mean and corrupt. Christian Endeavor
is the perpetual and avowed enemy of
all that which is dirty and filthy in
American politics, and must arrive at
a means to eradicate them from our
politics.
Our third thought is that Christian
Endeavor stands for practice in re-
ligion, rather than the theory of it.
The church has stood long on theory,
religion cultivating heart religion, in
stead of brain or head religion. There
are capable men in the poor houses
and good men in the penitentiary be-
cause they did not have the will
power to do right. Christian En-
deavor stands for applied religion.
We want to get some religion Of an in
ternal nature instead of an absolute
external religion. We want religion
that will stand seven days in the week,
four weeks in every month or 1865 days
in every year That is what Christian
Endeavor stands for. If we would not
have to excuse so many of the men
who have professed Christianity, we
could win many more souls to Christ
in this time.
Our fourth and last thought is, the
supreme object of Christian Endeavor
is to win souls and to save souls, not
the first without the last, but after
you have won a human soul to Christ,
you are to cultivate the spiritual ma
ture of this one. Win and keep souls
for Christ
1.-THE Christian EndeavCr business is
to lead the world to Christ, and this
embraces the Bible study, good citizen
ship and the practical or applied
Christianity"
Fifteen minutes was allowed for an
open suggestion of Christian Endeavor
work. Mrs. Warneke sang solo and
the "Sketerettes" quartette rendered a
fine musical selection The chrysan-
themum offering resulted in a large
collection of plants, which will be dis
tributed where they will do the most
good-among the sick and aged of the
city.
