it'Sr. On Friday, June 25, the Oil City and
Vicinity Local Union or Christian En
deavor mot at Pleasantvillo. The Pres
byterian church was very tastefully dec
orated with flowers and evergreens. Mr.
Davidson of the local society proMdod in
tho afternoon and under his direction a
very interesting and profitable meeting
was held. A program had been arranged
consisting of papers and talks on sub
jects of Importance to all C. E'a.
Tho first quostion discussed was: "Is
too Much Expected of tho Committees of
our Society." The affirmative was sup
ported by Mr. Robbins of Siverly, and
tho negative by J. I). Morrow of Tionos
ta, who very ably proved that too much
could not lie expected from any member
of our society.
Then followed two papers on "Propor
tionate ami Systematic Giving," one by
I. R. KcKenzie of Oil City, and the sec
ond by Mrs. Gertrude Morrow of Endea
vor. An open parliament followed, all
agreeing that we should all "give to the
Lord as we have been prospered." That
church burdens should be borne equally.
Now came two papers on Junior Work
by Miss MeQuown of Franklin and Miss
Sterrctt of Titusville.
The evening session convened at 8
o'clock and was opened by a song service
and prayer by Rev. Cunningham, of
Pleasantvillo. The addressos of the con
vention were delivered by Rev. Sampson
of the A. M. E. church of Titusville on
"Practical Rclegion,"and by Rev. Brown,
D.D., orFrauklinon "Our Pledge Vows."
Both talks were practical and were well
received by all.
Musio was furnished by the Pleasant
ville choir, by Miss Allan of Titusville,
by a male quartette of Titusville, by the
Misses Keefor of Pleasantvillo, and by
Mr. Reighner, of Pleasantvillo. One very
important event of the convention was
the elegant iuncb served In the chapel,
which was a fitting eloe to the good
things that had been enjoyed by all. All
dologates to the afternoon meeting were
kindly entertained at the home of the
local society for supper.
Tionesta was represented by 19 mem
ber who all speak in glowing terms of
the success of the meeting.
