His Reasons For Enthusiasm.

am frank to confess l have become
an enthusiast in the Christian Endeav-
or movement, and the more / know of
its principles and workings the more
fervent is my enthusiasm, and for rea-
sons like these:
First.-Because of the emphasis the
movement puts upon the local church.
Second.-That it is SO thoroughly re-
hgious movement is another reason for
my enthusiasm.
Third.-A third reason for my glad
Endorsement of this movement is the
specific pledge of service it exaets.
Fourth.-Another reason for my deep
interest in this movement is that 1t
takes equal grasp on the young women
rs well as on the young men.
Fifth.-Still another reason why / so
rejoice in this movement is its tender
management of young Christians.
Sixth.-Still an added reason for my
gladness in this movement is the de-
hghtful interrelations it brings about
between the various evangelical demon
fnations.-Rey. DIR. wayland Hoyt in

Her modest, unassuming manners, her unset

much like the ways OF my own dear mother,

that two dear ones who had done what they

Dear AUNT Nadge and N. B. Friends:
NEW YEARS GREETING.
1t was with real sadness that | read of the
passing out of this life OF our friend and helper,
Ego. 1 always enjoyed her bright, CHEEKY
letters so much.
Last winter when in Massachus sets. her letters
came as ray OF sunshine giving a glimpse of
what was going on outside of our little world.
My sympathy goes out to the daughter for who,
better than We who have lost our mothers, know
how she viii miss her. Yet II is comfort To
know that what is a loss to us here is gain to
them in heaven.
NOW tnat the holidays are about over. hone
We shall have more time TO give to the column
and so make Il helpful through the new year.
Sincerely. q
la personal letter from AUNT Marian
she says:
81 am so sorry Ego has left US, her letters
were SO cheerful. SO instructive, SO much l,ke

The following letter you will all especi-
ally prize, as 1t comes from one who was
her nearest neighbor in the happy days of
their companionship, and am sure "Elo,,
was the neighbor whom Ego" mentioned
as watching the sunsets with her. We
welcome you, "Elo" for "Ego'sn sake and
your own.
