hos been made. No business man can at
ford to let his note go to protest. No
Christian can afford to leave a promise
unfulhlled.
It may cost a bit of trouble to find
something to say; you nay have to
scratch oun and expend a modicum
of nervous energy in the effort; but how
can one refuse one little word for Jesus
without suffering a sacred promise over
his own signature, to go to protest?
Even if the promise involves a saeri-
flee. the h~elpfulness of the prayer meet
ing demands that we make it very cheer
fully. If its conduct be left to the few,
our much-lovcd Christian Endeavor pray
err meeting win ~retrograde; and when it
has descended to the level of the odd
timer" it may as well be abandoned.
The variety and freshness of a pro-
in which there are no pauses
make the meeting attractive and the So
ciety a success.
Finally, for his own sake, that he may
derive the largest benefit from Christian
fellowship, the Endeavorer should take
his promised part in every meeting. The
very effort expended in hunting up some
thing to say viii concentrate wandering
thoughts upon a spiritual theme. Those
who are most faithful will grow apace
through exercise, and become .'scribes of
the kingdom bringing out of divine
treasures things new and old.

SUGGESTIONS FOR ENDEAvoRERs
DR.. Brett Gives Advice Oh Partici-
patton in Prayer Meetings.

The Rev. DR.. Cornelius Brett, president
of the New Jersey Unions, in the En-
deavor World" gives the following sug-
gestions IN taking part in the prayer
meetings.
Christian Endeavor has given a new
meaning to the prayer-meeting. And yet
the ideal Of this latter-day organization
lays 10 claim to novelty. Our prayer
meeting is a revival, not a creation. We
find our model in that pre-pentecostal
assembly, where "all with one accord"
participated audibly.
Hence the pc rsonal pledge Of member
ship in the Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor. II will take some
part in every meeting

MARCH WEATHER.-The rainy wealth
er oil Saturday continued at intervals
uutil Yesterday afternoon. The wind
had held until that time from the south,
and masses cfclouds sailed across the
heavens at times causing heavy down
p0urs of rain. Early in the afternoon,
however, the wind veered to the north
west and 8 fierce gale and clearing
weather followed. The wind howled
and shrieked and rendered pedestri-
anism extremely difficult. As evening
advanced the flaws seemed to gain en-
ergy until the velocity attained was
forty six miles an hour. The gale con-
tinu5d throughout the greater part Of
the night. Several large trees were
blown down, while others were badly
damaged Many signs were blown
down, and number of windows were
broken. The poles from which the

Bennett F .Gwynn, was native of Prince
Georges county, Md, but some years

sided until his death. Mrs. Dent was q
sister of Mrs. George a. Mushbach,
ard the mother of four children. The
deceased, though she bad been
in bad health for some time,
had been i'll only since Friday
night and her death was surprise and
shock to her many friends. Her hus-
band died about six years ego, and
hardly had the habijiments of mourn
ing been laid aside when the household
was again darkened by the death of
Mrs. Dents father, which occurred in
1897 And now death hss once more
entered and the four children, hereto
fore fatherless, have had fond mother
taken from them. The many friends CT
