CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR TOPIC
For Feb. 11-Seek First the Kingdom
of God. Matthew, xiii, 44-48.

Crowns before cobwebs.
The Christian business man is known by the
fact that he is engaged in business winch
takes precedence of the one named on his sign
the Kings business. The Christian lawyer
studies first the laws Of the Kingdom, the Chris
tan doctor is always in consultation with the
Great Physician. the Christian homekeeper
thinks first Of the home over there" They
live in time, but they live also in eternity.
Churches will never be sluggish when church
members put the Kingdom first Missions VIII
never go begging when Christian pocketbooks
pay first tribute to the Kingdom. Calls to the
church and Christian Endeavor Office will never
be refused when it is understood In what
Kingdom they are posts Of honor.
For, what is the Kingdom? Our little wooden
church, with the bell hung In a tree hard by?
Yes. and st. Pauls Cathedral.
Our hating Sunday school teachers? Yes. and
Wanamakers great school in Philadelphia.
Our struggling Christian Endeavor Society,
with scarcely members enough to man the COM
mittees? Yes. and the eleven splendid Endeavor
societies in that Baptist church. Russell
Conwelrs.
Our hundred meetings here in Hardscrabble?
Yes, and the great missionary ingatherings of
China and India.
That is what we need. to hearten us In our
service of Christ, to stiffen our backbones and
unbend our purses and throw our heads proudly
erect-we need to know the majesty OF the King
dom. That it may be first in lives, we need
to know how it is first in the world; yes. first.
in spite of the worlds selhshness and greed and
shortsighted ambitions When we see empires
ruled by this Kingdom We are more likely to
obey its laws ourselves.
And so knowledge is at the bottom Of IL when
one determines to seek first the Kingdom"-a
study of the Bible. to get the vast plans for the
Kingdom; a study OF missionf, to get the vast
proportions of the Kingdom; study OF the
church. to get the vast power Of the Kingdom,
and study Of the world. to comprehend the
woeful need of the Kingdom. No one can long
pursue these four studies, any one OF them,
without coming in real earnest to seek first the
Kingdom of God
And that means that he will consider religious
work as something not to be Stunned. but
sought, and sought not in the minimum amount.
but the maximum. With him the question will
be- not how little he can give to Gods work.
and maintain his credit with men, but how
much he can give to 1t and so share In the Joy
of God. II he finds he 10 giving more than his
proportion of money toll. he rejoices in that
pre-eminence of service. Where others seek ex-
cuses from Gods house, he seeks opportunity to
go. Where others long for Monday, he longs for
Sunday Where others wonder what men will
say, he asks only what God says.
And one who thus seeks first the Kingdom OF
heaven discovers that he has gained with IL all
other 'frsts." Whoever gives Christ the head
of the table will find Ii spread with the best of
food. AMOS r. WELLS.

Ladies Especially Invited and
Everybody Needed.

The weather on Decoration Day was
very warm and many people were tired
out after spending hours in the sun.
For that reason principally it was de-
termined to postpone the 4th of July
meeting. No notification having been
given people continued to straggle along
to the library, some at 7 and others at
9 o'clock. There were no dissenters
to celebrating but organization was left
for Saturday evening. Therefore to-
morrow evening at 7:3o meeting will
be held for the purpose Of selecting
committees and attending to such other
matters as may come mp. The ladies'
are invited to come and give their aid
and it is to be hoped they will. The
business men are much wanted as the
bulk of the work will fall upon their
shoulders. Notices OF the meeting will
be distributed at supper time to remind
the forgetful. We have been asked by
so many to give this notice. all having
pledged themselves to get in and work,
that we know tomorrow evenings meet
imp will be large. The children are al
SO much interested. Come everybody.
