LOCAL UNION OF CHRISTIAN EsDEAyoR.
The basis Of the local union is Low.
atty to and work for Christ, but
christian Endeavor" has grown TO
mean at least three definite things-the
pledge, the conservation meeting and
interdenominational fellowship. "You
must adopt not only our principles, but
our name. To admit into the Union
societies that have neither the same
pledge nor the same principles would
be to admit the seeds Of disintegration
that must produce their fruit" There
is no principle Of exclusiYeness about
this local union. Our Sunday school
associations are not formed Of kinder.
garten and collegiate institutes. The
lnterdenominational fellowship Of the
local union work will be the means of
broadening lives and making our Young
people more useful instruments for God
70 work through in drawing all men un.
to Him. We cannot live unto ourselves
and please God The minrling with
others will make us love our own church
the more; and may God speed the day
when every church may have its Chris.
tlan Endeayor Society. The work of
the local union is not substitute for
that OF any individual or society; and
It IS Of the utmost Importance to under.
stand what things belong, and what
things do not belong, TO the work of the
union. All Endeayorers, and friends of
the Christian Endeayor movement. or
any one desiring to know something of
the work, are urged TO attend the local
uLion annual meeting, to be held in the
Church Of the Redecmer on the evening
Of the 18th, when most excellent adj.
dresses will be delivered by the state
president and vice-prcsident; the work

Come with US and enjoy delightful
evening.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVoR KERNELS.
You don't have TO give up anything
good for Christ; but all to Him.
The richest shareholder is he who
shares most of his fellows trouble and
grief.
The pledge is like money; the surest
way to keep it is to use 1t.
Religion is perpetual motion for
Christ; not perpetual emotion.
You a.e never wholly consecra.ed ms
long as there is a tiHger-nail thai has
not been taught to button some one
else's buttons.
Our rest, like Gods, is sweetest when
we labor with him 10 give others true
rest.
Don't fear being an extremist any
where inside the Ten Commandments.
