CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS ARE PLANNING FOR NEW YEAR Christian JEndeavorers are .movtng forward Into greater religious work at the very beginning ot the new year of 1918. Many opportunities await the boys and girls, young men and women and even those persons who have joined the Veterans' As sociation. The constant training of Endeavorers in the work for "Christ and the Church" qualities them for any emergency that may offer itself in church work. Leaders in religious work are about ready to establish some sort of selective draft in church work. The calls of war upon church work ers have been so heavy that many churches are crippled, and volun teers to take tho place of men that have gone into the Unltod States Army are few. If tho men at the front are doing their bit for the country, also In Young Men's Chris tian Association and Christian En deavor work it is very important that the church people at home, at much less cost and discomfort, try to do their bit in the various religious or ganizations. A record is kept by the state of ficers of the Endeavorers of the Key stone state who have gone into train ing camps and to Franco and the breach will be covered by other En deavorers who will step Into active service. C. E. NOTES Pennsylvania Endeavorers have been very much alert ever stlice the Rev. R. G. Bannen, D. D., of South Willlamsport, a former state presi dent, stepped into active service for the success of the young peoples movement. ... _ He v lias served in many capacities and nlwavs puts considerable ' pep into anything he undertakes to do. He was ono of the high lights ybo arranged for tho successful state convention held in Altoona several years ago. He is at present one ot the vice-presidents of the State union and also president of the Veterans Association. . "Christian Duty and Privilege. 1.
