Good Citizenship Movement.
The good citizenship committee Of the
union, A. s. Taylor. chairman, made n re-
port recommending a platform of principles
upon which the good citizenship work Of
the union should stand. 1t was unanimous
ly adopted, and has the following general
features
In the first place the report reiterates ad-
herence to the following principles of the
Christian Endeavor movement, namely,
that each society is part of the church
with which 1t is connected, and that 1T is
amenable only to the officers Of the church;
that the union is a coalition of The soci-
cites for good fellowship, mutual benefit,
&c; that it is strictly interdenominational
that it's acts and those of its officers are
advisory and suggestive, but In no wise
