The young people's society at Santee has been a training school for its members. It has broadened their feeling of Christian fellowship with the great army of fellow Endeavorers. It has given them songs that they enjoy very much. It has increased their interest in missions and deepened their feeling of responsibility for service to the Master.
The junior work at Santee has been especially encouraging among the girls, who are rather more responsive than the boys. Of the twelve little girls in the picture, one died last year, but eight are now members of the senior society.
In the monthly meetings of the Mothers' Society of Christian Endeavor many questions are asked and answered concerning the care and training of children, and the children are remembered in prayer.
One thing, at least, these Christian Endeavor Societies have done. They have emphasized the idea of endeavor and service. It expresses itself in the use of a new word, or rather the use of an old word a thousand times where it was used once before. The name in Dakota means "The society of those who want to work for Jesus," and "working for Jesus" has become a more prominent thought in all their religious life.
