must turn for material with which to carry
on its warfare. No wonder, then. that the
Methodist Church should have q young
peoples society
The Epworth League has been called the
right arm OF the church, and yet some
leagues have been accused Of not support
ing the pastor and the public services Of
the church. We cannot be loyal to the
principles Of the Epworth League unless
we are loyal to our pastor and church.
Mass meetings like this are good things
to have to show our enthusiasm and zeal,
and to look up for strength and power,
be done in our home league and church.
How and What to Do.
How can we as young people help our
pastor and church? We can do 1t by right
living. The great need Of the church is
consistent Christian living. Let us ex-
emplify Christ's life in our own lives ard
do all we can to help others to do SO. Let
us be good example by attending all the
church services regularly. Recognize your
own individual responsibility. Do not lose
yourself in the organization. Do not expect
the church, or pastor, or Epworth League
to do your work. They cannot do 1t.
Let us then go forward with an undying
faith; with faith that leads us to look
for. work for, pray for that which we wish
to accomplish; with a faith that will slay
selfishness and conquer every expediency.
with faith that joyously anticipates the
success of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Whenever we become a band of conse-
Grated young men and women, pledged to
do whatever Christ, our Master. would like
to have us do, then, and not till then, shall
we accomplish the great mission to which
we have been Called
