would only ask you to enter the doors
Of God open to us.
We have become in the broadest
sense, more than ever during these
two YEARS past an international or
ganization. In every land beneath
the sun the name Christian En-.
deavor" is known, and its phciples
are acknowledged Almost without
knowing it, certainly without much
human guidance, we have become a
worldwide brotherhood that embraces
every race and region.
What, then is more natural or more
important than that we should stand
in every land for the fellowship of
the nations and the peace OF the
.worlsls What Organization has a bet
ter chance or a more imperative call
to unite the future leaders of the re.
ligioGs world In pact that can never
be broken by the hideous god of war?
This is peculiarly the year TO press
the peace idea. President Taft has
uttered his ringing note that has
aroused the echoes in every land Sir
Edward Grey and the leaders of both
great English parties have seconded
his brave words. Endeavorers In
many lands have expressed their graf
itrde that some statesman dare refer
avery question of national import to
srbitration. British Endeavorers are
peculiarly enthusiastic over the posi-
bilities of compact which shall unite
Tnglish-speaking peoples in an indisA
soluble treaty Let this Convention

let these two years to come mark a
great advance the world over In pro

relations to every nation and denomi.
nation, but Its relations to state, coun,
ty, and city are equally important.
An Endeavorer must never forget that
he is a citizen, and he Is not a good
Endeavorer unless he Is a good citi-
zen. Our State and local unions are
every year growing In value and in
1fiuence, and should receive the wis
est and most energetic guidance.
But unions for world, nation. state,
city, or county are but expressions of
our fellowship, and furnish us oppor-
tunities for united service The most
important work of The individual En-
deavorer is done in his own society.
under the direction of his own church
and pastor.
Shall these, then, be our ambitions
and our efforts for the fbiennium which
is before us?
