CHANGE IN C. E. PLEDGE
A St. Paul Church Wants It Made
More Practical.

The First Presby terrain church of st.
Paul is reported to be in favor of
change in the pledge of the Christian En-
deavor society. The sentiment is said to
be in accord with a general feeling thru
out the country. but Minneapolis Endea-
Vorcrs say they know nothing of such
a feeling, if it really exists.
The St. Paul Christians attitude to-
ward the pledge was expressed in a reso-
luton adopted at the annual meeting of
the church last evening. The resolution
was to the. effect that the pledge be
either modified SO as to be made more
practical. or done away with altogether"
The resolution, it was decided. should be
submitted to the st. Paul presbytery.
The Endeavor pledge requires members
| Of the society to read the Bible every day,
to be loyal to their church. to attend
Sunday and weekday services of the
church and society and to take part in
every society meeting. These require
ments. it is urged, might have been desir-
able twenty years ago, but are not now.
| There is a, qualifying clause which makes
| the rule flexible. however, and Mime
| apolis 1Indeavorers have heard no talk of
a change. and recognize, so far as opin-
ions have been expressed, no need of
! one.
