Through the young peoples and the
Junior societies multitudes Of boys have
been led to consecrate their lives 10
Christian service. And we expect still
greater things in the future. when the
boys of Christendom, under the banner
inscribed For Christ and the Church, 1"
shall march forth a mighty army,
pledged to truth, to temperance, to
purity, to faith, to personal Christian
loyalty. When these boys become men,

One of the chief blessings of the Chris

tendency. Its constitution and methods
are SO flexible, its spirit SO inclusive, that
the name Christian Endeavor" has been
blessed to the binding together in COM
mon labors of old and young in widely
sundered evangelical bodies. In the in

Comment by Rev. s. II. Doyle.


Comment by Rev. S. II. Doyle.
TOPIC Missionary meeting. Nal. iii, lila.
In the latter part Of the Scripture les
son chosen to illustrate our topic wesee
the children of Israel reproved by the
prophet for corrupting Gods ordinances
and sacrilegiously robbing him of his
dues, with command to them to mend
their ways and promise that if they
did God would again deal beautifully
with them and richly prosper them.
This passage is therefore particularly APP
propriate for missionary meeting, as it
deals with the subject both from mega
tive and positive side, 1t depicts the
evil consequences of an unmissionary
spirit and draws an encouraging picture
of missionary spirit.
/. An unmissionary spirit and its con-
sequences (Mal. iii, 7-g. Here Malachi
charges the Jews with robbing God by
Withholding his tithes and offerings.
They did not pay the Levites and the
priests. They did not in IL and Of the
best make their offerins,- 70 God. The
result was that God cursed then by
sending scarcity and famine upon them.
These Jews well represent the Christian
people today who have no missionary
spirit. God commands them to preach
The gospel to all nations. To do % they
must give of their means, but they with
hold their gifts altogether, or they only
give an insignificant part Of what they
are able to give. In so doing they are
robbing God, because their wealth comes
from Him and really belongs to Hin.
Therefore they may expect Gods ais
pleasure upon them as it was upon the
Jews of old. They may still hear the
voice Of God saying unto them, Eye sre
cursed with q curse, for ye have robbed
Me-" Let all Endeavorers avoid an IN
missionary spirit. Let all fee the evil
consequences Of those who are selfish and
misery in their dealings with God.
2. A missionary spirit and its conse-
-quences (Mal. iii, 10-12). Bat God does
not abandon His backsliding people. he
calls upon them to return and once moro
to give Him His dues, and once more He
will bless them and prosper them abun-
dainty. Bring we all the tithes into the
storehouse, that there may be meat in
Mine house, and prove Ne now herewith,
saith the Lord of hosts, if Twill not open
you the windows of heaven and pour you
out blessing that there shall not be room
enough to receive it," This is Gods
gracious promise. It was made to the
Jews who withheld their money from
Gods work. 1t is still made to all who
have been slack in their giving to his
work. A true missionary spirit is q
blessing to US. 1t brings Gods richest
blessing upon us, and no one is the poorer
for giving literally to God. 1t causes
us to bless for all eternity the unfortu-
mates who have never heard of Christ.
1t fills their hearts with love and graft
tude toward US.

An Excellent idea

If the Christian Endeavor society and
its interests are not remembered in the
midweek prayer meeting of the church,
whose fault is it? An Indiana society
has been greatly helped by appointing
some one each week to attend the mid
week service and offer special prayer for
the Christian Endeavor society.-Chris-
tian EndeaVor Messenger,

