FACTS ABOUT CHRISTIAN
ENDEAVOR
I find as we go about doing
Christian Endeavor work that
many people have a vague idea
of the actual principles of Chris-
tian Endeavor yet have a hesi-
tancy to ask the necessary ques
tions to be informed So essen-
tial is the need of Christian En-
deavor in the world today and
so essential is it that more peo
pie become familiar with at least
the fundamentals of this great
organization I am presenting be-
low a few of the facts concern-
ing Christian Endeavor that ev
ery member of the organization
is familiar with and that are
well worth the attention of all
outside the organization
Christian Endeavor was or-
ganized by Rev Francis E
Clark on the evening of Febru-
ary 2 1881 in the Williston Con-
gregational Church of Portland
Maine as the outgrowth of a
long felt need for an organiza-
tion where the young people
could learn to express themsel-
ves in public and one which
would be a training school for
future workers and officers of
the church It was eight months
from that time until the second
society made its appearance in
Newberryport Mass In the
40 years following the organi-
zation spread into every corner
of the globe and now has a mem-
bership of over 4000000 It is
the largest organization of its
kind in the world
World headquarters are loca-
ted in Boston Mass and it is
here also that the society’s own
paper “The Christian Endeav-
or World” is published
Rev Francis E Clark the
founder of the society is today
one of its most enthusiastic
workers He has just recently
returned from a tour among the
societies of Europe and particul-
arly among those of the war
zone The societies there thou
naturally crippled to some ex-
tent as a result of the war are
We now have in our employ Mr Henry Eickhorn
who has charge of the mechanical part of the Garage
Mr Eickhorn is a thoroughly competent mechanic
having spent the greater part of his life to this work
alone He is not only an experienced man from actual
work but has graduated from three of the best Automo-
bile Schools in the U S A All work done in this garage
will be strictly firstclass and guaranteed to give satisfaction
Our new shop is now practically finished and we ex-
tend an invitation to all to come in and see the method
in which their work will be taken care of

doing wonderful work and the
evidence of their activities is
now being felt more than ever
before Dr Clark is going to
Mexico the middle of March and
upon his return will make one
stop in Oklahoma speaking to
his hundreds of friends in Okla
homa City on April 3rd and it is
expected that people from all ov-
er Oklahoma will journey to Ok-
lahoma to listen to this splendid
consecrated man of God
Christian Endeavor is inter-
denominational" This was the
chief criticism offered to the
early society People were in-
clined to- think it would fail on
those grounds hut it is now
found in over 80 evangelical de-
nominations Christian Endea-
vor stands for loyalty to the
church and it has proven by the
enormous growth of the society
that it is possible to work in
connection with all protestant
organizations and still support
the individual member’s church
The national society’s program
works in harmony with the pro-
gram of the church
The National society is divi-
ded into 48 sub-divisions or one
for each state with a complete
set of officers The states are
then divided into various num-
ber of districts (Oklahoma hav-
ing 17 districts) each district is
then naturally composed of in-
dividual societies existing with-
in the boundary lines of that dis-
trict 'By this method of gov-
ernment it is easy to bring any
matter before the local societies
Grove has one Senior Christian
Endeavor Society in the Chris-
tian church of which Miss Mel-
wine Cale is President and we
are a part of Vinita District
which is composed of four coun-
ties viz: Craig Ottawa Mays
and Delaware with Mr Clarence
Emmons of Vinita as President
Our 31st annual State Conven-
tion is to be held in Oklahoma
June 6 7 8 9 1921 when 2000
delegates are expected to at-
tend this being termed as our
“Best Yet” State Convention
mM§f§§im§§§i
Very truly yours
Grove Oklahoma
No doubt many delegates will
go from Grove C E and at least
50 from the entire district
The principles of Christian
Endeavor are summed up by A
R Wells an authority on the
subject as follows:
“Definite standards of
service and definite com-
mitment to those standards
Open confession of Christ
and speaking for Him ac-
cording to ability and op-
portunity The cultivation
of the devotional life by
regular prayer and Bible
study Training for Chris-
tian service by ft variety of
committee work Loyalty
to the church and regular
attendance upon the church
services General giving to
Christian work Christian
- citizenship Interdenomin-
ational fellowship and the
promotion of peace and
good will among the nations
of the world”
Oklahoma Christian Endeav
or has adopted a slogan “Three
Christian Endeavor Societies'
in every church and it is our
aim to organize a Junior Inter-
mediate and Senior Christian
Endeavor Society in every
church where at all possible

listened with great interest to
her address
Mrs Swain is a distinguished
woman and is known far and
wide in Eastern Star work
Two candidates Mrs E B

freshments consisting of two
courses were partaken of

The Tulsa World recently had
the following to say about a for-
mer Grove girl: “Lucile Thom-
ason leading lady who takes
the part of Princess Helen has
been doing some of the best
work of the cast in rehearsals
Miss Thomason has an emotion-
al and very difficult part She
sings several songs during the
performance being a soprano of
rare ability She recently won
the second prize for singing in
the state of Oklahoma among
high school students”
Lucile is the daughter of Mr
and Mrs J D Thomason form-
er Grove citizens It will be re-
membered that Mr Thomason
was County Treasurer of Dela-
ware Co two terms
Since we printed last week’s
paper Delaware County has re-
ceived three very fine warm
spring rains no cold snaps fol-
lowing and the farmers say it
is the best oat growing weather
they ever saw in their life We
have had spring all winter -
the better That waa six year ago
and I am still here and am a well
strong woman and I owe my life to
Cardul I had only taken half tbs
bottle when I began to feel better
The misery In my side got less 1
continued right on taking the Cardul
until I had taken three bottles and I
did not need any more for I waa well
and never felt better In my life I
have never had any trouble from that
day to this"
Do you suffer1 from headache back-

forts each month? Or do you feel
weak nervous and fagged-out? If so
