Address Before the Y. p. c. e. g.. by the
Rev. Lauriston Reynolds.

The anniversary of the Young Peoples
Society of Christian Endesvor of Congrega
tional church, was observed in Waterville
Sunday evening. Following is an abstract
of the able address of Rev. Lauriston Rey-
holds pastor of the Congregational church
in Yarmouth, who is an earnest and success
full worker in the society.
Our Savior compared the operation of the
Cos pei to the action of the yeast in the full
measure of the meal. From centre by its
own vivifying and reproductive power, it was
to permeate, tighten and reform the whole
mass. The yeast was something different
from the meal, something from without, put
in aud transforming the whole. So the Cos
pei is not of this world, but from above. A
divine, penetrative energy in its warmth and
life, communicating its peculiar SAVIOUR to
that with which it is brought into contact.
The diffusion of q force diminishes its pow
er, but not so with this heavenly leaven. Its
spread is not by the extension of a given
amount, but by fresh creation, constant adj
dtion SO that in diffusion it becomes more
intense, every fresh accession to the forces
of the church becomes a center, from which
the gospel is to be propagated. Not magi-
cally, not of necessity, but from choice, by
endeavor. This endeavor may be individu-
al OF in association. Organization Is help
full Hence the churches. The power of
the Roman church is in its organization. 1t
has stood the progress of civilization. 1t has
held its members in the midst of enlighten-
meut with all the superior merits of protes-
tantism in reach. Not country is now pro-
testant which was not SO two hundred years
ago. This power is the result of its perfect
organization securing the implicit obedience
Of its priests and the submission of its peo-
pie, facing everything at disposal the au-
thorities of the church from the instruc-
ton of the child in the home to the policy of
the church in its attitude towards the great
protestant powers of the world. But as eff
cient as is the Romish church it has been
helped. yea saved, by an organization with
in itself, the order of the Jesuits. AT a
time the protestant reformation bid fair to
become general Ignatius Logola founded this
order of propagandists, every member of
which WAS pledged TO the most absolute
obedience to a superior officer Their zeal
and self denial reformed the church, ami
carried the gospel to other land, SO that In
the new world the church of Rome gained
almost as much as she lost in the old We
have within our protestant churches an organi-
zatiou which has in ii much of promise, the
Young Peoples Society of Christian Endea-
vor. Ii is but seven years next Thursday
since the first of these societies was organ

to be 250. 900 We stand tonight 250,0oo

object of this society is to develope the
christian into the full rounded man in Christ
