CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.



BY REV. 8. H. DOYLE.
Topic.-.Plgrim's Progress" series.-X.
Doubling castle.-Ps. xiii, Is; lxxiii. 1870;
! Kings xix. lis.
Doubling castle, one of the obstacles
In Christians progress, was owned and
ruled by Giant Despair. Christian and
Hopeful who was with him at that
time, slept one night on his grounds.
The giant, seeing them the next morn
ing. was very angry, threw them into
the prison Of the castle, gave them
nothing to eat and grossly mistreated
them, his wife, Difadence, suggesting
the methods Of torture 1t was sug-
gested that they take their own lives.
and Christian was % discouraged that
the temptation was strong upon him
to do 50. But Hopeful made him
ashamed Of such . suggestion; but 1t
again returned. only to be overcome
again by Hopeful's announcement At
last Christian thought Of the key Of
promise. which be possessed. opened
various doors with It and thus they
escaped.
The lessons to b learned from this
part of Bunyan's allegory are clearly
evident 1t IL to warn us against
doubts, however dark the way may ap-
pear in Life. and to put our trust In
God, who is at all times "our refuge
and strength, present help In time
Of trouble"
Christian, In despair, almost to the
point of self murder In Doubling cas-
tie, represents too many Christians
When all is bright and prosperous they
are happy Christians, but when the
way is dark and rough and hard they
sink into doubt and despair. Such
actions are strange contradictions. We
profess to believe In personal God
who is infinite In power. and yet the
moment life grows dark He means
nothing to us. Just at the moment
when we should lean hardest upon
Him we do not trust Him at all. II
faith is given to rs It Il especially for
the times when we are helpless and
need Gods help. But too often we
look at 1t the other way. Elijah was
strong In faith when battling against
the priests Of Baal. but when threat
ened by Jezebel he fell into despair
and asked God to let him die.
God has given MS no assurance that
we shall have no dark days in this
life. I'm this life ye shall have tribu.
laions," says Christ II we believe
Him, let us not be troubled and wor.
ried with doubts when they come. Let
us use the key Of promise set forth
In the words that followed: "Be Of
good cheer; l have overcome the
world" So shall we, but not by doubt
and mistrust Of God He viii either
keep trouble from US or keep us In
the hour of trouble. There is key OF
promise in the Scriptures for every
trouble and affection Let us find II
and open all doors of Doubling castle

Our Technical School.

Recent years have seen a vast devel-
opment in the education of the hand
In connection with the brain. Manual
training has been introduced into pub
lie schools. There are manual arts high
schools alongside the old type Of high
schools, and the schools Of technology
are rapidly coming to equal rank with
the colleges and universities Of the
arts Now, all this should have its
parallel in religion. The Christian En-
deavor society was the first to take
up the idea and apply 1t to the reli-
gious training Of young Christians.
Our prayer meetings are where we
learn to speak for Christ. Our COM
mittees are where we learn to do other
kinds of work for Him. The society
that allows its committee work to de-
generate win soon have no prayer
meeting worth the name Training In
committee work u training in Chris
tan cooperation A committee must
pun together. This Il something very
necessary to learn II one il to labor
successfully in the church. Training

ership. The trained committee worker

makes him q most valuable worker In
the church when be grows up. Train

best way to do everything and that
usually It IL incomparabiy better than
ever the second best way Of doing the
same thing. The committee trains one
In patience. It trains one In ingenuity.
It trains one in perseverance. II trains
one to look for definite results, and II
shows one how to get them It trains
