Conducted by Grace Livingston Hill-Lutz.

Topic: What Christian Endeayor Means to Me
and to the World" christian Endeavor Day
Conservation MeetingJ Philippians ii Ills.
From the Twentieth Century New Testament.
"Exhortation to certain Christian virtues:
IF then, any encouragement comes
through Christ, If there is any persuasive
power in love, if there Is any companion
ship of the Spirit, If there is any tenderness
or pity, l beg you to make my happiness
complete by living together In harmony and
love-one in heart and in spirit. Nothing
should be done in spirit Of rivalry r from
vanity, but each of you should humbly
reckon the others to be Of more account
than himself, and all should consult the in
terests of others in addition to their own.
Let the spirit of Christ Jesus be yours also
Though from the beginning He had the d.
vine nature, yet He did not look. upon
equality with God as something to be chung
to, but impoverished himself by taking the
nature of a servant and becoming like other
men. Then He appeared among US as q
man, and still further BUNDLED himself
by submitting even to death-yes, death on
cross! And this Is why God raised Him
to the very highest place. and gave Him
the name which ranks above all others, so
that In honor of the name Of Jesus every
knee should bend, in heaven, on earth,
and under the earth, and that every tongue
should acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord
to the glory of God the Fathef.
Therefore. my dear friends, as you have
always been obedient in the past, now
work out your own salvation with rever-
ence and awe, and that not only when am
with you. but all the more now that am
away. Remember 1t is God. who. in His
kindness, is at work within you, enabling
you both to will and to work. In all that
you do, avoid discomfort and dissension SO
as to prove yourselves blameless ana fnno-
cent-children Of God. and faultless, though
in the midst of an evil-disposed and per

offering to men the message of life, and /
shall be able at the day Of Christ to boast
that did not live my life for nothing, nor
toll for nothing.
And yet, even IL when your faith is Of
fered as q sacrifice to God, my life-blood
has to be poured over 1t, still shan rejoice
and share the JOY. Of you all, and In the
same way you also must rejoice and share
my JOY"
The Lesson.
The church at PhiIippi seems to have been
a good deal like the church to which you

practically nothing else, yet he could no
longer conscientiously engage in it on the
spected his scruples, cut out the Sunday
work and increased his salary. That sea-
son young Crabill led the state league in
pitching. But. much as he delighted in
ball playing, he enjoyed preaching more.
The close of the season Of 1908 witnessed
the end of his base ball career, since which
time he has engaged in evangeistic work,
in which he has been very successful.
Crabill says of himself: II thought I
loved to play ball, but I never loved any
thing as love to preach the old Gospel"
While the evangelist will welcome any
who may attend these services the presence
of base ball men will be especially appre-
ciated.
Mr. Crabill will be assisted in these meet
ings by MIR. F. F. Leonard, noted Gospel
singer.

200. What are miracles?


Answer. They are those supernatural acts
by which God Endorsed the substance of a
divine revelation; and they are the creden-
tlals of those persons through whom the
revelation was made. BY supernatural is
here meant that which is outside the or
remembered that the ordinary processes
are not less wonderful, but, being regu-
lated and common, they are not so plainly
evidential as that which is unusual or spe-
cial.
210. Why does the Bible contain such a
brief account of the times before the
deiuse?
Answer. The book of Genesis was in
tended to be an Introduction only to the
Pentateuch. and such show how Israel
came to be IN Egypt. 1t was therefore
chiefly concerned with the story of Abra-
the book but eleven chapters. In such an
Introduction there was no need of extend
ed reference to the antediluvian times
mere record of the fact that the race was
destroyed because of sin, as warning to
after generations. was sufficient for all
the purposes of the narrative.
211. Why do biblical scholars hold thai
the world is only COCO years old, as against
modern science that teaches a much great
er age?
Answer. Biblical scholars do not hold
any such thing They know to the CON
trary. According to the chronology of
Archbishop Usher, it is about 5000 years
since Adam was created. But that system
of chronology has been rejected by some
and questioned by Others 1t was con-
structed on biblical data, which may not
have been well understood. But the Gre
alton Of the world was far back of Adams
time-how far no one knows. The six days
mentioned in Genesis were indefinite periods
of time. For aught we know to the con-
trary our globe may have existed many
millions of years. and it may have passed
through many changes. On that point we
must follow science rather than revela-
ton.

an occasion would have moved even the
pasest nature to the very depths. Looking
back to the time when Gods first word
came to him Gen., vi:1O; recalling what
had transpired In the intervening months;
Deholding about him an uninhabited earth |:
looking forward to the promises and their
fulnllment (Gen., vi:1S)-Noah and his

God, Who had preserved them and shown
20 snem HIS great mercy and power. They
ouilded an altar. Preserving the forms
which had been handed down from the
earliest times, and consenting to the faith
IN which Abel died. they carried over into
the future what had been most precious
IN the old daya-those sacrifices which
Lypfned the great sacrifice to be made on
Calvary Crew., xiii:6). OF every clean breast
and OF every clean fowl burnt offerings
were made. That acceptable service moved
the heart OF God, who pledged His mercy
to the race that should spread from those
eight souls.
REFLECTIONS-1. It has been
thought that the deluge, the greatest epoch
OF primitive time. made turning point in
the physical condition Of humanity There
1s supposed to have been a change In the
atmosphere. Paradisaical harmony Of the
earth had departed at an earlier day. There
comes III now more constant order The
relations with the animal kingdom were
greatly affected and mans life was short
ened. z. There are stronger indications
that the flood wrought great change in the
spiritual life of man. The story of this
great catastrophe was carried in various
forms by all the migrating peoples to their
new homes becoming perpetual reminder
OF God. The worship introduced by Noah
was also extended worldwide. His faith
was the seed-corn, as well as the sign Of
the future theocracy and the future church.
An ALTAR OF sacrifice, an altar of thanks
giving an altar of prayer erected to Je-
hovah Is the distinguishing feature Of all
times from Noah to this time. -

Gambler building, the magnificent struc-
tu-e at Peachtree, Houston and North
Pryor streets, constructed by Asa G..
Gambler, president of the Coca-Cola COM
pany. and of which Asa G. Gambler, Jr..
is manager. The primary design of the
book is to advertise the Gambler building,
but in doing so 1t contains much of value
to the history of Atlanta, giving his
tory, not only of the construction of the
Gambler building, but of the ground on
which it stands.
The cover design of the booklet is a
magnificent reproduction in colors OF the
Gambler coat of rms. embossed Tins
coat OF arms is on every piece of hard
ware in the Gambler building. The fronts-
piece is full page picture of the build
ing. Then there is a photograph of Mr..
Gambler and word concerning his work.
Following this is a photograph of George
+. Murphy, the architect. Then comes a
foreword dealing with the history of the
land en- which the building stands, fol-
lowed by short chapter on the building,

The booklet is printed on heavy glazed
