CHRIS STAN ENOEAVOR NOTES

Christian Endeavorers begin the New
Year tomorrow with a topic having a for
ward look, The Angel Presence for the
New Year In the Christian Endeavor
World, Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D. D.,
writes thus on the topic:
They will make the right start and the
safest journey through the year, who seek
the presence and companYonship of Gods
angels. To Israel in the olden times God
said, Behold, l send an angel before thee
TO keep thee in the way, and to bring thee
into the place which have prepared All
that was required was that Israel should
listen to his voice and obey him at every
step, and accept the guardian angel as
constant guide.
What the year of grace 1899 has in store
Tor us, we know not! and we need not de-
sire to know; one step u time is all that
we have to take. No one of US will be
strong enough to carry the duties of today
with the worries about tomorrow piled on
top of them. That good angel whispers in
your ear, Take no anxious thought for the
morrow; sufficient for the day are the du-
ties thereof Start the years journey by
putting your weak hand into the Masters
hand, and your only question being, Lord
what wilt Thou have me to do?
''Dont look for any miraculous appear
ahces, or expect to see any heavenly visit
ants with shining wings. Gods angels of
guidance will come to you in the ordinary
track of life as you trudge along the path
of duty. If you only acknowledge Him in
all your ways, He will direct your steps
He always hears a sincere prayer for guild
ance. More than one young man will find
the right calling, or the right wife; more
than one young minister will find the prop
er field of labor; more than one Christian
Endeavorer will be shown where he or she
can serve the Master best, because an un-
seen hand is 'eadfng them this year, just
as truly as one angel guided Jacob toward
Canaan, and another angel guided Phillip
down TO GAIA. Believe God s promises be-
lieVe in His Watchful providence over you;
has He not said that His angels are sent to
wait on them who are the heirs of saliva
ton and to 'encamp around those who fear
Him "
The topic for consideration at Junior
