SATURDAY EVENING, HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 20, 1918.
C. E. OFFICIAL LOOKS
FOR EARLY
"We predict a 'dry' spring," says
! Shartle, the livewire Endeavorer of
j Boston. Former State Secretary A.
jJ. Shartle, who organized the en-
I deavor work in the Keystone state,
and gave the endeavorers such a
boost and enthusiasm that Pennsyl
vania became one of the largest
unions In the United States.
A. J. Shartle, treasurer and pub
lication manager of the United So
ciety of Christian Endeavor, is more
than a watchdog of the treasury. He
Is Its creator and its constant re
plenisher. for upon the broad shoul
ders of this splendid son of Pennsyl
vania rests the burden of financing
all of Christian Endeavor's multiple
activities on the North American
continent. He has made a remark
able record' and is a master of de
tail and method, and makes every
move count in accomplishment of
his purpose.
Community co-operation \vas
never more clearly demonstrated
than when the excavation began for
the new C. E. Headquarters Build
ing. Shartle says, "Right on the
building line we found a sympathetic
'bone-dry' well sixty feet deep. To
prevent it from becoming 'filled in'
the demand for the ratification of
the dry amendment, and mailed or
wired it to your congressman or sen
ator for action, do so now.
"Christian Endeavor and the allied
forces are keeping John Barleycorn
! right on the move. Our spring drive
| denotes a 'dry' season. Various
i states have made It a state sport, and
I consequently 'John,' the destroyer
' of hearts, happiness, and homes, is
I now 'digging in' on the last line of
I defense preparatory to his passing
I into oblivion. One hundred feet from
j our new building is the Massachu-
I setts State House with its many offi
! cials. They are fine neighbors. Only
I recently both House and Senate rati-
I lied the dry amendment. Here's an
! other reply to the Atlantic City,
j 1911, " "Saloonless nation by 1920,
goal."
Dan A. Poling is a big fellow in
| statue and a big fellow in heart and
| spirit. Every Endeavorer would en
| joy his story on Ills travels in
j France. In his itinerary he may fci
i elude the capital city next month.
Endeavorers of the State Street
| United Brethren Society enjoyed a
rousing meeting last Sunday even
| ing. The program to-morrow will
| be of such a character that no en
! deavorer can afford to niiss. Roy
Geib will have charge of the meet
j ing.
C. E.'s made a splendid record
, with their war gardens last year,
i which was highly commended by
the chairman of the National War
| Garden Commission. The need this
I year is greater, and the response
| should be unanimous. Every family
I that has or can secure a pfot of
I ground should have a garden.
"St. Paul,'' a great'oratorio, is re
, hearsed weekly by the llarrisburg C.
I E. Choral Union, and promises to
i lie one of the best musical events at
| the spring festival next month.
"How and What to Read" will be
an unusual topic for Endeavorers to
| study to-morrow evening. Many
suggestions will be made as there
are thousands of books and litera
ture coming from the press of to
day.
Mrs. L. Nebinger will have charge
of the topic study at the Market
Street Baptist Society on Sunday
evening.

Captain Julia Stamm and Lieutenant
Almeda Herman, ushered and took

lowing patriotic selections by the
Grace Church chorus choir under the
leadership of Prof. John W. Phillips:
"God of Our Fathers," by the Amer
ican author, Reginald DeHaven, and

that the spacious auditorium of,
