Function, of the United Society.

The trustees Of the United society de-
sire to call especial attention TO the fol
lowing portion Of the presidents report,
to which they give the heartiest in
dorsement: 1.-The glory of the move
ment is that it has been Gods move
ment. As board of trustees and as Of.
ficers of the United society we have
resolutely refused to exercise any au-
thority to legislate for any society or
TO decide any local questions Of admin
istration. All these matters belong ex-
clusively to the pastors and churches.
This idea, so difficult for the general
public to understand, enters into all our
conventions and mods the character OF
our brotherhood everywhere. Our con-
ventiops are mass meetings, without
one legislative function. without the
possibility Of interfering with or direct.
ing the affairs of any society.
"We believe that clear understand
ing and development Of this idea will
make plain our way in the many per
picking paths of the future. 1t has 0
bearing upon the character and purpose
Of all our conventions. 1t refers every
difficult question relating to societies
back to the only court Of arbitration
the church to which the society belongs
It prescribes the character Of our fell
lowship, which on this basis only may
be as broad as the universal church %
Christ itself. 1t limits, as they ought &c
be limited, the functions of the United
society, making it simply bureau Of
information and statistics.

Christian Endeavor Notes.

The Lone Star State now boasts a
Christian Endeavor society in its state
prison at Huntsville.
When knees grow weary Of bending,
hands must grow weary of serving.
Indians of the west are organized into
the Dakota Christian Endeavor union.
The endeavor that is not born of con-
secration is no child of Christian En-
deavor.
II we would look often to Jesus for
faith, we would be keener tn sec oppor-
tunities for endeavor.
Norway is the latest country to admit
Christian Endeavor. There is now a So
ciety at Christiania.
Christian Endeavor is "also 70 the
Greek" There are Greek societies in
Boston, Lowell and Woburn, Mass.
Committees that "don't know wha,
to do" would better saturate themselves
with Christian Endeavor literature

Topic For the Week Beginning March a1.
Comment by Rev. s. III. Doyle.
TOPIC Diligent IN business. Prov. vi, Gilt
Joshua xii, 8.
Many people have false ideas as to
the attitude of the Bible toward bust
ness and religion. They think the Bible
has little to say about business and re-
ligion, and. in fact, that there is little
real connection between business and
religion and religion and business.
These ideas are utterly false and absurd.
The Bible teaches emphatically two
principles in reference to the mutual
relations of business and religion-frst,
that we should have business in our re-
ligion, and. secondly, that we should
have religion in our business. These
ideas are brought out in our topical ref
erences.
1. Diligence in business. Prov. vi.
ell. In these words the wise man uses
the industry Of the ant to urge the sloth-
full to diligence in business. The Bible
is q practical book. 1t deals not only
with the unseen future life, but also
with the present life. 1t recognizes the
necessity of daily toll. of being diligent
and jealous in some vocation in life,
and il constantly urges upon Us the i'm
portance and value of this necessity.
We are enjoined not to be slothful in
business, but to be fervent in spirit,
serving the Lord. This brings our reli-
gion down to the practical walks of life,
and makes a man serve God by being
industrious and diligent in some useful
calling. God has no use for the slothful
and the sluggards. He put us all in this
world for purpose and He wants us to
fulfill that purpose. We do this to some
extent by being engaged in some useful
ife business.
2. Diligent in religion. Joshua xii, B.
"Take diligent heed to do the command
ment of the law, which Moses, the serv-
ant Of the Lord, charged you, to love the
Lord, your God, and TO walk in all His
ways, and to keep His commandments,
and to cleave unto Him, and to serve
Him with all your heart and with all
your SOUL" Thus Joshua commanded
the children of Israel TO be diligent in
religion. The same command is applica-
BILE to US. We are not only to be dill
gent in serving ourselves. but diligent
in serving God. Religion is doing Gods
business for Him, and surely we should
not be less faithful, less regular, less
punctual, less diligent, when engaged
in business for God than when engaged
in business for ourselves. Let Us look
upon our religion as a business, and let
MS apply the same principles to it that
business men apply to their business.
Let us be diligent to observe and do al
the will Of God.

Sing with tho Spirit.

The Christian Endeavor pledge never
intended to slight the service of song.
Rather did it enjoin upon every MEM
Der the duty of music. by framing the
phrase referring TO singing. A song is
the first sound that bursts from the
heart of the soul as it is led into the
light. And song, "a new song, " is to
accompany all our deeds in the eternal
day Of our home. A song welcomed the
Saviour to earth; n song welcomes ev-
cry newborn soul into heaven. Surely
an agency so divinely sanctioned is not
to be disregarded. Christian Endeavor
services, as all gatherings of believers,
ought to sing with the spirit and the
understanding also. Golden Rule.
