beautiful girl like you must havo had
many offers of marriage"
She blushed prettily, and her eyes
seemed to say, "Of course" but she did
not answer otherwise.
And, of course" he went on, "I
wouldn't think of asking who any Of
the men were or anything about them,
but I am interested in knowing how
they do it." .,
Then sh eroused herself.

Endeavorers to mingle little more patriot
ism with their pietyP Certainly God and
1O,OC0 Endeavorers could have some in
fuence over 800 legislators. We rec
omend that the state and local unions or
gauize Christian citizenship leagues for the
distribution of educative literature, for the
rapid protest against bad bills, and strong
commentator of good ones. Whatever
may be done by organizations, will not
every Endeavorer take this pledge-the
one made by Rev. Cortland Myers-"I
will never raise my voice, use my pen or

posed to the saloon and determined to see
