Several who led In prayer. at no distant

Even the Buddhists are trying to adopt
our western methods. hoping to reV1vlfy
their dead faith, but there is no life
there. They have no living Savior. and
their religion cannot satisfy the crav-

her prayer meetings without objection.

About the opening of 1901 in the school
founded by Fidelia Fiske more than sixty
years ago in Persia, seventy-f1ve students
organized a Christian Endeavor Society.
When vacation came they wondered how
they would get on without their meetings,
and each determined to form little So
ciety at her home. Some of these societies
thus formed were merely a few girls
gathered in the home of one of them or
under some tree working for Christ with
the hope of some day also working for a
church, with others whose homes were In

One of the first Christian Endeavor So

Sunday, February Z. 1909.
Topic: ''Our Christian Endeavor Comrades the
World Over" christian Endeavor day. Psalm
xcviii:1-9.
0, sing unto the Lord a new song, for
He hath done marvellous things: His
right hand and His holy arm hath gotten
Him the victory. The Lord hath made
! known His salvation, His righteousness
hath He openly Showed in the sight of
| the heather all the ends Of
| the earth have seen the salvation of our
| God.
1t seems as # we Christian Endeavor-
ers should put this psalm to music and
sing 1T out on this anniversary day in
joyful notes Of praise.
But few years ago it was said every
where, christian Endeavor is on the
decline. 1t has had its day and done
its work, and will soon die out"
Some who had great faith and others
who knew whereof they spoke and could
tell of the quiet work that was going
on abroad, said: wait and see! This
country has been swept by enthusiasm
and stirred to the working point. and
nowtit is travelling to other lands And
then the scoffers would admit that per-
haps Christian Endeavor might be of
value elsewhere, but at home its time
was past. But now, Lo! Look abroad!
Behold! as the wave sweeps back from
the other shores and touches us our OWL
societies are Springtng into new life
everywhere. Churches whose societies
had almost died out are suddenly being
made to realize that there Is such a
thing as Christian Endeavor alive vet
The Juniors have been growing up and
given new lffe and old members are re-
turning because. forsooth, Christian En-
deavor is becoming popular again! What
a glorious thing that is 1T so! Ought we
not to sing aloud and shout the saliva
ton Of our God? And, now, let our
hearts thrill with the thought of our
Christian comrades the world over, who
are rising up to make of us a great
army that shall help to bring the king
dom In.
Last August there was a great Chris
tian Endeavor convention held in India
