CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES

The topic fer consideration tomorrow is
Christian Recreation" and the Rev. John
F. Cowan, D. D., says on that topic:
"Christian RECREATION recreates other things
besides the gTsIy matter of the brain. 1t
recreatesi courage for discouraged tread
mill worker to exchange his task for some
other fora tina. 1t brings into play new
set of pemers;ih is like riding a fresh horse
while the faded one rests. Some people
would cath itresting to sit down with folded
hands wasingsfor the tired horse to eat his
oats. But tharcwould not be sensible, and
nothing that iSonot sensible can claim to be
christiam' The most enerNating hours a
man ever spends are the Sundays he stays
at home Ifremy church forrest. ee?}, and in
which hd fefaxes himself in his shirt sleeves
and s1ippers slhn easy chair
Next ft1onday, mornings winding up of
the spring, at rthe expense of his suffering
I clerks. ealghts TO, expose ,the fallacy. An
hour in .qhurele facing some, Inspiring truth
and Laying his nature open to God, would
have bracea him up He would have beg an
the week wound up. Christian recreation
Iecreates human sympathy, by means of a
vacation of a summer, a day, or an hour
ST ent in close TOUGH with those whose lot
Is. harder, or who need the hand of a
stronger brother. 1t will do wonders for a
shriveled heart. The quiet hour is recrea-
ton in its way, as we'll as are physical ex-
ercise and cheerful human companionshp."
