Church of God and Market
\ Square in Contest.
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 object is
not so much in the winning of the
contest by either society as the in
jection of new life and the addition
of new members and the reinstate
ment of old members into the aciive
work of each society. 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.
The result of this contest will oe
.mncunced within a few weeks. Tne
Winning society will be entertained in
a social by the loser.
Lawson Laverty, a livewire endaa
v-r worker, will have charge of tne
services on Sunday evening, assisted
Iv Mif.s Anna Dugan. The topic,
'Letsons From the Risen Chri.i.s
Forty Days," will be discussed.

Boston Christian Scientists
Send Much to Soldiers
About 29,500 articles were prepar
ed and sent to enlisted men and war
refugees liy the Comfort* Forward
ing Committee, conducted by the
Christian Scientists of fhe Boston
district and located at 32 8 Boylston
street, Boston, during the first three
months of the committee's work.
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.
