SIGNIFICANT SPEECHES.. -.
At the noon meeting in the Mechan,
les pavilion the Rev. W. H G. Tempt,
of Seattle. WASH, spoke of Commit
tee Work" and said he feared that those
who thought they could sing themseive:
into everlasting bliss might awake t.
find themselves in everlasting blister
Christian Endeavor," said he, sis some
thing which puts a work to do into tht
hands of every member. Jesus Chris
IS the most practical master that evel
put servants to work, Our duty may
not be a loud mouthed thing; it may
be something ha will knock two or three
stories off our self conceit. ... ~.
What do I mean by a sentiment? A
brook is a sentiment as it comes dane
ing down the hillside, but turn it into
a mill race and it becomes a service
May we learn that Christian endeavoi
is not a formulation of but following
after Christ" .ee
Mr.. Temple wae jocular almost to the
end, but his closing period was ,impas-
stoned oratorys and he spoke of the
Christ who came to serve and save the
world. and 'who serves and saves i;
still where he sits beside the great white
throne
Mr.. Cochran. who is a delicately built
studious looking man, made a hit by
saying: II presume Mr.. Baer asked me
to talk upon this theme for few min
utes because he wanted brawny farm

country districts, 1t was a few years
ago in Los Angeles, in a Christian En-
deavor meeting, that while the meeting
was quietly progressing. man who had
become notorious as an, interrupter of
Sunday service arose and cried out vo-
ciferously. I don't believe in Christian
Endeavor; I don't believe in endeavorin
at all. l believe in "a git there society.
(Applause.) We all felt shocked at-the
time, but enclosed in that crazy setting
was there not gem of truest wisdom
A get there society-a society endeav-
orng to accomplish. Getting some
where. Beginning at Jerusalem. but not
staying there. That is the kind of society
we want for endeavor extension in coun-
try districts" (Applause.l
And in this key was the rest of his
eloquent address delivered.
At the Woodward's pavilion day meet
ing Mr.. Thompson said Christian En-
deavor is no longer an experiment Its
existence has been justified. Man re-
alizes this fact and believes in it. God
blesses it, Christian Endeavor has. a
divine enterprise which enables it to
carry out its own principles 1t is not
the church but force within the church
and the most ambitious of US had no
desire that it shall be anything else;
for Christ and the church is itsmotto.
"The character and spirituality of the
individual Christian makes the charm-
ing spirituality of the church. Only as
the Christ like is made manifest in. the
individual can it be made manifest in
the church. Those who have confessed
Christ and are pledged to him must
have a. deep sense of their personal re-
sponsibility of the growth in grace of
themselves and their fellow men. The
Christian who does not make use of
every means that God has blessed to the
salvation and help of men, is greatly
lacking in his work for Christ"
