THE LEADER.TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY, GA., THURSD AY, FEBRUARY 28, 1924.
PHRISTIAN CNDEAVOR
UURRENT LVEN TS
Last Friday night the last three
chapters in “Expert Endeavor” were
finished by those who have been
studying this book for the two weeks
and the members of the class know
more about Christian Endeavor and
its works than ever before. On Mon¬
day night they came together again,
at the home of Mrs. Steed on Central
Avenue, to reveiw the whole book
and find out how much they really
had learned. While looking back over
the lessons they had studied they
were at the same time looking for¬
ward to the written examination
which will be taken the middle of
the week. A C. E. E. pin will be
awarded by the president to the
one making the highest grade.
A very interesting missionary pro¬
gram was planned for last Sunday
night, with Miss Catherine Steed as
leader. To represent the condition of
the world filled with darkness and
sin, the church and C. E. room were
in complete darkness. Two verses of
i. Rescue the Perishing” were sung
from memory and at the conclusion
of the leader’s talk a small shaded
light on the piano was flashed on,
this representing the light brought
into the world by Jesus Christ, which
has been continually growing and
spreading since that time. The whole
room was then flooded with light,
as everyone present took part.
All the chairs were placed over to
one side of the room, letting the va¬
cant half represent the half of the
world without the gospel. An object
talk was made by Miss Ruth Smith
and a duet rendered by Miss Mary j
E. Parker and her sister who was |
her from Macon.
Several visitors were present and
the meeting well attended.
I Next Sunday night at 5:45 the
: monthly consecration service will be
held and the topic is one of unusual
j interest. Is there a person in this
world who does not want to be hap
py? Everyone Is seeking . .
but in many different ways. A happy
person is always welcome Laugh
and the world laughs with you.
: Surely by now you have guessed what
; the topic for Christian Endeavor
’ Sunday night will be. “In His
I III. WHAT JESUS SMC ABOUT
i HAPPINESS. Matt. 5: 1-12; John
'15: 11.” Jesus recognizes that the
| pursuit of happiness is legitimate;
the question is how happiness is to
be captured. Try His way.
If T . you wannt . to . be . happy , _________ yourself
an d make us happy meet with us
Sunday night. We are going to have
an experience meeting.

PROPOSAL TO MAKE MILK
NATIONAL DRINK FAVORED
“Resolved that we, the agricultu
I ; Common
ral representatives of the
wea ] tb 0 f the great State of Kansas ’
i do favor and recommend the estab
Irhncnt of milk as a national drink. »»
i Th;.» resolution was adopted at the
J I Kr.r.zas Agricultural Convention held
I early in January at Topeka, Kans.
The convention included
agricultural organizations and offi
: dab of the State.
The resolution was based on the
preamble that “our boys and girls
are the men and women of tomorrow,
and healthy physique is conducive to
good citizenry.” Another basis for
the resolution was recognition that
(he dairy cow is the foster mother
and an important financial support
of the nation.
. 1 Certainly,” Doctor Larson remark¬
ed, “milk is worthy of the distinction
as a national beverage. In addition
j to its high nutritive value and health
| giving properties as a drink, it yields
i other valuable food products, includ¬
( : ing butter, cheese, ice cream, milk
( powder, and condensed milk. Its by¬
products enter into the manufacture
■ of almost countless products. The
: widespread distribution of dairying
in every state and its growth in our
island possessions also appear to
! warrant the selection of milk as a
national drink. *)
!
j A world crop and market report
' been developed by
ing service has the
! Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
united States Department of Agri¬
culture, to collect, summarize, and
interpret demand and competition in
foreign markets. The news is flashed
out by radio and telegraph, so that
the farmer may know as soon as the
trader the size or condition of crops
-.in other parts of the world.
