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.

MEMBERSHIP DAY
AT GRACE CHURCH
Dr. Bagnell Will Preach Last
Sermon of the Drive
For the Kingdom
The Grace Church drive for the
Kingdom will end to-morrow with a
sermon at 7.30 o'clock by Dr. Robert
Bagnell, pastor, on "Is Gml Upon
the Throne?" 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

"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.

siah," by Handel: 1917, "Elijah."

torios, has been selected for the

master of the Pine Street Presby
terian Church, has again been se
