/ am aware of the criticisms that
Christian Endeavor tends to weakens the
meaning OF conservation by too ire
quent aliuEion to It, In this monthly ser
vice, but have no sympathy with the
criticism, nor is 1t a fair or just conten-
ton.
In a sense, conservation Is the act of
q life time, and when we have once Civ.
en- ourselves to God, it should be irrevoc-
able. Never should we take the sacrifice
from OF the altar OF God
In another sense, il is just as true that
conservation ia a continuous pr ocess, and
Is therefore a daily, hourly act. As we
keep open and clean these lives and
hearts OF ours, the presence of God keeps
them sacred and holy.

FOOD In MEXICO.
American Food, Grapo-Nuts Replaces
Native Food.

A gentleman from the City of Mexico
Paul 4. Gadsden, writes that himself
and some other members of his family
could not live comfortably ON the ordi-
nary food in Mexico, and altar using the
native food for some months, finally got
Into a run down and exhausted condi-
tion.
He says: IAN American feels most
acutely the nsed In mind and body of
some OF the invigorating food he has
been raised on in the States. Several
months ago when l was particularly feel
ing the need of some change In food, 1
noticed Grape-Nuts In the window OF
one OF the large grocery stores here, and
remembering how, In the STATES. some
little nieces and nsphews had grown fat
and healthy en- it, almost exclusively,
l bought two packages, to see II it sue
oseded as well with grown up people.
From that day to this 1t has never
been absent from our table. With us, the
exhaustion and enervation caused by
this climate and the miserable diet, has
entirely disappeared. and we are all In
most excellent health, vigor, and spirits. I"

smoke In q most forceful way on the Joy
Of Service, his address being one OF the
features OF the morning session.
Tho last speaker was Rev. Clarence e.
Eberman of Lancaster, Penn, whose
topic was "The Need OF Consecrat ion"
He said in part:
The genius Of Christian Endeavor has
ever sought to interpret the need and the
reality OF Conservation. Our young peo-
pie have been trained to recognize the
great principle of the Kingdom OF God,
that the life must wholly belong to God,
by a wiling conscious choice. This great
spiritual factor was Incorporated Into
Christian Endeavor from Its very begin
ming, and believe that God has so Sig
nally blessed our great movement, be-
cause among great truths, the supreme
Importance OF this spiritual principle has
been insists upon, and It's practical ap-
plication has teen fosterd.
Conservation, therefore, Involves
whole hsarted surrender to God, an en-
tire dedication to His service, life
wholly given over into the Divine Hand,
not CRU iGing the Lord single strand OF
energy or strength, The ministry OF
Christian Endeayor, however, has uplitt-
ed the great ideal of conservation, and
the reality Of conservation lies at the
foundation of this magnificent structure,

ing today. 1t has been the shining path

There are three ways in which the En-

he is getting childish. Ihey say it Is

picture. What can be done Tor himY lie

The next speaker was Kew. W. l. DAr-
bv OF kirxsyille, Mo who spoke on the
suit ieot Of "Whas Our Pastors can do for
Christian En-sIyor " He proved to be
most force,ul ana interesting speaker.
he began by saying that this topic had
appeared on the programmes OF great
many Christian Endeavor conventions,
and was pretty OLD. Perhaps IL was In
serted for the same reason that the COL
ored brother preaohed on the command
ment. T'Iho1 shalt not STEAL for three
Sundays in succession. After the third
Sunday one of his people came to this
colorad brother and said that the general
feeling was that they were getting too
much OF this "thou shalt not stsal dis
course, and some Of them were commence
ing TO think that the oolore1 brother was
making some personal aIlusion to them,
and they were getting sensitive about IL.
"Then yo tell EN- to stop stealing and
I'll slop preaching about IL, said the col
ored brother. When the pc stors learn to
do all they can for Christisn EndeayOr
then this subject will cease appearing
in the Christian Endeavor programmes.
The speaker went on to say that In all
