CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES
Tomorrow the Endeavorers will consider
the topic, Patriotism" with Psalm 80:
LIZ, as a Scripture reference. The Rev
carries Martyr, ID, among other good
thlngs, says this on the topic: What is in
his country that the intelligent Christian
patriot loves? 1t is not only nor chiefly its
material interests, its swelling numbers
its fertile fields It's busy workshops, its
white sails of commerce. In these he cher
ishes just pride. But his intensest inter
est centers in its moral welfare He de-
sires his country to be pre-eminent for JUS
tice, virtue, religion, intelligence happy
ZONES and thrifty citizens, lifted above
bestial instincts. He studies to advance 1t
through the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of these ele-
ments In Its composition. Consequently
the true patriot grteves over and ardently
seeks TO amend whatever sordid and grow
cling tendencies he discovers in private or
public life The Rev. Howard B. Grose
says: The best Christian viii be the best
citizen. He who is most loyal to Gods law
will be the most obedient to the law of the
land
