CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES

The Christian Endeavor topic for tomor-
row is "Our Society Work, and How to
Better It." with Judges 11-S, 1922, as
Scripture references. Mrs. +. E. Clark in
an article in the Christian EndeavOr World
directed to the presidents of Christian En-
deavor societies, has these words of advice
to give: 1T is not in numbers alone that
our strength is to consist. If we have
made the mistake OF reckoning the strength
of our society only numerically, then our
better work must begin just here and we
should be very careful that only those
join our ranks, or remain in the ranks
who have carefully studied the pledge and
mean to keep it, in the spirit as we'll as the
letter. If any of us have been working in
our own strength, saying, Mine own hand
hath saved me- of such the Lord will say
These shall not go up to the battle 1t
becomes US all, from the president dc wn to
the youngest member, to question our own
hearts and see If in our own strength we
have been fighting"
