Substantial Growth of the Christian Endeavor Society.

A substantial growth of the Christian Endeavor work in Indiana was shown by the report of the general state secretary, Miss Florence F. Lanham, of Indianapolis, read at the twenty-fifth annual convention of the Endeavor union held last week in Indianapolis. Miss Lanham, who voluntarily resigns the secretaryship this year, has held the office for eight years and has been instrumental in developing the organization. Her report showed a gain of fiftytwo societies and an increase of 2,366 in the membership. There are now 241 societies in the state, representing twenty-five denominations and embracing a membership of 10,512. John J. Morgan, of Indianapolis, treasurer, reported receipts for the year to have been $1,068.92; expenditures, $926.24. Eighteen districts of the union contributed $709.74 for Endeavor work.
