The c. E. and the Church.

"The experience of many churches
with the Endeavor societies." says The
Christian Intelligencer. proves the
possibility of breach between the So
ciety and the church despite the pledge
and the avowed aim Of the society to
be helper in all the work Of the
church. The tendency to put the soci-
ETY. first and regard its meetings and
methods superior in value and impor-
tance to the regular services Is natural,
and when the leaven Of pride and
youthful confidence is injected the
rightful relation Of church and society
Is reversed, friction ensues and injury
rather than benefit Is the result The
very obligation to take some part in
the meetings may become snare, since
1t may lead to saying and doing what
ought to be, rather than what is felt.
A further danger lies In the preponder-
ance Of girls over boys. Of women over
men In the membership a condition
which has called for and led to the or
ganlzation of societies for men and
still further lowering of male member

ties"

FACES

In the eye that lights to meet US and the faoe
that smiles TO greet us
Are the shadows of the future and the impress
Of the past.
And the cheek that in its dawning flushed as rosy
as the morning
Shows the outline of its beauty as it fades away
at last.
And the little childrens faces mid their dimples
are the traces
OF the maden's glowing beauty and OF man
hoods brow of care,
And the prophecy Of LladncSs and the shadow OF
the sadness
To the thoughtful eye that gazeth are they
lurking there.
But the faces that are nearest and the faces that
are dearest
Arc the true. the tender faces that our trust and
loving win;
Then. when comes TO them the shading, when the
roses shall be fading
Like the vase with light illumined shall we see
the soul within
