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. The societies in our churches and schools of South Carolina are doing a good work in Christian Endeavor. The Endeavor spirit is alive at Avery Institute and Plymouth Church, Charleston. Christian Endeavor Hall, at Dorchester Academy, McIntosh, Ga., was built by the gifts of Northern Endeavorers. This school, with its church and Endeavor societies, is located in Liberty County, in the black belt of southeast Georgia. This is one of the most needy sections of darkest America. The American Missionary Association has done a noble work of uplifting in their behalf. * * * * * Obituary.
