AN OCCASIONAL VISITOR.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
The position of the Society Of Chris
tian Endeavor on the question of inn
perialism has been widely misrepre-
sented i'm the secular press. The truth
of the matter is thar no attempt has
been made 10 commit the society To
one side or the other or to introduce
the subject of imperialism as an issue.
Neither upon this or any like topic has
the society ever taken a partisan po-
sition. This would be contrary TO its
purpose and foreign to its spirit. The
Christian Endeavor movement stands
for personal devotion To Christ. Tor
Craftsmanship and for the. Worldwide
extension of Christ's kingdom, and not
for any form OF phase OF partisan poll
tics.

active in the midst of this fanatical
community, and now there are 20 MEM
bers in three societies. the Juniors hav-
ing increased from II to 20 since last
February.
