About forty Chinese gathered and listened with the utmost
interest, as you could see by their very earnest faces and close
attention. We plan to have these services regularly if Gin Foo King can be
continued with us. The longer I work with these people the more my heart
goes out to them in their sad condition, out of Christ."

MISS D. E. EMERSON, SECRETARY.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR IN THE BLACK BELT.
BY C. E. L.
One hundred and twenty-five happy black faces with eager eyes and
glistening white teeth; one hundred and twenty-five little boys and girls
marching into the schoolroom to go forth as Junior Endeavorers; thus began
our society this morning.
How anxious we were to have the very best one of our number for president,
and to choose wisely the lookout committee and the prayer-meeting
committee! For a whole week we had been thinking just whom we would
choose. The neatest and most careful writer was chosen secretary, the best
singers were placed on the music committee, those whose mothers have
beautiful gardens were placed on the flower committee; five of the very
cheeriest of all these cheerful boys and girls make up the sunshine
committee. Perhaps these children do not yet understand clearly the duties
of the various officers, but the organization means something to them, and
they are very careful not to do things unworthy of Christian Endeavorers.
