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.

i which have had an ample supply of
1 steam from the public plant during
