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there and it shall be, that of whom l say unto thee, This shall go with thee. the same shall go with thee, and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee the same shall not go.
 5. So he brought down the peo- pie unto the water; and the Lord said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth, him shalt thou set by him. self; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
 6. And the number of them that Tapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men :: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
 :. And the Lord said upto Gid con. By the three hundred men that Tapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand; and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
 8. So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley,
