The Real value of Sheen.

The census report cannot give the
real value Of sheep. Outside of the
value of sheep as producers Of meat
and wool, there is benefit conferred
by them to land. Pastures occupied
by sheep become richer every year,
and bushes, weeds and briars, which
so readily grow where they are not
desired, are kept down by sheep and
their places occupied by grass. The
poorest kind of land, II given up to
sheep. even if it is necessary to allow
feed to them, will be made productive
in few years.

Tribute to Christian Endeavor.

l wish to make my brief message
one of testimony. Seven of our Con-
gregational leaders have recently
voiced their sentiments in the follow
ing hearty words: The history of
twenty-seven years shows that, given
fair trial. with sympathetic leader
ship, Christian Endeavor comes nearer
meeting the needs of the young people
of our churches than any other move
ment ever has and nearer than any
other present organization is likely
to do
After twelve years pastoral expert
ence with the Christian Endeavor So
ciety l can give this statement my
most hearty Endorsement.
During the past year it has been my
privilege as general secretary to be en-
gagged in the work of the Congrega-
tional Brotherhood Of America. 1t has
been my delight to discover as l have
gone from the Atlantic seaboard to
the Pacific coast that among the most
aggressive of our thirty-two national
officers | find many who had years Of
training in local and union Christian
Endeavor work. The readiness Of their
response In this first year Of our or
ganization is due in large part to Their
training In organized Christian En-
deavor.
The present day developments Of
church organizations are in no case a
substitute for Christian Endeavor.
Many OF them are to be welcomed as
supplements. In the evolution Of or
ganization in the modern church we
may ind some adjustments necessary,
but am quite sure that we shall find
no excuse for lessened activity in the
promotion Of Christian Endeavor for
Christ and the church. Rev. Frank
Dyer In Christian Endeavor World.
