ON THE MISSION or THE y.P.s C. l.

ON THE MISSION OF THE ". Il. 4. G. l.
| think its chief mission, to quote
another ITO cure the disease, common
in so many churches, called suspended
animation churches in which gloomy,
ssd-looking people sit in gloomy silence
aud listen To long-sct sermons by long
winded deacons, and to the most doleful
and rigid prayers and suppications from
the most miserable sinners in the world"
viii not the movement have accom-
plished a worthy end when IL has sue
ceeded In this, and does any keen. un-
prejudiced observer deny that the Y. p.
). c. +. is doing just that? Now know
that consecrated young lives banded to-
gether in our Masters name, with their
youthful zeal and high aspirations, can
completely revolutionze such congrega-
tions as the one cited. Another purpose,
probably not OF less importance, is its aim
to instil into the hearts and minds OF
professed Christian young people higher
sense Of their personal loyalty and
obedience to our Lord.
There is sympathetic tendency exist
ing between young people which cannot
be met and satisfied by association in
religious assembly where older people
have the responsibility and leadership.
In our prayer meetings we exhort to and
encourage one another to more righteous,
conscientious lives, and there we mingle
our prayers together. 1t is good to be
there. viii you join our army? lone Is
our Master; even Christ and all we are
bretheren."
Come to the Territorial Convention in
this city the first week in June and test
our hospitality, and SEQ il there can any
good thing come ont OF Guthrie

THE SPIRIT.

No element needs to be so closely
watched in Christian Endeavor prayer
meeting as does the spirit of the meeting.
IL the spiritual interest grows cold, soon
all there is worth the having In the meet
ing will be gone. Not by might nor by
power but by my spirit saith the Lord.
A prayerful {. +. was never known To
fail. Dear soldier in the army of Jesus
Christ, are you praying always lest you
enter into temptation, The Endeavorers
OF Guthrie are praying that the Holy
Spirit may guide and keep the great con-
yentlon and working In the hearts OF the
members to a great work for our terri
tory.
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1894-05-22
NO TIME.

You must take time to serve the Lord
for He demands it. Take time and come
to this convention, you will never regret
1t. We may never again see our beloved
Dr. Clark, though We hope he will be
with us often. Only once in lifetime is
such an opportunity presented, Dear
young friends, work hard until the con-
yention and then leave your work and
come and spend few days with us. The
Endeavorers of the city will be expected
to attend all the sessions Of the conven-
ton and make their business conform
to II.
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1894-05-22

soon, while even pleasure grows insiped
and pain intolerable If they are protracted
beyond the limits of reason and conven-
ience. Learn to be short; lop off branches;
stick to the main fact in your case. II
you pray, ask for what you need and get
through; II you speak, tell your message
and hold your peace; boil down two
sentences into one, and three words into
two. Always, when practable, avoid
lengthiness- -learn to be short.
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1894-05-22
OUR FUTURE PER >ONALLY AND AS
SOCIETY.

An old maxim taught, while yet in early
years, that three things are necessary TO
ones advancement, will come into good
play right here, and it reads thus:
Patience, perseverance and pluck win
the prize" Only too many fall short OF
one or all of the above, and whether it be
in our everyday life OF in work for the
Master, IL we work with great patience,
mach perseverance and have the pluck in
us to stir all those around us, such work
will count and mlsi cd be done for
Christ and the church IN years to come,
and also, what ever we do other than
work for Christ, the same Will be shown.
"Aim high" and with purpose before
you, and your own personal work will be
successful. Not one Of us can tell what
the future has in store, either personally
or as society" and therefore be II well
that we work, for we know not at what
hour the Son OF Man cometh.
None can tell what they can do TIL they
Try, and often we surprise ourselves
when through with these undertakings
and look back over them as "things OF
the past"
DIR. Clark didn't know, when he organ
lied the first G.. Il. society that such a
large congregation OF young people would
take up with this grand work and move
It along as they did, but he made the
effort and started and now look at the
result. Hundreds of young people coming
to Christ each year is result OF the
f,.t faa of to M "A :
It did with those few who met for the first
time, and looked forward with earnest
ness to time when they could see the
result Of their work and have IL be seen
by the world without having to tell IL tC
them.
Let us ce true to ourselves, true to ouI
work, and above all, true to our God
God has placed this great work in front
Of US and II is for rs to say whether II
viii be as successful in the future as il
has been In the past and is at present.
The question may arise. "What are w
t. provide?n Some may say "a king
DOM" but, dear reader, stop one moment
and think. The Kingdom is provided
our duty is TO inherit place in tina
Kingdom, by the help of God, not onl!
for ourselves, our society, but try TO SHOW
those who are out of Christ, there is room
also.
Let us by earnest prayer have the KIM
place us in this royal succession In such
way that others may see our good work
aud Clarity our Father in Heaven.
In addition to the above maxim let u
add Faith In Christ"
What mighty word faith" is. Sit
ting here amid the many dscouragment
which daily befall each and every one
how much comfort comes to ms when W

