OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR INTEREST.

Drawing Near--Coming Christian En-
deavor Events.
Some who will read this have met |
men who only very short time ago |
said they were on the very edge of star
walton, and it has been noted that it was
not until they were starving they cried
out unto God--and were saved. God in
His mercy suffered them to hunger that
He might make them know that "Man
doth not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out OF the
mouth of God" When they come to
recognize God, the good things come
back. God is the supply for hunger
When the men who visit the Sunday
Breakfast rooms to be fed find cur
Christ their Friend, it is not long before
they have something to eat. A number
of them have gone at once from their
degradation and gotten employment
Their physical hunger is quickly over
when they find God. He suffers them
to hunger that He may give them Him
self.
The good work of trying to feed the
hungry and to show those discouraged
men that it has been allowed in loving
mercy, still goes on at the Breakfast
Association rooms. A number of visi-
tors were present last Sunday morning
and several of them who had gone there
for their first time came away with their
hearts touched by the sight OF the
hungry crowd, and deeply stirred by
the testimonies of the redeemed men,
so plainly showing their hunger had
been satisfied by God, and they were
| living new men in Christ jesus A Vlsl-
| tor entered these rooms last sunday
morning out of curiosity; she did not
4 know what it was to have the love oil
Christ in her heart. She listened to
everything that was said, but nothing
| touched her until the men, those who
| only u few months and weeks had tried
to serve God, got up and told of the
change in their lives. Something
wrought upon her, and since then she
has felt it was the Spirit Of God, con
vincing her of the error Of her past life.
We know the Endeavorers always 90
away with new ideas of their Christian
duty towards their poor, unfortunate
fellow men, and have thereby been
made better workers in the Masters
vineyard; but all invitation is extended
to all to visit these rooms, feeling sure
that if you are not interested in the
work now you will BIZ; or, that the sight
of the work carried on, and the testi-
monies of some of the men will help
you to live more Christ-like lives and
he better workers. You may not fee
called Just to that special work, but you
will find fields open for you all oVel
The city, and active, earnest, God-tear
ing workers are needed everywhere.
