C0XYESTI05 OF THE T. P. S. C. E. t BrlvsstM 4 T7 Iat- mmt Waalal ttaUtartas- Tbe second convention of the en- deaver societies of tbis county was beld here last week at tbe Christian church, with a tolerable good attendance of del egate from tbe different sociUes, al though the small attendance did not detract from the enthusiasm manifested by those present, wbo made it the suc cessful and instructive meeting it was. The programme commenced with ex ercises on IHIHSUAV EVENING, Consisting of singing by the congre gation and devotional service by Pres. H- F, Mulkey. Mr. Mulkey also made a few remarks on tbe information to be gained and the social time tbese ses- sions bring forth. Mrs. W. J. tpillman then sang a very beautiful solo. W bat Good Can I Get from tbe Convention, was discussed in ten minute speeches by Elder J. X. Hmitb, Elder Ell Fisher and Professor P. L. Campbell. The central thought on this topic was that eacb must take some active part in the work if he would be benefitted. A nice selection was next sang by Mrs. Eli Fisher, after which tbe benediction was pronounced by Elder Smith. FRIDAY HORSINO. Sunrise prayermeetlug was conduct ed by H. Lv Miser, which convened at six a. ui., with about twento-hve eu deavorers preseot. An interesting meeting was bad, nearly every one tak ing an active part. ' At nine a. ru. tbe convention opened with singing and devotional exercises by H. M. Freeman. Tbe address of welcome by .Miss Mary Coats, was a hearty one given with much earnest ness, and was responded to by Elder Ell Fisher, who gave some very good advice and bade us keep on in the good work so nobly started in Polk county. The address by tbe county presideut, B. F. Mulkey, wa full of good thoughts and encouragement. One thought that was brought out very forcibly, was why are no more delegates preseut from tbe different societies. Tbe peo ple need to be aroused in the Christian endeavor work and each society should take it upon itself to further the cause in the county. The topic, What Constitutes a True Endeavorer, by Miss Mary Collins, was a well prepared paper. In her talk and during tbe discussion, the following points were presented: To be a true endeavor, first be a Christian; second take the Christian endeavor pledge and take it conscienciously, leading a Iile io accordance with that pledge and work as our motto says, "For Christ and the Church." How to Conduct Devotional Exer cises to Secure tbe Beat Results, was given 'by Mrs. O. A. Kramer. Thor ough preparation is reqQired ; no person can take charge of -devotional exercises without having had some preparation. Ask God to be with you and strength en your every elfbrt, and when you are called upon to lead the meeting, do not ask some older person to lead in prayer but try yourself and you will And that In Ibis way you will secure good results. m. FKIDAY AFTERNOON The convention opened with singing and ' devotional exercises. Tbe first subject during this session was. Out line of Work of Different Committees, by P. B. Fulton, who said that eacb committee should study ita work till they are familiar with it, and not wait for the chairman of the different com mittees to, do tbe work, but each one work in unison. Junior Work, was taken np by Miss Dell Durham. During ber talk" and the discussion on this theme, it was said tbey who would have a successful junior endeavor, must first gain tbe confidence of the children, be with them, and do not let tbe meetings be dry bat keep tbem interesting, for iu this way we will get tbe children alive to the work, and finally win souls to Christ and his cause. Onr Associate Members, by Miss Mary Coats, was well delivered and some valuable thoughts suggested. Give tbe associate members work to do and in this way develop in tbem Chris tian character. The active members sliould see that they are what tbe asso ciate member expect them to be, and tbey will then more readily follow yonr example. Report of nominating committee was read and adopted; tbe following officers being elected for the ensuing year:- President, Mary Coats; vice president. F. E. Emroett; secretary, J. W. Smith; treasurer, Cora Ellis. ' 1 Resolutions were nassed exoressinsr! tbe sorrow of tbe endeavorera for tbe death of Elder T. F. Campbell and A. W. Lucas associate members, and Mil ' lard Rampyan active member of tbe endeavor society. FRIDAY EVEXIXO. An unusually large audience began to gather at tbe church this evening, and by tbe time the exercises bad com menced the house was well filled. The devotional service consisted of singing by tbe congregation and reading and prayer by Elder Fisher. Elder H. A. Dentoo of McMiunville, then delivered an address, bis subject being tbe Chris tian endeavor pledge. This address was excellent, and we would that all the endeavorera could hare heard it, as it was one by which all could profit. This was followed with a quartette by Mesdames Powell and Spillman, and Messrs. Powell and Kpillman. Tbe consecration service was led by Mr. H. Ij Miser, and after the benediction had been pronounced by Elder Smith, tbe convention adjourned. !
