But that is the way it usually is with
the poet: he hasn't business ability

For Christian ~EndenvOrers.
Rev. Francis E. Clark, u. D., LII. D..

n of the most important which it has
ever been my lot to send to the young
people Of the world" The call, which
Is for a three months evangelistic cam
paign, is as follows:
Why not have such a campaign In
every society, eliminating on Christian
Endeavor day In the first week in Feb

but comparatively few places, but there
are one or more Christian Endeavor So

lead Others to Christ and into the

to bis ability and opportunity. Is or
ought to lie an evangelist.
Now is the time of all times. The
summer vacation Is over. The activi-
ties of the society are in full operation.
The members are In their places. Now
II ever we al reach u associate
members and win them and others to
Christ. BY faithful effort we may have
a great ingathering in the week Of
prayer or on our Decision day in Feb
ruary.
But 1t will take persistent. thoughtful
effort. The society that does not pray,
plan, work and hope for a spiritual
awakening will not have one. The indi-
vidual who does not resolutely resolve
that he will do his part with Gods
help to bring about this spiritual quick.
ening will do nothing.
We have called this a three months

dened or hesitate to enter upon it by
reason of indefinite extension Of time.
