born creeping, It coon began to run. II
ever the promise has been fulfilled: They
shall run and not be weary; they shall
walk and not faint" 1t has been to this or
ganization. Every year OF the eighteen
OF our history has been marked by some
advance.
1881 by the formation Of the first society.
1882 by the first convention.
1883 by growth beyond the Mississippi
1884 by the formation Of the fret Junior
society.
1885 by the formation of the United So
ciety
1886 by the first local union and nrst
State union.
1887 by the formation and rapid growth
Of the State and local unions.
1888 by the beginning of work In Great
Britain.
1Ss9-91 by marvellous numerical growth
every evangelical denomination coming
into the fellowship.
1892 by the extension of the movement
1893 by the adoption Of Christian citizen
ship as legitimate part of Christian En-
deavor work.
1894 by great revival of missionary
zeal.
1895 by the formation OF the Worlds
Christian Endeavor union and new sense
OF our international brotherhood.
1895 by the adoption Of the Tenth Le-
gion
1897 by the beginnings OF the Quiet Hour
movement.
1885, the last and best OF all. by the very
rapid and substantial expansion OF the
Tenth Legion, the Quiet Hour of Bible
reading, and the sentiment for peace and
international arbitration, as expressed In
the Peace Memorial
Going and growing; growing and going,
have been characteristic OF every year OF
our history. All these advance steps have
been gained not by ignoring or neglecting
the gains of the past, but by conserving
them while new advances were u ade. Thus
every advance step for citizenship mis-
sons, international and interdenomina-
tional Fellowship, church loyalty, and
greater efficiency within the society has
been maintained and strengthened while
the next year has seen some higher plane
reached, some new duty undertaken, some
new responsibility assumed.
In many respects this last year nae been
the best In our history; there have been
more going and growing, more advance
and increase than in any other year.
l would earnestly recommend as an out
come of the Tenth Legion that we all take
up the Forward Movement of our re-
spective denominations. and that as indi-
viduals and societies we either adopt and
support some missionary or native worker
oil our own, or group ourselves with other
societies for this purpose
Nay, why can we not do more than this,
and. as individuals, have it for cur ambi-
ton to support missionary or worker
through our own denomination at home or
abroad. The Student Volunteer movement
needs this supplementary movement to
complete it, and to render it effective.
Young men, make money for God Pledge
yourselves to turn your best ability to the
making of money, not for selfish and
sordid purpose, but that through money
the world may he evangelical.
Glorify this meanest of passions with the
God-like light of an unselfeh purpose
Transmute this clay into pure gold. Make
your purpose very specific and definite.
Bring to bear the force of our pledge upon
your business. Route righteousness with
Cody purpose and say:
Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for
strength. l will make money tor Him.

through my own denominational board,
one or more workers fer Christ on the
home or foreign field"
