A CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR

Daniel A. Polling, the young field sec

period of three years, and announcing
that 1t is not so much a Christian En-
deavor enterprise as a temperance one
have placed the direction of the cam
paign under Endeavor auspices The
United Society of Christian Endeavor has
accepted the work, and has issued a call
to the thousands of Endeavor societies
in all churches to cooperate.
The new secretary was the Prohibition
party candidate for Governor Of Ohio
last year and increased the party vote
ffvefold. An original Endeavorer, he de-
clared in the Prohibition canvass that
there ought to be common direction of
forces against the saloon, using young
people as the working force, and said
that such campaign would do for young
people just what the college movement
has done for college students. He is
now enabled, by action of his friends, to
enter upon the task Of putting his ideas
to the test.
At the regular election of officers Of the
District of Columbia Christian Endeavor

reason for the selection of that name

RELIGION AND SOCIAL SERVICE
SOCIAL SPIRIT IN THE
SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS
BY Rev. VIM. e. GARDNER.

BY Rev. VIM. Z. GARDNER.
In an investigation in which
a number of students were asked
II they could remember what
they enjoyed most in Sunday
school. the most frequent an
swer was: II liked to go to Sun
day school because I was with
other children" The utilization
of the social instinct by the Sun
day school is fundamental to its
success. Children at an early
age begin to desire a place In
the social fabric. As they de-
sire food and exercise. so they
gravitate to any opportunity
where there is a chance to act
and react upon those OF their
own age. and thereby build their
characters.
The class teacher should keep
ever in mind not alone the de-
velopment of the individual child
but the development OF the So
Q cial consciousness which the
class is producing. The social
development in a class depends
on class spirit, and this grows
best from the class engaging as
a class In some enjoyable and in
teresting activity. The class as
a class must go out, in deed and
in Imagination, over the world
and attain certain ends.s
In order to accomplish this,
the traditional idea of using
money brought by the scholars
to pay the Sunday school ex-
penses must be eliminated and
the gifts OF the children used
for educational ends. No one
can prophesy the advantage that
would come to the children II
for the next ten years all OF the
money contributed by them Sum
day by Sunday were used in edu-
eating them in stewardship.
Let the class know that all
money brought becomes class
property. The class can spend
that money in any way 1t
chooses, providing every cent is
spent in helping some one or in
making some one happy.
