tian Endeavor societies organized in
connection with Baptist churches. Its
main purpose, while approving the
broad. evangelical work OF the En-
deavorers, is to promote special spirit
Of loyalty and earnestness toward the
Baptist denomination; to the end that,
as the old supports Of the church are
gathered to their fathers, the ranks
may be kept even and the Baptist army
increased from The junior organization.
Charity toward all, malice toward
none, in religious work, 10 the aim of
the organization, and as reports to be
submitted to the coming convention
will show. its membership is increas-
