LIVE CHURCH.
No society Of young Christians by WORD or
deed ever showed greater loyalty 10 the
church than this one.
An old Spartan teacher once TOOK oea1
bodv before his pupils and set IL upon It's
feet and IL toppled over. Then he set 1t
mn AGAIN and It toppled another way. Then
tnrniug TO his students he said, some
thing is wanting; it lacks something" IL
was life il lacked. Spiritual life is what
the vouug peoDle lacked before this move
ment came. If we can renew our youth
and Get them into the church the old churcn
will renew its youth. This movement Is
'snew chapter in church history"
The Christian Endeavor movement 9e-
yeloOes Young men and women. Before St'
Cloud. a suburb of Paris, there was a mill
tarv school. where a company OF boys
trained day after day, aud one OF them was
a little Corsicau. They used TO carry nag
along with them On which was written
sTremble; we are growing up The peo-
ple laughed at them, but the boys kept on
AZ their drills, until at last the day came
when the little Corsican, with the Imperial
Guards, the old school OF St Cloud, stood
on the open square in the front OF the Hotel
Des Invalides. Before them was mob,
ten fold worse than what gathered
in that same city week ago.
The little Corsisn had grown up.

and women of Paris went down like grain

guards were drilled. What a difference
between the Christian mob that has been
working for over 1890 years without train

head Of our armyl West Point graduates.
II is not enough to have merely the cap
tains and generals of Gods army drilled
and educated. To keep abreast with the
times and do efficient work, the rank and
file must be trained. The Christian En-
deavor Society is a school for training and
developing young people in Chrlsts work.
The Christian Endeavor movement gives
woman her proper place in Christ's work.
This Society gives woman an opportunity
10 speak for herself IL opens up avenues
for Young women to do efficient work for
the Master. She stands on an equality with
man in this Society and has been just as
efficient in her work. no.

men here, so ia all our religious gatherings

and enter the saloons and gambling oens OF
our city and the men there will outnumoer
the women a hundredfold. II the women
all grow into old maids it will be simply be-
cause there are

When the Savior came into the world he
came not as the realization of the mascu-
line type merely. He did pot come as
Samson or Hercules, but like Jonathan,
with a love and touch as delicate
as a woman's. The union OF masculine
qualities and womanly graces makes him
the ideal man of the ages. We want TINS
union In the church OF to-day. This move
ment impresses its members with the ne
cessitv of being loyal to their own church,
of taking a deep interest in the benevolent
and missionary work of the church, otgiv-
inc of their means TO the authorized boards
of their own church, TO send the gospel Tar
over the seas to those who are living and
diving without a knowledge Of Christ and
and his salvation.
~ think. as | look into the faces Of these
soldiers of the cross. that there are here as
loyal hearts as ever beat under coats OF
blue,-loyal TO our country, loyal to the
church, and loyal to the Lord Jesus Christ.
