Christian EndeavOr; Its Success

BY REV. WILLIAM MASON, Chic

In this age of organization, Christian
EndeavOr takes front rank among world
movements. Originating twenty four
years ago in a single ocIety, there are
today in sixty different nations. $4,000
societies, with an aggregate member
ship of more than three and one-half
millions. 1t reaches from pole to pole,
from ocean to ocean and crowds all the
continents.
Christian Endeavor seeks to answer
the whole claim Of life. It has quick.
ened intelligence, fired conscience. slim
ulated affection, deepened reverence
and rendered practical the highest
ideals of christendom. It has given the
young people something worth while to
work for and shown them how to work
1t has shown elasticity enough to read
lily adjust itself to the most obstinate
local and provincial popularity; tena-
cious enough to conserve invlolate, all
that is essential in Christian life and
thought. It strengthens the individual
in all religious expression, and trains
the young Christian in all branches of
church activity.
The progress of Christian Endeavor
has been one unbrOken success. Each
year it has broadened and deepened it's
hold upon the youth of every name and
nation. There has been no step back.
