Christian Endeavors of the ; Fourth Street Church of God are en ! gaged in a lively contest with the Market Square Presbyterian Society to last for ten weeks.

The contest started off with a vim and both rivals are striving to the utmost to cro-s the tape with the highest score. Points are being given for new mem bers. testimony and prayer in tne services, attendance at midweek prayer meeting of the church, for visiters oresent. etc. The Fourth Street Society is aim ing and expects to become in the near future, one of the Five Thou sand Superior Societies of the world, a state of efficiency in the endeavor wcrld that, entitled the society meet ing the conditions to place a silver seal on their efficiency certificate. Tlio society has almost secured 'ne necessary number of credits for the sdver seal, and their active and hustiing president, Harold E. Eckert, with his livewire committeemen, are positively determined to "go over the top" by midsummer. The work of the comrades of Mie Quiet Hour and the members of the Tenth Legion is helping materiat'y in the campaign, and the special mu sical features of the Sunday evening .nettings and the constant offering of the best speakers in the gospel work to be had in the city make their - ervices particularly attractive.

Among the goods forwarded were 16,000 knitted articles and comfort kits, 5,500 articles of new clothing for French, Italian. Belgium, and Serbian refugee children, and about 8,000 selected second-hand or re made articles of clothing. One American ship has been sup plied with enough knitted goods, totaling 3,500 pieces, to equip all the sailors on board. A large number of the knitted garments and other comforts have been turned over to the different war relief associations in Boston, which are in direct com munication with the people of their respective countries. notably the British, French. Italian and Belgian associations. Some of the recruits front Boston for the British and Canadian forces were supplied with knitted articles before they left home. A feature of the* Comforts For warding work which has brought splendid results is the "unit system" of preparing new gar ments for refugee children. Ten of the committee were lirst instructed in the making of a model garment, each of the ten instructed ten others and the latter became captains of teams of ten others whom they in turn instructed. Two groups of team captains meet at the commit tee's rooms every day to receive in structions and material for use by themselves and the members of their respective teams, who work at lei sure moments at home. Thus 1,110 I sewers are banded together for this particular part of the committee's program and they are turning out an average of over 1,000 garments a week. In this work, they have been greatly assisted by one of the patrio tic manufacturing companies of Bos ton, which offeree} and has under taken to do all the cutting required for these garments.
