16 MEMBERSHIP DAY WILL BE OBSERVED IN GRACE METHODIST CHURCH; BIG SUNDAY SCHOOL MASS MEETIN TO HOLD ANNUAL SONG SERVICE Special Program Will Be Given at Market Square Presbyterian It has long been the custom of Market Square Choir to give a mid winter song service. This year will be no exception. This special num ber will be sung to-morrow night. It will attract music lovers who always watch to know when this church has special musical features. The well-known reputation of the charac ter and quality of music rendered by this famous choir is enough of a notice to give large audiences. To morrow night should be no excep tion. Kvery preparation is being made to bend all services to the special meetings which are to be held March 24th to April 7th. Arrangements are being perfected to have a chorus choir of 100 voices. The first week the pastor will have the assistance of the Rev. It. C. Betts, of Latrobe; and the second of Dr. E. C. Reeve, of Clearfield. Growing out of the wonderful meeting of men held last Monday night a Men's League is being form ed. More than 100 men signed a suggested constitution in a few min utes. As many more are ready to sign. If the plans in the mind of the pastor work out, Market Square will have a great organization of Harrisburg's leading men. Dr. Hawes thinks that such an organiza tion will mean much, in every way, for the men themselves; and that it will l'urnish the church with a work ing force which will make this church a greater power in the city and state than it has been in its noteworthy past. He wants, not less than 300 men of the congregation yoked up in this fellowship.

UNION BANQUET PLANS COMPLETE Arrangements For Big Metho dist Union Dinner Have Been Finished There has perhaps never been an event in religious circles in Harris burg, which has met with such hearty response the proposition of the Methodists of this city, to hold an annual banquet for Methodists. "When this plan was first proposed, there was considerable question as to the propriety of a gathering of this kind iji war times, but religious people everywhere are realizing that v instead of this being an objection, it is a very strong argument in favor of this strong denominational body co-ordinating its forces for the great service demanded of Christian peo ple to-day. At the meeting of the committee last night final arrangements were completed, and the committee on tickets were up against the remark able situation of taking care of al most 10 requests with 30 tickets. The seating capacity of the Masonic Temple being limited to 500. the se curing of Chestnut Street Hall was discussed, but it was not deemed ad visable to make any change in the arrangementt at this time. Next year's event however, will require the largest hall in the city. Give Program The Program Committee has an nounced that the speakers of the evenin gwill be Bishop Wm. F. Mc- Dowell, District Superintendent Mor ris E. Swartz, and J.

This is the last ser mon of a series of four that Dr. Bagnell has preached to capacity audiences every Sunday evening for the last three weeks. Sunday morning at 10.30 o'clock Membership Day will be celebrated and all those desiring to join the church will be taken in at that time. Dr. Bagnell will preach on the topic "Turn on the Light," at this special morning service. Decision Day in the Sunday School last Sunday show ed that about iifty of the Sunday School scholars desired to unite with the church to-morrow. This has been one of the most strenuous cam paigns that Grace Church has ever held. Dr. Bagnell condtjcted all the services with the exception of two, of which Dr. Geo. P. Maines and Dr. Geo. Edward Reed had- charge. He was assisted by the Voluntary Chorus Choir under the leadership of Prof. John W. Phillips. One of the high spots were the ■weekly meetings of the ladies in the church, where all of the ladies who participated in the daily conferences, which were held all over the city, came together with the Red Cross workers and from 12.30 until 1.00 o'clock had a devotional prayer ser vice. These meetings were attend ed by as high as two hundred ladies and were some of the most helpful meetings of the campaign. Another feature was the weekly business men's luncheon held in the Y. M. C. A. every Thursday at noon during the Grace Church Drive for the Kingdom. Last Thursday Dr. Bagnell talked on "A Business Man's Relationship to the Church," and the room was crowded with business men of Grace Church and their friends. This was by far the best attended and the most helpful meeting of the series. Quite a few prospects have been located that the workers will be unable to bring into the church Sunday and while the cam paign will officially close on Sunday, yet the workers will continue their efforts until every possible prospect is brought into the Kingdom.

