, Should associate members be placed on
! the prayer meeting committees? No.
What should be the relation of the G. E.
Society to the church? 1t should be part
of the church-an organization of young
people for carrying on church work.
Should Christian Endeavor Societies ever
be re-organized? Under certain conditions,
yes.
What members should be placed on the
lookout committee? The very best workers.
Should associate member ever be ap-
pointed to lead a prayer meeting? This
brought out considerable discussion. Some
took the ground that the leadership of a
prayer meeting is a highly important posi-
tion as leading souls, and should only be
j entrusted to earnest working professed
Christians. Others believe that if an asso-
ciate member can be encouraged and helped
on towards d Christian life by being placed
in such position it should be done.
| Some discussion followed in regard to
neighborhood prayer meetings and fraternal
visits, after which the session closed with the
Endeavor benediction.
The evening session opened with praise
service led by FL. NJ. Pre- entss, during which
Mr.. Chas. E. Stephenson sang Just Over
! There" by Loud.
Rev. j. K Wilson, D. D., gave an address
on '' The aims of the Christian" One must
| have definite aim in the Christian life, as
in the business life. Two young men may
start in life under equally favorable condit-
ions. One succeeds and the other fails The
one had definite object in view and work
ed for it. The other had none. There are
too many "whittling Christians" who like
the boy who began life whiting without
trying to make anything kept on in the aim
less way through life. Next to aimlessness
comes too narrow an aim, The mere getting
ourselves in to Heaven is narrow aim. We
are to interpret God before men. Christ
said Let your light so shine before men
that they shall your good works and
glorify your Father which is in Heaven, "
Not to glorify you, but to glorify God. The
Christian was apty compared to the nations
ambassador to a foreign country. His peO-
pie and their works are judged by him. So
the church is judged by the lives of its fol-
lowers. In regard to modern amusements
| Dr. Wilson SAID: DO dancing and card
| playing help US to interpret God? If these
help US in any way let us have them in the
church. 1t is not the question can get in
| to Heaven and do these things? but what
would Jesus do?'' The aim of the church
| is to interpret God. We are all writing a Cos
| pei by our. lives as truly as did Matthew and
| John.
