GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS

of tine Pennsylvania Societies of Christian
Endeavor at the Fourth Avenue Baptist
Church.
The meetings began on Wednesday even
ing and closed last evening. The DIS
PATCH has daily furnished full accounts of
these meetings, so that it would be work
of superorogation TO enter into details. The
sessions of the Endeavorers have been char
acterized by enthusiasm from beginning to
end. There has been no religious move
ment in modern times which has yielded
larger results in as short time as this move
ment of Christian Endeavor. In life of
almost four years it has gathered close to
three-quarters of million of the young ele-
ment OF the evangelical churches of the land
into societies which have for their main OBJ
ject the strengthening of the church by
utilizing the young element
One of the weak points in Protestant
churches has been the failure to hold the
young men. The Christian Endeavor
Society has so far done grand work in keep
ing the young men in line of Christian
activity and furnishing them opportunities
for the exercise of their gifts. The society
works in harmony with the church, and has
SO far proved a mighty help to regular
church work. With the same progress in
the future as in the past, the Christian En-
deavor societies will prove one of the might
est instrumentalities for the propagation of
Christianity which the church has ever de-
veloped.

week will be the Young Mems Christian
