the
schools and colleges of Washington, became members of the Lincoln
Memorial Endeavor Society. They have since gone out as ministers,
teachers, physicians, lawyers, business men and home makers, carrying
with them the Endeavor spirit throughout the South.

The Christian Endeavor movement in many of our churches in the South
has felt the impulse of this mother society in Washington. There are
now Christian Endeavor Societies in the four Congregational churches
under the American Missionary Association in the District of
Columbia: Lincoln Memorial, Plymouth, The People's, and University
Park Temple. Their pastors, Rev. Messrs, A. P. Miller, A. C. Garner,
T. M. Nixon and S. N. Brown are all wide-awake Christian Endeavorers.

The Christian Endeavor spirit is felt in all our American Missionary
churches in North Carolina from King's Mountain on the West to
Beaufort-by-the sea. In the summer of 1898 an active campaign of
Christian Endeavor was carried on at Fort Macon, on the Atlantic
Coast, among the colored soldiers of the Third North Carolina
volunteer regiment.

The Field Missionary of the American Missionary Association was aided
in this service by Pastor Newkirk, of Beaufort, and other Christian
workers. Over two hundred of the colored boys in blue enlisted, under
the banner of the Cross, in the army of the Lord.

Sergeant Eaves, a member of the Christian Endeavor Society of our
Lincoln Academy at King's Mountain, was active in Christian work
among his comrades. Secretary Baer, of the United Society of
Endeavor, sent large supplies of the _Christian Endeavor World_ and
literature to us for distribution among the colored soldiers. Mr.
Moody also sent supplies of books for the soldiers which greatly
aided us in our Gospel work for their behalf.

The society at Lincoln Academy, under Miss Lillian Cathcart's
direction, has been a power for good not only in the needy region of
King's Mountain, but throughout the old North State. The society at
the Joseph K. Brick School at Enfield, N. C., under the lead of Prof.
T. S. Inborden, is reaching a large number of youth at this country
place, who in turn carry its spirit and work into their country
communities and homes.

Aggressive Christian Endeavor work is carried on not only in large
centers of population like Raleigh, Charlotte and Wilmington, but
also in country places like Troy, McLeansville and King's Mountain.
