There is nothing in this world tC move men like the force of example, Ninety and nine out of every hundred are influenced more by somebody's "conversation' and "works' than by any other teaching, philosophy, or opinion in the abstract. Socially we live in an atmosphere of public opinion, expressed or implied; and we not only help to make that public opinion what 1t is, but we are influenced by it, and to certain extent must be conformed d to 1I, both on our own account, and for the sake of others. Indeed, in our weakness we are perhaps enSlaved and hindered if not degraded by the speech or people we do not respect, and are overcome by evildoers who make light of, or oppose us.
 We need to magnify the power of "honest conversational and "good works" not only for our own moral health and stamina, but for the com mon welfare of society.

The Endeavorers of the Congrega- tional church held their semi-annual business meeting in the prayer meeting room of the church on Monday even ing. There was good attendance of the members, and nearly every branch of the work was well heard from. A vote of appreciative thanks at the close showed that the efforts put forth did not go without recognition.
 The largest attendance of the half year, 40, so the recording Secretary, C.. Oscar Carlson, said, was at the mis- sionary meeting on April "A. Three new names have been added to the roll, making membership now of 53 necticut Temperance Union, had asked the corresponding secretary for the names of the voters in the society, showing that forces that are making for righteousness are not slow in recOg- nizing the power of the Christian En- deavor society for good citizenship.

 What is public opinion worth if men barter their convictions for the sake of trade? What can the sacrifice of the Cross mean to the world of those who profess to be Christians cannot afford to tell the truth for fear of pri- vate loss, even though the public good depends upon it? Moreover every man needs the moral support of every other mans honest convictions plainly ex- pressed, and the inspiration of every mans good deeds known and approved | by others.
 What can we say for the man who I has not the courage of his own con- he had none, or had better have none than to smother them in the napkin of his own petty selfshness. The world is evil and life at best is warfare. Conflict is inevitable and irrepressible. The divine ideal is the overcoming of evil with good. To this great end the kingdom coming needs men who are free. Free from ignorance and preju- dice; free from superstition and the fear of men; free to speak the truth because they have faith in God; free to do good with the assurance that no good work in the Lord can be in vain; free because they hope for the glory of God in the day of visitation, Knowing that ''all things do work toget her for good to them" who love God su preme- ly and their neigbors as themselves. | Human nature is essentially selfish. Only true religion makes us think of our fellow men to do them good. Prof Drummond, in his book on Trop- ical Africa, points out the fact that all Africa is criss-crossed by countless foot-paths. They lead in every direc- tion and are all very crooked. A stone is in the way, or limb falls across the path, and the first savage who comes along goes around it. It never occurs to him to remove it in the interest of the next traveller. The next conner steps around it also, and the next; and so permanent bend is made in the path. They have no sense of brother. fy helpfulness, nor even of intelligent self-interest. Each simply follows blindly in the way in which others have been before him!

The Sunday school committee have pared down the num- Der receiving quarterlies through the Home department to those actually interested in their study; B are now on the list of those who are looked after by this committee. The bit of good news is made known that cradle roll will soon be started; perhaps it will be in working order by Children's day. The Missionary committee have the honor of having had the largest attendance of the six months at one of their meetings. The talks by Prof Ross Jewell on the geography of China and Africa were much enjoyed. Foot binding in the Celestial Empire and spirit-worship in the Dark Continent show that the nations are far, very far from the glorious liberty of the chil- dren of God. The social committee referred to Saturday evening which awakened pleasant recollectionS of Pit, KrOkinOle and coffee.
 The evening was brought to happy denOuement by Miss Scudder's s reading about the denominational garden from the book that everybody has laughed over, "Lovey Mary" Lemonade and wafers gave solace to the inner man; and an earnest prayer for Gods hless- ing upon the coming days, with the Mlzpah benedictiOn, closed the busi- ness and the pleasure at a good bed time hour.
 The following officers were elected for the ensuing six months: President, Miss Eleanore Northrop; vice pfesi- dent, Rev Otis W. Barker; recording secretary, c.

 At the meeting of the w. c. T.

The devotional part was conducted by Miss Hawley, Miss Whitco ne reading the Scripture, followed by Mrs Frances in prayer. Miss Mildred Smith sang Il snlo, 'Beautiful Land on High. " MT Richardson sang "The Better Land" Miss Hawley then introduced M MisS May Lord, who spoke very earn- estly on the topic, ''Tarry ye here till I come.' She spoke especially on our influence over the. children. Every life sheds it's influence for good or evil. The children from the Center school sang very sweetly "A Wildwood Song" Mrs Frances has trained the children in this school for two years in music and drawing, and exhibited sam- ples of the work done, which reflects great credit to Mrs Francis. Miss Theo SkidmOre also told of her visits to some of the schools, all of which shows that this society is trying to do it's work through the coming genera ti)n.
