The Norwich Christian Endeavor union held its semi-annual meeting Friday afternoon and evening at the Preston chapel on the East Side with an attendance which taxed the ca- pacity of the hall. Vice President George F. Hyde presided at the meet- ing which opened at 4 o’clock and Rev. | Clarence E. Barber and Mr. Hyde of- fered prayer. There was a short de- votional service. Aggressive Christian Endeavor was the general topic for the meeting. gk s Miss Anna B. Storms in behalf of the Preston society extended a warm welcome to the visitors, the maority of whom were from the surrounding towns. Vice President Hyde respond- ed. speaking of the great good which could come from association of those deeply interested in the Christian En- deavor work. The Bible, prayer and activity are the three necessities, he said in the life of the Christian En- deavorer. We cannot grow physically without exercise, activity and the same is true spiritually. A little activity each day leads us to the ability to do better and more work the next day. Let us work then that we may grow, and the more we work the more we will get out of it. If today we have any feeling of a duty to be performed along the line of Christian Endeavor | work, let us respond in action and not in thoughts only and we will go back home sirengthened and helped. In Church L Miss C. R. White of Norwich Town read an interesting paper on Christian BEndeavor in Church Life, saying in part: One may oftentimes be so en- grossed in the work of the Christian Endeavor society that the work of the is overlooked. The Christian Endeavor is not the church, it dues not it is a part of the church. It is in, of and for the church. If one takes up his part in the church he will find that it is just as much a pleasure as the work of ‘the society. The Christian Endeavor is a training school of the church, giving the young people their first ex- perience in Christian work. Every persdn in the society is being trained for leadership in some Christian work. The society is training its members for work in the church. i The C. E. society can assist at the church Sunday activities, at the mid- week services. The society should co- operate and stand back of the pastor, trying to lift his load and lighten it. What we need today is trained En- deavorers, ready to do and to dare and to die in the service of Christ ang His church. in the Community. Christian Endeavor in the Commu- nity wae the topic of the paper b Charles T. Armstrong of Jewett Cit Mr. Armstrong spoke of the society as effecting the three sides of the life of a2 community—physical, moral and spiritual life. The society, he said, must be alive, on the lookout for op- portunity to do work, not confining its efforts to the meeting place. It should give its members work to do which will keep their minds in the right channels. The pledge of the Christian Endeavorer brings the Bible into every day use in the homes and the homes make up the community.
