The pledge that is generally used by
Endeavorers throughout Great Britain
is the original one. with the introduc-
tory sentence, Relying on the Lord
Jesus Christ for salvation, and trusting
in God for strength, promise Him %
No one seems to know who composed
this introduction The theologians think
that there is a confusion of persons in
the Godhead in the phrase, They ask,
"To whom does the Him refer :"
Some societies, especially the Irish
Methodist, have adopted the American
revised pledge. 1t was agreed by the
British National council, at its recent
session, to adopt, after the phrase, I
will pray TO Him and read the Bible
every day, the words, that l will sup
port my own church and its services in
every way in my power - This is TO be

The Life Within.

All as God wills. who wisely heeds
To give or to withhold
And knoweth more Of all my needs
Than all my prayers have told!
Enough that blessings undeserved
Have marked my erring track;
That whereso'er my feet have swerved
His Christening turned me back.
That more and more a Providence
OF love is understood.
Making the springs Of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good.
That death seems but covered way
Which opens into light,
Wherein no blinded child can stray
Beyond the Fathers sight.
That care and trial seem at last,
Through memOry's sunset air,
Like mountain ranges overpast,
In purple distance fair.
That all the jarring notes OF life
Seem blending in a psalm
And all the angles of its strife
Slow rounding into calm.
And so the shadows fall apart,
And so the west winds play,
And all the windows OF my heart
! open to the day.
John G. Whittier.

onets for warding off attack Purity is
the defence Of beauty; modesty is the
