eepobt or c. e. coinraixog The Sixth Anual Convention of the Cape May Co. Christian Endeavor Union vras held in the First 1'rcsbytenan Church at Tuekahoe, Tuesday afternoon and evening. May 23d, 1916. The theme of the convention was "Preparedness," and the Bibical text chosen «», "PreP»re ^ thc *** ^ Lord, make Hi. paths straight. Matt. 8-3 each speaker emphasizing the fact that in C. E. work we are simply preparing ourselves for large service, at the aame time paving the way for younger Christiana who arc to follow us. The afternoon session was opened by devotional service led by Miss Josephine Taylor of the Ocean City C. E. The "Billy Sunday" song book was used and several old favorites including "Brighten the Corner" were sung. Miss Taylor read several references for the Bible on "Preparedness" and after a short prayer by our President, Mr. Sbeppard, the convention took up the formal business of the Union. The reports of the Treasurer and Missionary Treasurer were read. The convention was very heartily welocmed by Dr. Copper, pastor of the Baptist Church, of Tuckahoe, to which a response was given by Dr. W. D. McCurdy of this city. He expressed himself of being very glad to have a place upon , the program in order that lie might express his' views upon the subject of Christian Endeavor. He feels that the organized Bible Classes of the Sunday Schools are Uking the place largely of the C E Society in many churches. This is due, he says, in many cases to the fact ttat the older members, of the Societies are not willing to give over the responsibility of khe carrying on of the work to the -younger people. He says that assuredly the Sunday School is the place where young people receive instruction in the Bible and its teachings, but thd, Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor should be the place for practical work and preparation for leadership in the Church. Mr. J. W. Weiss, of Woodbury, who is one of our new State officers next conducted a very helpful Workers' Conference during which he suggested cutting out the committees which are of no .particular use and placing more emphasis on the more important ones. Mr. Weiss gave a new meaning to be attached to the .letters C. E. — Christ Exalted; raised up, before everything else! in the life of every Endeavorer. If we have Christ as our guide and helper wo sue' prepared to go out and do His work. Mr. Weiss -snade an 'earnest appeal for each Endeavorer present to become a member of thc "Quiet Hour" family and at thc close of the Bession many of them did so. After a solo by Mrs. Capper, wife of the Baptist minister, our pastor. Rev. C. O. Bosserman, gave the principal address of the afternoon. He, too, showed that the true idea of Christian Endeavor ia really that Christ should exalt in — youth; personality, society, citizenship and Everybody else's life through us. His address was very forceful and was met with attentive interest. It was the intention of the committee to serve supper in picnic style in one of the groves but owing to the stormy weather the members at tbe convention were very, kindly entertained in the homes of two of the Endeavorers. The evening service was opened with a song service led by T. W. Reeves, of the Cape May Society, followed by Scripture and prayer by Mr. Weiss. At the roll call of the societies the dele gates responded with either a verse of Scripture or, as in the case of the Ocean City Society, a song. The banner which is awarded to the Society having the greatest number of active members present was carried home by the Ocean City Society having "4 per cent present. State President Sproull was the splatter of the evening. His subject was "ftejmredness.* . He emphasised the need young prople have of becoming members of the Tenth Legion, which implies the giving of one tenth of one's income back to Him Who is the Giver of every good and perfect gift. He said that in order to grow, we must Go Right On Working For Our Lord. Jesus Christ. With this address the convention came to a close, to meet next year- in Cold Spring Presljyterian Church.

Autos are being driven through our streets j and especially a little out of the ccnter of .the city at an exceedingly high rate Of speed. Streets are being crossed p and corners turned without any-Hoot of the horn or any slackening of speed. Of course,, there are some exceptions. Life is endangered in Cape May "City. g Twice the writer has come frightfully near being run over. In both cases the y driver was turning a corner and in neither case was there any lessening of the e speed nor blowing of the horn. Dsn it be that there are no laws in New Jersey k prohibiting these things? If there are lf prohibitory laws, have we no offioers in • Cape May City charged with the duty of enforcing these laws? Are laws of le any worth if not enforced? When the pot yields death, as It evin dently must sooner or later, on whom will the responsibility rest? le A CONTRIBUTOR ire You A Temperance Man?!
