Smith of Buffalo, president of the New York State Christian Endeavor Union, and his fellow officers. "Young people in the Christian churches can well concentrate on a vital program for their work, instead of giving too much thought to the possibilities of a war that will drag them in.". Explains Herbert Reich, one of the president's young associates: "War can destroy ideals and ambitions, and we want to offset its influence with constructive measures." So more than 60,000 Christian En deavor members in the 1,500 societies of New York City Protestant churches are being asked to follow through the seven points of a new program of Christian action. The objectives: 1. Teach youth how to pray and how to play. 2. Build characters that will ac cept individual responsibility. 3. Work for better city and state government. 4. Stand against the evils of drink ing and gamoiing. 5. EmDhasize the obligation of the individual to the local church. 6. Recognize the spiritual prin ciple of church finance, through tithing. 7. Reaffirm belief in prayer and definite application of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to daily life An aim of the Christian Endeavor program in New York State, as inter preted by President Smith, has been to show that the society of young people is part of the local church and denomination with which it is affiliated and owes its first loyalties there. The New York State societies have been particularly active m evangelism and in reaching young people with the challenge of a full time career in religious work. State C. E. Rashes At its recent meeting the state board of the Nebraska Christian En deavor Union elected Rolland H. Osborne cf Kearney, president to fill the unexpired term of Harold Alber. Harold has taken up business in Shenandoah, Iowa. The Nebraska Christian Endeavor Union i3 indeed sorry that Harold has to leave the state. He will, however, be retained as a member of the state board. With him go the unions best wishes for his future success and happiness. Mr. Osborne has begun his new work and Christian Endcavorcrs in Ne braska can look forward under 1m leadership. It was also decided at this meet ing, that the state union headquar ters would be moved from Lincoln to Kearney. The state union office i3 now located in the Fort Kearney bank building in Kearney. It was decided that a financial campaign to raise half of the union budget be car ried on during the month of March. The 1940 state Christian Endeavor convention is to be held in Hastings with Fremont, Holdrege and Lincoln as alternates. It was suggested that the date of" the convention be Sep tember 20, 21 and 22.

Others followed in rapid succession as the city dweller regaled her country sister with some spicy gossip. Her neighbor had Just told her over the backyard fence, she said, that Mary was picked up by a mar ried man on a certain street corner in front of a certain store every night after school from Monday through Friday. Hashed and re-hashed, the story grew apace, and more vicious false hoods sprang up about Mary as the eavesdroppers talked in their turn. Soon Mary and her mother, both hysterical, came into court and re lated some of the tales that were be ing circulated. We tried to pacify them by saying that scand.al-guzzlers are the types of persons who in olden days were burned at the stake as witches; that an untruth dies quick ly, whereas truth lives on. Further, we advised them simply to ignore the matter; not even to deny the charges that were being uttered. The mountain of talk reached other heights. Then the wife of the man involved also appeared in court. With a look in her eye and a tone in her voice that indicated she meant exactly what she said, she informed us: "If the gossip-mongers are not immediately stopped, I will teach all gossips a lesson by making an ex ample of these two sisters who have March 7, at S o'clock at the Presby terian church. Three members were present. Business transacted was: First probable leaders for the Easter sunrise service were named. A mem ber of the council was assigned the task of seeing them. It was decided that the newspaper column "Chris tian Youth in Action" be put injo effect. After the first time it is to appear every Thursday. The Win My Chum Week plar.3 were presented and approved. Announcement of them will be made at a later date. It was agreed that it would be better to choose committees as there was the need for time. In this way a variety of parti: ipants would be as sured. A communication was received from the Methodist Epworth League to the effect that they had ratified the Christian Youth Union constitu tion. Summer meetings from July 14 to August 25 will be union meet ings. Material for future meetings was to be investigated. The meeting adjourned, it being agreed that a special meeting be held next Tuesday, March 12. All members are urged to be present. Notices Christian Youth Council to have special meeting Tuesday, March 12 at 7:30 o'clock at the Methodist church. This is an important meet ing. Win My Chum Week to be held March 17 to 24. Further announce ments later. Easter sunrise service to be held March 24. Breakfast to be served at the Methodist church following the service. The Methodist church has set as one of its six major objectives the enlistment of youth as followers of Jesus. To make this possible the young people's work must be made more vital. We must endeavor to develop a youth organization with a Chris tian purpose that will give direction and meaning to life, and gives to young people a sense of personal value and importance that comes from taking part in good work.. The meeting in Lincoln put all the em phasis on evangelism, all organiz ations -within the church must de velop a wider virion and have a greater outreach seeking to win oth ers to a commitment to Jesun Chrict. During these next two weeks our church will have services. Pcginning Sunday evening the great picture "King of Kings" will be shown; all young people should see this, it will be effective in deepening our appre ciation cf Passion Week.

I know how to use my husband's service pistol, which he carried through the war trenches of France." With her we could not reason. Quietly then, because of the ser iousness and the possible tragedy that might ensue, we set about to find cut the truth. We learned that the married man was Mary's uncle, who met her every night after school to take her to the home of a sister five miles in the country, where Mary helped care for a new-born baby whose mother was bedfast. For her work Mary was paid $3.00 per week a wage she needed badly for school clothes. When all the facts had been es tablished, they were included in typewritten report and presently de Iivered in persoii by the ex-service man s wife to the original gossip crs. Rumor has it that the erring ones apologized on bended knees while looking straight into the barrel of the pistol that knew the muddy trenches of France. At a Fourth of July celebration some months later, the judge asked the wife of the ex-service man if the incident of the pistol was true. She merely smiled and countered, "What do you think?"