The meeting of the Filson Club al
Col. r. T. Durritt's last evening was
the closing one of the season. Rain
kept the attendance from being as
large as it otherwise would have been,
but it was nevertheless good, several
members being present who had never
before attended. The papea of the even
ing was read by Judge French Upton,
of Richmond, from advance pages of
his forthcoming History of Madison
County" His subject was the Dis
cipline of the Early Churches" being
continuation of his paper from the
May meeting. His May paper dealt
with the old Tate's Creek stone meet
ing house, Baptist, founded in 1855,
and showed how members were ex-
cluded for playing ball, wrestling, dan
cling, looking at dancing, playing the
violin, joining Masonic lodges, marry
ing second time-the first wife or
husband still living-and various SIM
liar offenses. Also from the Medthod-
list Church, showing that as early as
1912 it was an abolition Church.
Judge Tipton's paper, last evening
related to old Cane Spring Church,
Baptist, founded in1sO3, demonstrate
ing that a member could not "give a
banter" by announcing that he could
beat another person shooting at a mark
or cutting wood without suffering ex-
pulsion. A couple were excluded for
running away and getting married. A
member who had removed to Missouri
and used profane language in that
country, was expelled from Cane
Spring and SO notified by letter. A sis
ter was excluded for playing thimble
and another for giving company
permission to fiddle and dance in her
house, for sweeting whiskey for them,
and taking an active part in the
fighting"
The records of the First Presbyterian
church in Richmond teemed with ex-
communications for attending theater,
circus, and similar entertainments for
pleading usury, selling whisky, and
failing to attend church. A member
was charged with " trading in ne
groes as merchandise" while still an
other acknowledged that he had sew
eral times been disguised with
liquor" A young minister was tried
for running away with and marrying
a young lady. An entry after lady
members name, who was excluded,
read as follows: strayed from the
sheepfold, and now among the goats,
or Campbellites."
The paper showed that wonderful
revolution had taken place in prevail |
ing ideas of morality and religion,
sincce the olden time when pianos, |
violins and athletics were CHASTITY sins,
and raises the question, where is the
volution to halt ?-Courier Journal. |

The number of those who come to Maine
to establish stock farms affords excellent
evidence of the advantages offered in this
State for such projects. There are several
such establishments in the State on pro-
ftable basis. Among them is one in Al
bien and the owner of the establishment
is George NJ. Crosby who came there from
Massachusetts, few years sgo. He had
wealth and he erected fine buildings and
invested in horse flesh of which any breeder
might well be proud. He nov has about
80 horses.
Among them is i-year-old Morgan horse

CANADA'S LIVESTOCK TRADE.
Losses On Exports-What The CattIemsn
Say About II.

MONTREAL, July l2.-The livestock ex-
porters have been hit pretty heavily this
season. Since the opening of navigation,
series of losses have occurred on most OF
the ocean steamships. and there are no
signs of any change in their luck. Last
week was one of the worst this year. Both
the Liverpool and London markets were
depressed. contrary to all expectations, and
it is calculated that cattle in both these
places lost fully so per head. Despite
the heavy losses, and not withstanding the
pluro- pneumonia scare, the shipments con
tinue heavy.
Regarding the quarantine placed upon
Canadian cattle, it Is a moderate statement
to say that the Montreal cattlemen are IN
dignant at what they term the "alleged'
discovery of pleuro- pneumonia in that
Canadian steer in England. But they add
that they were not surprised. They allege
that they had expected just such action from
the English authorities. Their professed
policy now is to agaitate for the removal of
the quarantine, and, if possible, the tariff
embargoes between Canada and the United
States.
| Mr.. C. Coughlin. while denying that
there was any Heterogeneous among
Canadian cattle, said "What we now
want is free exchange with the United
States. We established quarantine
against the United States because we
thought that we had better position in
England than the American dealers. Now
we are on an equal footing in the English
markets, and there is nothing to be gained
by keeping up the barrier between Canada
and the States.
If we can ship our cattle through the
United States, it will save us from fifteen
to twenty shillings head in freight. and
the farmers will get that advantage -
Besides this" said Mr.. John Grove, the
leading shipper of stockers, 1--WE can get a
market in the United States for 100, 900
stockers that are left on our hands every
autumn. The Americans would be glad 10
buy these animals if the tariff and quasan-
tine embargoes were removed Other
shippers expressed similar views.
