make a covenant with God! 1t is not
barter or human agreement whereby
we hope to receive a return for wha
We give. Rather is it complete con-
secratiOn whereby and wherein the
man throws himself upon God, whom
he trusts and in whose promises he
knows he can rest even as the weary
body rests upon tmpregnable noun
tains. Vows or pledges are spoken of
In the Bible many times. especially in
the Psalms. They seem to form an es-
sential part Of religion. for when we
join the church we pledge ourselves by
the very stand we take to endeavor to
love and obey God and trust In the
redemption Of Christ. In baptism. in
the confession of our faith in the ac
acknowledgement of our sins and of our
need of One who can help us, We
virtually promise to love and serve
and trust Just as in every huma n
claspine Of the hand. in every morn
ing greeting. in every ordinary rela-
tionship Of life, we give and receive
give our pledge of loyalty and love and
receive like pledge from him with
whom we have to do. We hardly
realize how many vows we are daily,
hourly. making in our business and in
our pleasure The carfare we pay on
entering trolley, the check we sign
when we pay bill, the receipt we give
when we receive wage. the signature
to letter. the goodnight kiss given
to child-a1l these are vows without
which true living would be impossible
and by which men are bound together
for mutual protection and service. Tha
men make foolish promises Is no argu-
ment against true promises That
pledges to do. evil are given. which
ought in honor to be broken. cannot
lessen the necessity and the sacredness
of real pledges made from an honest
heart and relied upon in the exigencies
of human existence. And when these
pledges are made to our God. who
created and loves US. to Christ who
redeemed and blesses us. they become
the golden bands holding us to the in
visible Friend and assuring us of His
unaltering and unalterable care since
He changes not. but is the same yes
terday and today. yea and forever"

until today 1T is furnishing practically all
Of the recruits for the ministry and the
mission field for it's particular church
Its history is like that of Zion of old
for as Zion was not the result OF a sim
gle effort, but of generations of achieve
ment. so the Epworth League in its pres
ent strength is the result of the ANA J.
gamation Of all the young peoples So
cieties' Of the church-first focusing in
the Oxford League" and then renamed
as the result of an accident. and gather
ing new force from the inspiration OF it's
enlarged usefulness.
Three thoughts come to us as the re-
suit Of the consideration OF the Scrip
ture and the theme:
First. The consideration of history as
prophecy. The best evidence that We
can possess of Gods approval and the
most inspiring promise that We can have
for the future is the fact that He has
blessed us in the past. The reading of
the histories of the growth of the young
peoples societies of the various great
denominations will for all time set at
rest the pessimistic prophecies concern
ing the future.
Second. The examinations of the causes
Of this success. One look at the emblem
Of the Epworth League Is an inspiration
to the follower of Christ: An encircled
cross. surrounded by the words Look
effort here are faith and love: here is
the daring program that charms and
challenges the best in youth and fits it for
nobler future.
Third The future of the church is
bound up in it's youth. Unless the rising
generation is wiser, purer more earnest
than this, the world will be no better In
the pure and hopeful fountain Of its
newborn generations is the hope of
church and state. In the casting aside
of Outworn theories and pitiful plans by
daring youth does the race rise. The
church that nurtures. equips and uses it's
youth has nothing to fear. for God will
continue to bless the cause whose pro-
gram includes His exaltation and the lift
ing of the race
