AZ YEARS OLD
Christian Endeavors Are Cele-
brating This Week in
Every State
GROWTH OF UNION

January 80 to February 6, 1888
has been set aside as Christian En-
deavor Week because it was dur
ing this week on February 2, 1891
that the movement was founded
by a young minister, Rev. Francis
E. Clark The young people of the
Williston Congregational Church,
Portland, Maine met with their
pastor and adopted the Christian
Endeavor Pledge. Christian En-
deavor is a protestant, interdenom-
national, international, interracial
fellowship of eighty thousand So
cieties of young people with pres
ent total membership of more than
four million. Eighty-seven denom-
nations are affiliated with Chris
tian Endeavor, and societies are
found in almost every nation in the
world. The International Society
of Christian Endeavor has offices
in the Worlds Christian Endeavor
Building, Al Mount Vernon Street,
Boston, Massachusetts,. The Inter-
national Society assists in the pro-
motion of the movement by giving
constant aid and leadership to the
states and provinces. 1t produces
and distributes literature, organ
ICES and promotes unified programs
and activities among all Christian
young people.
DR.. Daniel A. Polling, PRESIDENT,
International Society of Christian
Endeavor, recently reported: The
supreme business of Christian En-
deavor is leading young people to
Jesus Christ and into the Christian
Church; sustaining and strengthen
ing young people in the Christian
life and releasing them then for the
service of Christ and His cause
through all channels of human en-
deavor.
This is written Immediately af-
ter my return from nine months

MORNING STAR LODGE OF
SMYRNA

The Odd Fellows Hall, the room
in which Morning Star Lodge, No.
6, meets, has been undergoing some
important improvements for their
convenience and comfort, which it
is designed to have completed for
the regular meeting on Friday
night. The walls have been wains-
coated all around several feet
above the floor; above it is pretty
design of gilt paper, the ceiling be-
ing finished in decorative papering
of panel and figures, giving it a
most attractive appearance. New
platforms and pedestals have also
been erected for the officers chairs,
and new furniture has been pro-
cured which will be an important
addition to the room. Instead of
being heated with stoves as hereto
fore, a heater has been placed be-
low to do this work. When the
lodge meets on Friday night it will
be in a room that is claimed to be
the most handsomely finished (not
the largest) of any Odd Fellows
room in the State.

the heavy northeast gale struck
them and capsized their vessel.
They clung to the icy rigging with
the waves dashing over them for

heroically rescued them all alive,

The rescue was accomplished with

For the past few days the Della

headway even in the wake Of an
