THE YOUNG WORKERS === Mass Meeting of the District Chris- tian Endeavor Union. RECORD OF THE PAST YEAR REVIEWED Reception Tendered to the New Board of Officers. THE ADDRESSES DELIVERED ey The opening mass meeting for the Dis- trict of Columbia Christian Endeavor Union was held last evening at Calvary Baptist Sunday school house. The attendance was very large and great enthusiasm prevailed. After devotional services, led by Mr. Page L. Zimmerman, reports from the outgoing officers of their work during the past year were presented an. approved. The first report to be read was that Miss Christine A. Poggensee, c the lookout committee, and wa follows “Our first meeting, which was held the last day cf August. was simply to organize and arrange the time for our regular meet- in. The third Tuesday of each month selected for this purpose. ‘We found upon investigation that there were few churches which had neither de- nominational or Christian Endeavor So- In nearly all cases where no such societies existed, we called on the pastors, explained the object of the Christian En- deavor ae + left Hi ure, and did whatever we could to encourage and help. The societies thus organized by the com- mittee are prospering, having entered into the work in the true Christian Endeavor spirit. “In our tour of visiting we found that several societies on our roll, which hal been organized shortly before the conv tion, had ceased to exist. There were, however, five new societies added to the erion during our term of office, the Third cr Society, and those of Concerd Maryland M. E., 's Chapel versity P: Congregational, and Union We E. churches. ‘Summing it in addition to the litle services wrich shouid not be recorded, committee has held six- . M. all. up, rendered, the teen committee meetings, made ninety-eight visits, conducted sixty-seven meetings and arranged 270 visits, which were made by the intervisitation committee. M‘ssionary Work. The report of Mr. J. M. Foster, man of the missionary committee, w substarce, as follow “During the past year the missionary committee has endeavored to promote the interests of missions and missionary work by holding missionary prayer meeting: encouraging the organization of mi committees and by urging the import- stematic giving to the cause of chair- » in Christ. “About twenty meetings have been held, many societies. In many of these s ‘Armenia’ was the special sub- dered. “As a result of the committee's work nearly all of the societies have missionary committees. Of the eighty-six societies in the union, forty-four have adopted the two-cent-a-week plan for raising money for mi nine socfeties follow some other plan: en have not adopted any plan of reguiar giving, and twenty-two have not reported is subject. There are prob- ably sixty societies that have adopted some plan of systematic giving. “Late in the year a letter was sent to the chairmen of missionary committees, g attention to the Tenth Legion, and asking that its merits be presented to the for their consideration. Mr. Baer, secretary of the United Soctety, reports that the enrollment in the ‘Ten: Legion from the District of Columbia is twenty-two.” Plans of Organization. The ccrrespondence committee, through Miss Anna J. Bell, chairman, reported thus: “At the beginning of the year just ended thought wise by the mittee to r new plans of organization and work, that we might the better meet the growing needs of our union. Correspond- ence was accordingly entered into with sim- ilar committees in other unions, and, from all the suggestions thus hered, best suited to our own needs wei Our present plan of work is a “Throughout the jt during the vacation season, regular monthly meetings of this committee have been held, at which plans of work have been cons ved and larger opportunities for serving the church oclety sought. We went somewhat scribed lines of work in spring, union social in April, the first social’ « given by the union, I believe, having been in charge of this committee. Almost five hundred Endeavorers of our city were pr ent on that occasion, and the hour we spent together did much to help us to know one another better, to bring us into closer tian fellowship, and, we believe, to us a new impetus to the werk. ‘In reviewing the work of the past year, we realize how far it has fallen below the ideal we had in mind as we planned and worked and prayed, but we are thankful to have been privileged to have some part in the service ef Christ and His churen, forgetting the things which are be- d, we press forward,’ with larger plan: hisher purpose, With more earne: yer for greater success in the future.” Good Citizenship. The report of the good citizenship com- ittee, W. H. Pennell, chairman, was read by Mr. Herman C. Metcalf, secretary, andj was as follows: “We have met with the same difficulties that have confronted -the committees of former yeers, prominent among them be- ing the fact that under the form of gov- ernment new in vogue in the District of Columbia whatever reforms are brought about must be done through the action of Congress or of the Commissioners, and not by the voice of the people as in more demo- sally governed communities. There however, been in some of the so- cieties an increase of activity in different lines of reform work, but the seeming lack of tangible and definite lines of pro- ‘dure has undoubicdly been the rea son why all the societies have not been actively at work. To supply this need and to determine in which directions it would be wise to move in attaining the ends tor which the good citizenship committees are created has been our greatest desire. “The work of the reform bureau before Congress, under the direction of Rev. Wil- bur F. Crafts, appealed to the committee as cormené: , and we have rendered such assistance as seemed wise and expe- dient. It is to be regretted that objects so worthy cs these and so necessary for the welfare of the people should have met with so small degree of success or have failed so miserably. Several measures failed, we were told, because of a lack of support from the moral agencies of the city. In order that such support might be assured in the future we have taken the initiatory steps looking to the formaticn of a simple organization of the ministers of Washing- ton for this purpose. The interest they have manifested in the project is gratifying and we believe the work of the committee for the coming year will be greatly bene- fited by such an organization.’ Work of Literature Committee. ‘The good literature committee, Miss Zue H. Brockett, chairman, reported thus: “March 20, 1897, the first union good Iterature committee, consisting of eleven members, including. the chairman, began the literary work of the Christian En- deavor Union. “Out of eighty-six societies there were reported but thirty having .good litera- ture committees. Some of these not doing much of anything. Up to the present time, reports have been received from forty. About eighteen are doing fairly good work, the rest very little or nothing. Very little system is found in the work except in three or four of the churches. i “Mcst of it consists in collecting and dis- tributing I:terature. The distribution gen- erally consists in sending out the literature or taking it in person. “Other work is the making of ‘eomfort powders” for the hospitals, the copying of quotations end scripture texts for scatter- ing inciscriminately, and the preparing of out of our pre- the the b with I dainty booklets for the ‘shut ins’ and chil+ dren’s hospitals. ‘Magazines and the like go to the hos pitals, engine houses and people of the m intelligence, the religious papers to places wMere such is needed, and the pic- ture books to the chiidren and those who cannot read. “The reports show visitations at seven of our hespitals, five missions, three homes, two engine houses and a few other places such as the depots, barber shops, police stations and street car conductors. An- other feature of the work has been to-ad- v the loca} committes as to what is ex- pected of them. “A great deal of good work is going on in churches, which are provided with cireu- lating libraries, such as Calvary, First Congregational, Assembly's Presbyterian and others.” The report of Treasurer D. Fulton Harris fave the total receipts as $576.11; disburse- ments, $576.11, leaving no indebtedness to meet. Secretary's Report. Mr. Harry G. Kimball, recording secre- tary, made a report of his stewardship, as follows: “This year. instead of the extraordinary,-}’ it has been the ordinary that has been oc- cupying our time and thought. The union «s a whole has been steadily pursuing its work along the regular lines laid down for it. We have at times felt the reaction from the great strain of convention year, and yet we can report faithful work, earnest effort and sheaves gathered in for the Lord cf the harvest. “The mass meetings, as arranged, were designed to do the greatest good to the largest number. The officers realized that there were a large number of Endeavorers in the city who, owing to the distance of their homes from our usual places of meect- ing, were not accustomed to go to either the mass meetings or the exccutive com- mittee meetings. It was, therefore, decided that meetings should be helc in different sections of the city with the discussions of practical questions for each locality. “The great subject of missions h: not been neglected. Kev. W. G. Puddefooi of Boston, the field secretary of the Congrega- tional Home Missionary Society, addressed the May meeting on ‘Plenty of Money for Things We Like,’ urging united action in =. tian giving. “This year we have had the committee conferences, which have proved so help- ful in the past, and have found their valu Ss freat as in former years. The busines mectings of the un‘on, the executive com- iittee meetings, have proved very help- ful. “As a rule the executive committee meet- ings have been well attended and have proved a great source of blessing and ‘in- spiration, but can be made better by a larger attendance, and by a greater readi- ness to participate on occasions when there is opportunity given. “Back of ail these meetings have been the meetings of the board of officers, where plans have been formed and programs ar- ranged. {teen times the officers have mei io plan for the good of the cause. It has been a great source of encouragement and help to have so many of our pastors present at our meetings, no less than thirty. one of them having taken part on the pro- grams of our executive committee and mass been the two social gatherings, one by the executive committee to the of the societies and the other in given m of the union and the of the executive committee have both been amended in very important par- ticulars. In the former, the two most worthy of note were the change in the mode of electing the officers of the unjon, and the other the one which has made our pastors members of that committee. The by-laws have been amended so as to con- form to amendments to the constitution ef the union Increrse in Numbers. “There been a slight increase in the number of societies. At the beginning of the year there were eighty-five societies, with a membership of 5,88). “During the year four societies have dis- banded and five new ones been admitted, se of one, which leaves Baptist, 18, with 3 h 383 mem- ors; Congr 1 members.

It is but fair to say that the figures for additions to the church and mi and benevolent offerings represent only vent n of the total eighty-six so- cieties, reports not having been made on this point of the work by the other nine. “The largest number of societies repre- sented by any executive commitice mect- ing was sixty-three, in April and June: the smallest (seventeen) in July, the average being 40.6, or 67% per cent of the possible representation. ‘The report of President Miles M. Shand was a brief review of the part, taken by him in advaacing the interests of the union during his term of office. After ali the reports had been disposed of commendatory remarks were made by Judge Anson 8. Taylor, Mr. Perey 8. Fos- ter snd Rev. Dr. S. H. Greene, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, following which an appropriate hymn was sung by the au- dience. “A Forward Look” was the theme of a very brief address by Rev. C. H. Butler, pastor of Keller Memorial Lutheran Church, and Mr. Grant Leet, the incoming pre Jent of the union. ‘The ushers were Messrs. W. W. Everett, J. E. Lawson and Edward Tarring. and the music was under the direction of the union music committee, Mr. Page L. Zim- merinan, chairman. Reception to New Officers, After the adjournment of the mass meet- ing a reception to the new board of officers and union committees took place in the banguet room. This was tendered by the Endcavorers of the District, and was un- der the auspices of the retiring board and in charge of the correspondence committee, Miss Anna J. Bell, ghairman. The decorations of the room, which were very tasteful, were arranged by a ‘com- mittee composed of Mrs. H. B. Waddey, Miss Ethel E. Foster, Mr. A. Rankin Thornton and Mr. H. B. Waddy. Refreshments were served under the direction of the Misses Fannie E. Adams, Louise Bell, Georgia Turnbull, Geneva Thompson and Mrs. J. E. Dawson.
