C. ]. Saunders Of Mcpherson. gave
a strong paper on the subject Signing
the Pledge" He showed that as Christ
came to do the work of the Father, so
also the pledge represents the work to
be done by the EndeavOrer. The pledge
added no new duties. it simply repre-
scented the gospel in new dress. Every
requirement of the pledge had its foun-
dation in the Scriptures and he who
was not true to the pledge was not true
to the word of God.
A discussion followed this talk on the
ACCESSIBILITY Of doing away with the
pledge Several thought that the pledge
indicating to the young people what to
do. was invaluable. am that the stan
dard of high excellence therein could
not be eliminated without retrogression.

discussed in an interesting manner the
l1ndeavorers relation to the PRAYER
meeting. and this was followed BY an
address by Mrs. Joseph Craven OF
