Belief In the Movement.

believe in Christian Endeavor be-
cause it is the thing that is needed in
the church. Nothing has yet been de-.
vised that can take its place. The Sun
day school is the place where the
young are taught the principles and
the lessons of the Bible, but the Chris
tian Endeavor society is the place
where they are given the opportunity
to put these principles into practice.
They are not only given the oppor-
tunity; they are organized into COM
mittees for the express purpose to
show them how they may serve the
Lord Christ. Just as industrial edu-
cation makes better wcrkmen so does
Christian Endeavor. which is the prac-
tice school of the church. make more
efficient Christians.
! believe in Christian Endeavor be-
cause it is trying to bridge the gap
between the Sunday school and church
membership. | believe In it because
Of Its hope. because of the ideal of
service 1t presents. because of its 10y
atty to the church, because of its 10y
atty to the denomination and because
of Its broad fellowship with all that
love the Lord Jesus.-Rev. R. P. An

A Mission by Moonliqht.

The moon is cold: the ocean air is chill:
Alone with lonely owls the mission
stands.
The staring belfry towering on the sands
That hold In Serras grave the ever still
Repose Of mighty labors-love and will
In rest profound. where once the brood
ing bands
OF dark souled beings lifted UP their
hands
TO God and heard the angel voices thrill.
Mute are the bells that called the nights
Of old.
Forever lost the chanted melody
That mingled with the sounding OF the
sea.
The lofty moon through clouds of windy
Nocks In her silver faith their vanished
gold.
The altar lights Of warmth and mystery.

Paradise.
Within each heart there lies, apart
From all its cares and sorrows.
A paradise which knows no sighs-
A world of happy morrows;
heaven Of light unknown to blight
OF winter bleak and dreary,
Whose days are long, and sweet with song
Whose hours are never weary.
What matter though earth's pathways glow
No more with spriugtime glsdnessf
What If each June has fiown too soon
And left a look of sadnesg
No real love so true will prove,
No tones one-half so tender,
No lips so pure as those which lure
The soul to visioned splendor.

One of my friends here has handed me an
old almanac of 1850, and this is the thirty -hfth
number. The first number must have been
printed six years before Washington was
born. On page of it is the following verse:
"Mars, like an Internal Fury, stalks,
And marks his steps in Blood where'er he
walks;
But Peace would from her Native Heaven de-
scend,
And Olive Branches to the Nations lend"
We've had a nice meat stew for dinner, and
have topped off on cookies with raisins set in
them. This is called warm day, but 1 am