world we possess some Of the Qualiti,
necessary TO do this while we are yet o

GODS TIME,

We want TO make this Gods time.
Dear delegate, give yourself to the Lord
and then come to the convention and ask
God 10 use you as lie will In his own good
time; use you to his glory. God has pro-
missed to give his time and be with us.
Can you not afford to give your time to
God. Many of us have been praying that
God would make the convention his own
harvest time and gather In souls for his
Kingdom.

How much do you care for your school,
superintendent? A superintendent OF our
acquaintance, one OF the most prominent
business men OF the city In which he lives,
reached home late one Saturday night to
find that his buildings and stock had been
swept away that day by fire, and thathI:
actual money loss would probably amount
TO tens OF thousands OF dollars. The next
morning hn was at Sunday school ten
minutes before the time for opening
greeting the children with bright face
and cheerful words. Could you have
done IL?

June 3.
Arrangements are being made on the
largest scale for this convention. The
Enleavors OF Guthrie are thorough,
alive to the task. Every society in the
city is doing its utmost. There is a real
revival of the spirit in the city and those
who have heretofore been comparatively
inactive, are now at work.
The very best program ever pres nted
at any OF the conventions has been pre-
pared. AT no convention before were we
ever able TO present so brilliant an array
Of consecrated talent. Every speaker.
from beginning to end, is leader in the
work

from as high as twenty-six who expect to
attend. Between two and three hundred
delegates are expected. You cannot af-
ford to miss this meeting.
The young people OF Guthrie and of
many societies outside of the city have
been praying especially for this one thing
that the Holy spirit may visit the con
vention with mighty power. Dear reader,
it is for this we pray. viii you not pray
with us? We must make this the most
spiritual convention OF them all. Come
expecting Gods blessing and determined
to receive it.
All railroads have granted rate of one
and one-third fare for the round trip to
Guthrie and return.
4 grand choir Of twenty-four voices is
preparing for the convention and will
sing some Of the anthems from the or; =
torios by Mendelssohn, Rossin and
HAYDN.
The object of this convention is to
awaken the army Of Christ to larger en-
dcavor and holler living. To the rising
generation we must look. In them is oar
hope for the future, and let us go forth
with stronger faith, live holier lives and
do more for Christ in the year that is to

Miss FRANCES E. WILLARD, so long
the leading spirit In the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, is not in favor
with the ladies OF that organization.
The time which she devoted in the past
to temperance work is now divided
among several other causes, and strange
stories are afloat about the lady's con-
duct It is said that she and another
lady prominent in w. c. T. q. circles
have publicly been drinking something
out Of bottles. The something which
they are alleged to have drunk is ''un-
fermented grape juice" but the ladies'
think it differs too immaterially from
wine, and the Uuion has been shocked.
Miss WILLARD, it is said. has decided
not to advocate the cause Of political
prohibition any more, believing temper
ancs can be promoted best in other
ways. She is much interested, too, in
bicycle riding and boomers, and can
not now maintain her former standing
among the ladies Of the temperance
union.
Perhaps when other women reach the
same stage Of advancement" Miss
WILLARD will regain her old position
In their estimation.

Americans are rapidly becoming beer
drinkers, In spite OF the Prohibition
party and the temperance workers.
According to statistics compiled in
Vieona the average American last year
consumed about sixteen gallons Of beer,
a total OF a thousand million gallons,
but two other nations consuming greater
quantities. Germany, with consump-
ton OF LOO, i32. O74 gallons averaged
80 Gallons for every inhabitant, while
in Eugland the average con-
sumption was 80 gallons, the total
1,165, 752, 900. Beer has not long been
the favorlte beverage Of Americans and
the growth Of the beer business to these
enormous proportions furnishes field
for investigation. Il is claimed 0y
many that there is less drunkenness
among beer drinkers than among those
who drink any other intoxicants, and
statistics on drunkenness would be in
teresting could they be obtained. Per-
haps the increase in our German popu-
lation has tended to increase the appe-
tite for beer, but be that as 1t may,
the appetite is growing, aud If
the taste continues 20 increase as rapidly
S-1n the past we will soon outrank both
= Germany and England as beer cOnsum-
ing countries.
