Christian Endeavorers, according to let
ter received in Washington from one of the
leading officers, about to adopt some
new lines of work. The letter states: I'VE
have no new policy to advocate. Our
watchword would rather be, The old work
for the new way. A foremost place on our
banners must still be given to the watch
word. Loyalty to the local church.
This new movement stands for the serv-
ice of Christ through the service of the old
church which He himself established.
Other professedly Christian movements
may criticise and decry this sacred institu-
tion and its ministers, but Christian En-
deavor will increasingly manifest it's loyal
ty to the church. Nor shall we cease to
pray and work for revival of the work of
God in all the churches.
I'VE notice with considerable satisfaction
that many of our local unions. with the
full consent of the pastors and churches
concerned, are arranging united missions
and that in other places local unions are
organizing special series of evangelistic
meetings. This leads us to urge that care
full attention should be given to certain
great truths bearing uson success in these
evangelistic efforts. There would be enor-
nous force in a church every member of
which is faithful to every known duty, but
there are probably few such churches"

collection for the benefit of negro and
Indian missions was taken in all the Cath
Ole churches of this city Sunday last. A
letter from the vicar apostolic of the In

The priest goes around from house to house
