Loyalty"


trict League Conference held at La
Belle by Miss Nell Landers of Mon
roe City.
Loyalty is one of the cardinal
traits of moral character. 1t is
commanded by our Lord in the par
able Of the Unjust Steward. 1t does
not exist apart from some definite
thing. If it is a mere sentiment
apart from some concrete express
ion, it is a dangerous delusion.
If the League cause has taken it
up and acknowledge its claim upon
US, unfaithfulDess in any part of our
duty to the League will work sep
aration and dissertation between
what we do and what we know to
be our duty, between the will and
the conscience and it will injure both
There being no good reason to the
contrary, each one of our young
people is bound to be loyal to the
Epworth League. The special rea-
son for this loyalty is that the
League is their own. They are the
beneficiaries of it as we'll as the
church at large and they are charg-
ed with its maintenance. Another
reason for loyalty, is the fact that it
has been so great a factor in the
development of the church. A new
life and a broader outlook in mis-
sions and other lines of endeavor
that are the signs of the new awak-
ening, are in no small degree due to
the educative work of the EpWorth
League. Our young people owe the
truest loyalty to the League for
what it has done.
There is one word above all 9TH
erS which is most fitting for the Ep-
worth League. That word is. Now"
Now is the time to be and do. To
the League as an organization it is
the time to move in concrete step
toward a conquest OF the present
youth of our church.
All life implies growth. This is
Just as true in the spiritual as well
as the physical. Everything that has
life must grow or decay. God inn
plants the germ of eternal life within
us, but does not slothfully leave it
to grow or decay. His designs is
that all the traits of Christian char
acter shall grow up in US. For this
growth He has given us opportuni-
ties or failure would follow. 1t is in
the League that we have the best
opportunity for self-development
and culture. Nowhere else will we
find such a blend of influences for
the moulding of true Christian
character. Where is there a better
place to study Gods word than in
our Bible study circle? 1t is here
that we may learn to speak for our
Lord. From the beginning the Ep-
worth League has stood for the pure
Methodist doctrines, 1t has always
emphasized the need of spiritual
experience
Religion is the most important
thing in all the world Because il
is so important, how necessary it is
that the young life of our church
should be trained to be religious
There is no we'll rounded manhood
that leaves God out. This is pur
I pose for which the League was or
ganized, to help young people t
take God into their lives and to ex-
k tend the kingdom of Heaven. There
r is only one purpose for which W,
are living; to gain a character lik,

MT John Thompson, in commenting g though his family had had to wait for books, he could not believe that un- fair methods were pursued. and stated that his family had frequent occasion to visit the building, and found all classes assembled there He therefore was led to conclude that a welcome was extended to all.
 Radford B.
