CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
IN THREE DECADES
BY Amos r. Wells

adopted by the young people as ttseii
goal
] These decades have exalted tn
prayer meeting as an unexcelled field
J for the training and exercise Of Chris
tan abilities, for winning souls ,fol
discovering powers, for widening hori
IONS.
These decades have seen mar
llaus extension Of the practical
work Of young Christians, who now en-
ter as q matter of course upon under
takngs missionary, civic, evangelis
lie. charitable, social. financial-which
all men, thirty years ago, wculd have
thought impossible fer tham.
The strong currents Of Christian
unity are tending manifestly toward
some mighty and effective association
of all Christ's churches, and the hear
ty and efficient cooperation RI the
young people Of the churches in Chris
tan E1deavor an'ons and great or
small Christian Endav conventions
through these thirty years has been a
powrful factor in produ ling this good
feeling.
The manifest tendency is also to-
ward the abolition OF war and the es-
taElishment of a world executive and
a world justice as be1eficent and effec-
tive as the national governments. To
ward this also Christian Endeavor has
contributed nightly by its large and
intimate international relations,-larg-
or. more Intimate. and Of longer dur
alton than those of any other insttu-
ton whatever.
All of this growth and progressive
influence Of Christian Endeavor dur
ing these thirty years has been due
manifestly TO the favor Of God.
The handful of workers at head
quarters, destitute Of funds save what
they might themselves earn, have
been plainly inadequate to produce
these vast results.
Christian Endeavor has prospered
because of the unpaid service of mil
lions a. young people and their devot-
cd pastors
It has prospered because it is found
ed upon universal pr. Aciples.
1t trusts. the young people, AMI they
perpetuate and extend it.
Ministers and church officers direct
the society. but DO net need to spend
their time and strength in continually
urging and pushing it. 1t has self
moving and self-propagating powers.
The future is bright before Chris
tan Endeavor. The second thirty
years will be better even than the
first. Christ and the church have
great things to accomplish in those
waiting decades, and they will find
Christian Endeayor a waiting and ODE

The Society Of Christian EndeaTo'
as now just thirty years old.
1t il ready and glad to give an ac-
count Of itself.
Three decades ago the young person
who would or could take part II a
prayer meeting was indeed rare, and
the Welcome for him was still more
rart
Today there are many millions Of
vuung people who are able and glad to
bear public testimony for Jesus Christ
and the faith.
THREE decades ago organized reli-
2ious work By young people was spor-
Adic. sparse, discouraged and d'scour-
aging A few pastors, here and there,
were making a success of it. but these
attempts were not fading many imita-
7sors.
Today church without an active
young peoples religious society is con
sidered to be lacking IN an essential,
and falling Of a duty as well as an OPP
gortunity.
These changes. so Significant so
hopsful, are due to Gods nurturing
care Of the seed which He led Dr.
CLARK to plant in Wiliston Church
shirty years ago.
Not a year since that time but has
seen a substantial growth in numbers;
md that growth continues, never so
strikingly as in the thirtieth year.
Not year of these thirty but has
added to the confidence If the
churches in this noble new instrument
falify for Christian training, until this
tbirtieth year finds hostile criticism
at its lowest ebb, and an earnest re
I'd taking its place.
The thirty years have brought the
enrolment Of 5000 societies and
nearly four million members
They have won for the society a re-
option into more than eighty denomi-
nations, in mcst of which it is the
,enly young peoples religious organi-
cation.
They have established the society in
all parts of the earth, translated its
literature into all the leading and
most of the subordinate languages
and proved its perfect adaptabi!ity to
he needs of all races
These thirty years have developed
4he original society for young people
Till it now includes Juniors, Interme-
dates, and Seniors and have enlarg-

WAR RECORDS ARE
TO Be RECORDED
If The Final Efforts Of Congressman
sturgiss Are Successful
Steel Mail Cars.

Washington, d. c.. Jan "a
Congressman Sturgiss is making a
special effort to have war records
corrected in several cases in his dis
trict before his term in Congress ex-
pres and has addressed a letter TO
the House committee on pensions
asking special attention for them.
Among the cases are the following:
The widow of Urias Bolyard, mar
RED man named Pell, of Newburg.
VINO died. She applied for a pen
sion as widow of Bolyard only to
find that he was charged with de.
sertion. Mr.. Srurgiss wants the
charge removed.
Willis o.. Cross, OF Morgantown,
is shown to have actually served in
the Union army, but as he was never
officially mustered out, he cannot
get a pension.
James Edwards was wounded in
the war, sent to hospital and when
able to get out found his way back
home. He is charged with de-
sertion.
William d. Garner, of Terra Alta,
asks to be relieved of a dishonor-
able discharge.
James Irwin, alias Williamson, of
Bayard, was drafted for the in
fantry but enlisted in the cavalry
instead, and is charged with de-
sertion.
Louis f. Upwright, alias Ludwig
Rupprecht, of Hampers Ferry, was
discharged twice, after two enlist
ments. Both discharges are held by
the War Department to be forgeries.
While John Lyons, of Martins
burg, vas on furlough the war
endsd. He never returned to head
quarters and is charged with de-
sertion.
Jacob Mallow, of Keyser, was sick
and on a furlough. When he re-
covered he was separated from his
regiment but enlisted in state or
ganization till the end of the war.
He is charged with desertion.
Jacob Kenser, of Keyser, has a
case similar to Jacob Mallow's.
Lieutenant BENJAMIN S. McDon-
aid, OF Maysville, was given fur
Tough for sickness and ordered net
to report until further notice. He
never received further notice and is
now charged with desertion.
Steel Mail Cars.
Congressman Hughes has introduced
q bill providing that all new railway
cars intended for carrying mail shall
be constructed entirely OF steel and
N the latest and most modern pat
tern He will also endeayor to
amend the postffice appropriation
bill, so as to provide that no part
of the appropriation of $4,000, 900
Tor carrying mails shall be paid to
railroads which do not agree to
build all their new mail cars of
steel
MIR. Hughes cites a case on the
Norfolk and Western railroad in
West Virginia where in wreck
during last Christmas week four
postal clerks were killed, all CT
whom were riding in wooden cars,
which were crushed. He thinks the
only way to protect the postal
clerks is to give them steel cars.
