There can be no doubt as 10 the value
Of such gatherings as the great Chris
dan Endeayor conventions. They bring
together picked workers from the
churches, the brightest snd best and
most devoted souls. The simple fact
OF such a coming into touch with hun
dreds Of consecrated lives must mean
untold blessing
We labor in our little corner of the
field. Our view is necessarily narrow.
We are busy with our difficulties and
problems. We often grow dull and
discouraged. To rub against other
workers who have met these same OBJ
stacles and conquered them. who have
seen glorious results in the work of the
gospel, and to see the glow and feel
the throb of their enthusiasm, always
sends us back with new grit and fresh
power.
The matter Of methods is an i'm
portant one. Perhaps we have worn
out the old ways OF doing things In
some other field they have learned to
do the same old work in new ways
To know these viii make our service
for Christ far more effeetive.-Rev. Ed

The president Of college was talk
ing TO little group of undergraduates
about the wisdom of economy.
But while economy is wise" he
said. TO be mean or niggarily Is the
height of foolishness. The niggardly
man is nearly always oyerreached. II
Is like the story Of the miser and the
mouthful of water.
This miser had cask of wine In his
cellar. and every evening he would
send down his man to fetch him up q
pitcher. To keep the man from drink
ing any OF the wine he would make
him fill his mouth with water before
be left the room. Then, on his return.
the man would have TO prove that the
water still remained in his mouth, and
thus the miser was convinced that
none of the wine had been stolen.
This scheme seemed ingenious, and
yet the servant, with the greatest ease,
overreached his master. He kept a
pitcher OF water hidden in the cellar,
and. emptying his mouth on his de
scent, he would drink all the wine he
desired and on his return upstairs
would still have full mouth to show
the unsuspecting master."-Philadei-
