HEISEY. Editor. Our Endeavor Society has done work in recent months We have a fine group of young people who are able to make an in teresting Sunday evening program Rev. Bergstresser gave an inspiring talk to the young people on the evening of January 22, and the lec ture on the, evening of the twentythird, which was also -under the auspices of this Society, was most excellent. We shall be delighted to have Rev.

Bergstresser come again. Shall the Society celebrate the twentieth anniversary of its organization. That date is in July, at a time when it will not be very difli cult to secure speakers for a pro gram, if that kind of a program is desired. The pastor, suggests that a committee be appointed in. the near future to arrange for, the celebration.

It has been suggested several times that a E. Society be organized at Blanchville and we believe the time to be ripe for such an organization There are many young people who are capable of working in such a society, and there are those who would soon develop into good workers The religious life of the community would be greatly benefitted by Christian Endeavor work, and certainly social, life among the young people could be fostered in many very pleasant and profitable ways.
