senior Christian Endeavor.

In what sphere can the senior depart
ment be of use? 1t can make the mid
week services of the church its special
solicitude. 1t ought to do this without
any accompaniment of machinery. Hold
ing its meetings for business only, at
other times its members can go to this
service as any one else goes. and then
unostentatiously but persistently apply
the principles of the Christian Endeavor
pledge to the opportunity of the hour.
Where this is wisely done the seniors
will not excite jealousies and antago-
nisms, but will create for themselves a
welcome.
Beyond this special service it is not too
much to hope and predict that the church,
es viii gradually welcome the applica-
ton of Christian Endeayor principles
to all their activities. These principles
underlie all Christian work and by the
force of their inherent reasonableness
have the right of general application.
Our missionary women have realized the
wisdom of reducing their organizations
-one for foreign and the other for home
work-into one organization, working at
will in either direction, and the day
draws Oh apace when the church will
foster the Christian Endeavor society as
a central organization. subordinate to it
self and will do through 1t its manifold
work -Golden Rule.

.jo.ce," fe.lowshipin sorrow. " eep with
them that weep fellowship III burden
bearing, Bear yc one another's bur-
dens." As Christian people arc Il unite
il sorrow, JOY and burden bearing, so
there is 10 be cooperation in labor-fel-
lowship in work
/. An illustration Of fellowship in
work (Acts xviii, 81. Departing from
Athens. Paul has come to Corinth. Here
he becomes acquainted with Aquila.
who had lately come from Rome because
Of the persecution of Claudius. Aquila
was a tentnaker by trade, and so was
Paul; therefore they abode together that
they might ply their trade together-fel-
lowship in work. 1t was natural and
pleasant thing for them to do, and their
experience is often repeated. Men of the
same trade work together. This was
fellowship in physical labor. but there
should also be fellowship in spiritual
labor. Christ commended such fellow
ship, for He sent out the disciples not
alone. but two by two. Paul always had
companion with him in his travels for
upbuilding Christs kingdom. Such ex-
aInples may well be emulated. There is
much that is pleasant and beneficial in
work of such character.
2. Fellowshipin work-how made pos
sible John xvii. 2D? This inquiry may
be answered by one sentence: Union
with Christ. In the reference quoted
Christ is praying for the disciples just
before His crucifxion. He prays that
they may all be one. as Thou, Father, art
in Ne and | in Thee; that they may be
also one with Us" Union with Christis
to successful individual work.
AS the branch cannot bear fruit of it
self except it abide in the vine. no more
can We except We abide in Me-" If each
of the Christian church or COM
munity or organization abide in Christ,
then they can work proftably and sue
together not only as colaborers,

personal union with Christ
here cannot be this fellowship in work.
3. The result Of Christian fellowship
N work John xvii. 2D. 1t commends
Christianity to men of the world and
Influences many to believe on Christ.
Unity always adds strength. Division
ldds weakness. If there was more union
# views, of affections and efforts among
he disciples of Christ today. it would
urnish increasing evidence of the divine
'xcellence of His religion and lead in
reasing numbers to embraceit. Let us
rave. therefore. more fellowship in
work..

The good effect Of the battle of No

tory of patriotism and enlightened self
interest in this country, over pluto
cracy and blind selfishness, the good
and over-taxed people Of Canada are
now waging the same war against
protection" and greed that was waged
here last year. The Manitoba and
northwestern members of the Cana
dian parliament have agreed unani-
mously to support Mr. Davin's motion
to put barbed wire. farm implements,
binder Irvine. coal oil and cotton on the
free list Many heretofore conserva-
tive members and papers have come
out against protection But perhaps
the most significant thing of all is the
action of the Central Farmers insti-
tute at its annual convention, which
has just closed in Toronto They passed
unanimously the following compre-
hensive resolution. which explains it,

That, whereas, the farmers OF Can-
ada, during the last thirteen years,
have largely supported a protective
policy for the purpose of establishing
and building up the manufacturing in.
terests OF this country; and, whereas,
such manufacturing industries as are
suitable for this country have received
such assistance for a period long enough
to enable them now to Withstand fair
and open competition; and. whereas.

determination to support and perpetu-
ate the high tariff policy; be 1t, there

aud perpetuate such high tariff policy

privilege to foreign countries that will

Let us become part OF that great