MANY ENDEAVORS SINCE SOCIETY WMS FOUNDED Thousands of Endeavorers are taking a retrospective view of what has been accomplished by the Chris tian Endeavor movement during the past thirty-seven years of interest ing history. It is well to take count of stock, to count the many bless ings, and from them draw encour agement and inspiration for the fu ture. Even dry statistics are elo quent on such an anniversary, says Dr. Frances E. Clark, of Boston. Following are a few items of what Christian Endeavorers have accom plished : More than one hundred thousand societies built on the Christian En deavor plan, in thirty-seven years, nearly four-fifths of them bearing the interdenominational name. Fifteen millions of members trained in some degree for Christian service and in the practice of Chris tian fellowship. One hundred million of prayer meetings held, each of which has exerted some influence for good, and given opportunity for the expres sion of the religious life. Hundreds of thousands of com mittees formed, which have com mitted some form of definite, vol untary welfare work to these mil lions of young Chrisitans. Tens of thousands of union meet ings and conventions held, varying in size from a few score to fifty thousand in attendance, thus vastly promoting the fellowship of the de nominations. Societies formed in practically every land and every evangelical denomination; over one hundred countries and their colonies and over one hundred distinct denomi nations In this list. Uplift and rescue work under taken for and by soldiers, sailors, and in hospitals, prisons, fresh air camps, in iengine houses, on the street corners, and in every conceiv able place of opportunity. Some forty weekly or monthly Christian Endeavor publications, in a dozen languages, and a large li brary of helpful literature publish ed. An eager response since the war began, to the country's call for food production and economy, for Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. K. work, etc. A hundred thousand endeavorers in training camps or at the front, and societies formed in canton ments, regiments and naval quar ters. This last year the best of all the thirty-seven, in increase and effi ciency, in most of the countries from which the war allows us to obtain reports. C. E. Notes [ The Chicago Christian Endeavor I union has started a drive to secure 5,000 new members. H. D. Jackson, a prominent En deavorer in the city's C. E. circles, will conduct the prayer service at the Market Street Baptist society on Sunday evening. Consecration meeting will be ob served on Sunday evening by many societies and the topic for discus sion will be, "Christian Duty and Privilege. 111. Prayer." Some Endeavorers from the state of Washington, who promised to "take Christian Endeavor into the trenches," have started a society in their regiment. Christ Lutheran Endeavorers will study an interesting topic at the meeting to-morrow evening, and Earl Miller will bo the leader. The Young People's Department of the Presbyterian Church is issu ing 5,000 Young People's bonds, and is inviting Presbyterian societies and individuals to purchase the bonds. Of the 9,000 Presbyterian societies а. large number will show their loy alty by becoming bondholders. Miss Ida Wright will speak at the Second Reformed Christian Endeav or Society on Sunday evening and an interesting program will be enjoyed by the C. E. workers. The St. John's Lutheran Society, Steelton, held an interesting and profitable meeting in the church last evening. Miss Florence Lusk had charge of the service. The Endeavorers of Chicago had a fine share in securing 150,000 names of voters to a monster peti tion, the cleanest petition that ever went through the doors of the city hall, urging that the prohibition is sue be placed before the voters of Chicago in April. John Wonders and Win, Ziegler will have charge of the Keystone League service at' the Park Street United Evangelical Church on Sun day evening. St. Matthews' Lutheran Endeavor ers will study the topic, "Christian Duty and Privilege," to-morrow eve ning. Miss Marian Zimmerman will conduct the service. At the First Church of Cod, New Cumberland, the C. E. service on Sunday evening will interest all En deavorers and friends. Mrs. M. N. Straub will have charge of the meet ing. "A Saloonlcss Nation—l92o'' Christian Endeavorers are work ing with patritism and a determi nation to see a saloonless nation by the year 1920. One of the cheer songs which is used in many places by Endeavorers is as follows: Vote out the Booze Shops every one, Vote out the Booze Shops every one, Mothers save your daughters, Fathers save your sons, John Barleycorn must leave us soon. t One write has said that "the Christian people of the United States have it in their power to stop tha greatest food, fuel, and transporta tion waste in our country to-day. Consider these facts based on re liable statistics. Since Congress had a chance to act on war prohibition last April, and was prevented by the liquor representatives, the brew eries have used more than 3,000,- 000 tons of coal, or 60,000 carloads of 50 tons each. They have used 58,500,000 bushels of grain, or 58,- 500 cars of 1,000 bushels each. They have produced 45,613,Q32 barrels of beer, or 570,163 cars of 80 barrels each. Here are 688,663 carloads, or б,OOO miles of cars, enough to make a solid train reaching from Boston to San Francisco and back again. They have used enough coal to sup ply 500,000 families for the four coldest winter months. Is it any wonder we have food, fuel, and transportation problems? In Boston the breweries are running and the puolic schools are closed, and yet the breweries use more fuel than the schools, and destroy more food products than would feed the en tire school population." The rehearsals will be held each Tuesday evening during the month of March in the Pine Street Social room, corner South and Third streets. Catchy music, with inspiring and] thrilling renditions featured the pro ductions of the oratories, rendered by the Harrlsburg Christian En deavor Choral during the past seven years. Since the beginning of the organization's existence the follow ing works have been rendered: | 1910, "The Prodigal Son;" 1911, "The Shepherd King;" 1912, "Peni tence, Pardon and Peace;" 1913, "Bethany;" 1914, "The Redeemer;" 1915, "The Nazarene;" 1916, selec tions from Gounod and "The Mes siah," by Handel: 1917, "Elijah." Music-loving people are anticipat ing to hear another popular rendi-. tion during the coming season. Ar rangements have been completed for this season's work. "St. Paul," by Mendelssohn, one of the great ora torios, has been selected for the ninth annual concert to be rendered the beginning of May. Prof. Frank A. McCrtrrell, choir master of the Pine Street Presby terian Church, has again been se cured as instructor. He is noted as one of the best leaders in this sec tion of the state. Many members of the Choral Union regard it a privilege to be under his instruc tions. Mrs. Henry H. Lentz, the popular pianist, who so ably supported Prof. McCarrell, will again preside at the piano. The following music committee will have charge of the detail work for the current season: Misses Elda Pennebaker. Mae Hoover, Bessie E. March. Anna Dim, Mrs. J. S. Reel, Misses Christine Miller, Edna Rintz, Bernice Paxton, Carrie Knabe, Mrs. E. S. Schilling, Katherine Germer, Grace McKelvey, Catherine Heikes, Esther Smith; Messrs.
