CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES

The topic for consideration tomorrow is
THE Minor Virtues and Their Importance,
| In writing upon the topic the Rev. d.
Sutherland speaks thus: ''Self-control is
the mortar in which the different parts and
layers Of virtue must be set Without e,
the endurance OF the qualities of manlineSs
or womanliness is impossible. Discretion is
that weighing Of consequences which dis
tinguishes the wise man from the fool.
Diligence is the power to keep pc&sing
away at the work in hand, whether il be
small or large, believing that the duty
nearest at hand is the duty God would have
US do. Perseverance is running the race
set before us with sustained energy, look
irs unto Jesus. the author and ttnisher Of
our faith. Patience is that attitude OF soul
which waits uron God and WeareS NOT.
though His coming seems to be slow. HUI
mIlity is window of the soul through
which heavens light comes in. and ONT Of
which we catch visions Of beauty and glory
denied to the proud and naughty. a peas
ant on his knees sees further than a phil
| osopher on his tiptoes.
