The California Christian Endeavorers
The California Christian Endeavorers, according to the California C. E. Union, edited by the secretary, Rev. Francis W. Reid, have put forth especial effort during this year in behalf of Sunday. California still holds “the Lord’s day banner,” given at the great convention last year for work in Sunday reform. The “credits” at that time were 5,353; this year they are 7,876, earned as follows: “Endeavor meetings having Sunday reform for special topic, 855; church prayer-meetings, 28; Sunday-school sessions, 433; Lord’s day committees additional to the 348 organized last year, 5; sermons, 132; Sabbath observance columns in papers, additional to 20 of last year, 2; literature distributed, 25,000 leaflets; bicycle pledges, 105 names; canvasses for Sunday closing, 10 (successful, 7); mass-meetings, 26; total credits earned from work reported, 7,876.” It is too bad that so much good energy is wasted on an erroneous sabbath in opposition to the Word of the Gospel.
