A model Endeavorer should be sim
cere in everything. Mean everything
you say even II YOU can't say every
thing you mean. Be sincere in all your
purposes and actions as we'll as in
words. If you have the gift of fiowery
speech, don't talk just TO hear your
self. but talk as though Christ were
in that audience and He were listen
ing to every word you say. Don't
go to church so that you can see a
friend or so that You may show Off
your clothes Go there to worship
God and go there in that spirit Be
sincere in your appointments. A great
fault of young people in. general to-day
is the lightness with which they es-
TEEN their promises to do a thing. II
you tell your leader that you will do
something, don't let anything interfere /
with your doing it. In your social en-
gagements be sincere, and let it apply |
TO your business or school life asj /
we'll
Be regular in your attendance for /
there is nothing that gives encourage
ment to those in charge as faithfulness. |
This applies not only TO Christian En- |
deavor. but TO your work or school. /
Just because you have a headache or |
are not feeling quite up to the stand
ard do not stay home from work. Be
strong enough to overcome these |
things. and don't give up until you
positively have to. Be punctual in
getting to your work. Just because
the boss don't say anything when you
come in q few minutes late, don't make
a regular habit of it, for he notices
the ones that come i'm on time and
they are usually the best workers and
/ in the straightest line for promotion.
A model Endeavorer must be model
/ Christian. He must pin his faith on
/ Christ, sacrificing himself for the glory
l Of the cause For Christ and the
! Church is our motto and TO this we
can add mot l. but Christ" When
YOU do something particularly brilliant
remember that 1t is not you but Christ
working through you and thank Him
that He is using YOU as an instrument
Before we can enter into the full joy
of Christ we must give up self entirely
and let Jesus be all In all. Put your
faith in Him and He will care for you
even as He has cared for millions be-
fore you.
Always be cheerful for Christ does
not want you to be going around with
a face a yard long. If the day is cold
and dark and dreary, why remember
that Christ is behind those clouds and
when they are all swept away you will
sec Him as He is. Let hope spring
eternal in your breast. It will en-
courage you when you are disheartened
and make YOU look forward TO a bright
CT day If it were not for hope what
would the life of a Christian amount

better things that we strive here on
earth. Never know defeat no matter
how hard you are thrown in the cause
Of Christ and He will see that in the
end victory with crown is yours.

humanity. Love is the greatest of
passions and must be strong in every
Christians heart in order to make that
life amount to much. 1t was for love
that He died on the cross and rose
gain And is it on account of love
that place is prepared for us in our
Fathers House. The great command
nents that Jesus gave US Love tho
Lord thy God with all thy heart and
with all thy mind" and Love thy
neighbor as thyself." both have love
as the keynote, and it is on this that
Christianity is based. Mohammadism
says "l<ill all unbelievers.' Jesus
says Love thy enemies. bless them
that hate ye." with such great love
as this given to us should not we love
our neighbors as Christ has asked2 IL
may seem pretty hard sometimes TO
, forgive some offenses, but Christ would
do it. 1t is pretty hard TO love the
person that laughs at you and says
things that cut deep, but on the cross
Christ prayed that those who were kill
ing Him might be forgiven for they
knew not what they did. II Christ did
so much fer us it is as little as we can
do Go do His will on earth. Remember
, the great verse, For God so loved
the world that He gave His only be-
I gotten Son that whosoever believed on
! Him might not perish, but have ever
! lasting life.
!. Dear Lord we ask Thee to instill in
us those properties which will make
us more faithful servants Of Thee. we
pray that we may be given more
strength to do thy will in the Christian
/. Endeavor meeting and in the shop an6
II school. Bless our work and let it brini
h results in the Kingdom. This we asl
Y. in Jesus Name Amen.
