MEMORABLE SESSION.
Christian Endeavor Meeting at Chris
tiania, Norway, Shows Great Growth.

Undoubtedly one of the most memo
rabIe Of all Christian Endeavor conven-
tons is the one that recently closed its
sessions in Christiania, Norway. Some
account Of this meeting has already
been given by Mr.. R. w. Davies, the
treasurer of the British Christian En-
deavor union, but the following facts
are CLEANED from very full and inter-
esting account by Pastor Meyer of
Christiania, who, with Pastor Klaeboe.
has stood in the forefront of Christian
Endeavor leaders of Europe during the
last seven years.
To those who have followed from the
beginning the story of Christian En-
deavor in Europe the account of such
a meeting as the convention IN Chris
tiania seems nothing short of marvel
GUS. When DIR. Clark first went to
Norway, some sixteen years ago. though
he was invited by some Of the profes-
sors of the university. he found little 10
encourage him as to any future growth
of the society in the land of the VI
kings. While little interest was mani
Tested, there was much skepficism CON
corning the society politely yeiIed IN
der the kindly courtesy Of his hosts.
For years after that, though the seed
had been sown. there seemed little
prospect Of harvest. but seven years
ago the two earnest pastors who have
already been named saw the possibili-
ities of Christian Endeavor. its adapta-
bility to Norwegian soil as to the soil
OF every other country where it is
planted and cultivated in the right
way, and from that time TO this the
history of Christian Endeavor among
The descendants of the mortimer has
been one of steady progress.
THE Lord opened the doors for US
everywhere" writes Pastor Meyer,
.and 1t became evident that our work
for the religious wants and training
of the youth for Christ and the church
had gained a much larger sympathy
than we knew before
The motto of the convention was
most appropriate. PRO Christie Eu-

Prayer Meeting Topic For Week Be-
ginning April s, 1918.


Topic.-The ideal Christian. ~ His
humility. Xxx, 2O-5S. tCousecration
meeting) Edited by Rev. Sherman H.
Doyle, D. D.
Humility is one of the most beauti-
tian character and must necessarily
be possessed by the ideal Christian. At
the same time it is In some respects
one of the most difficult of the Chris
tan graces to cultivate and develop.
The ambitious. spirit is naturally large
within us and written large in all the
world about us.
The world usually practices anything
else than humility. and it seems more
often to bestow its favors upon the
proud and self assertive rather than
upon the humble in spirit and in life.
Being human. It is therefore no easy
thing even for Christians to develop
the spirit of humility to the extent
that they shonld. This spirit of the
world had its effect upon Salome, the
mother of James and John. and led
her to ask Christ to give them high
place in His kingdom. and if she and
they as we'll fell under this spell of the
world we need to guard ourselves
against the same temptation.
The spirit of humility. although diff
cult of cultivation. should be priced
and sought after. 1t is most pleasing
to God. God loveth the humble. but
He knoweth the proud afar off. and
He keeps them afar off Only by hum
bling ourselves can we ever enter into
the kingdom of God The humble only
shall dwell with God, for He says, 81
will dwell In the high and holy place
with him also that is of contrite and
humble spirit. to revive the spirit of
the humble and to revive the heart of
the contrite ones blessed" says
Christ, "are the poor in spirit. for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven"
There are several facts. the renem-
brance of which should assist us in de-
veloping humility. First, the conse-
quences of pride and ambition. Pride
goeth before destruction" History Is
replete with illustrations and proofs of
this fact The angels fell through
PROUD aIuD1uoU- anu lDe uoWHIdIi VI
thousands can be traced to the same
cause. Second. the teaching and ex-
ample of Christ. Christ taught humil-
fly. He here declared, whatsoever
will be great among you let him be
your minister, and whosoever will be
chief among you let him be your serv~
ant" Humble service is the badge of
Christian greatness and not high posi-
tion.
Christ practiced humility. Even as
the Son of Man came not to be minis
tered unto, but to minister and to give
His life ransom for many" In these
words Christ adduced His own exam
pie of profound humility. Though
equal with God, He took upon Himself
the lowliest life of man and was ever
active in ministering to others. and as
a crowning example of His humility
He gave Himself ransom for lost and
ruined men. Such teaching and exam
pie should inspire US to cultivate the
same spirit of humble service. Third,
Humiliation and not ambition lead TO
exaltation. Through His humiliation
Christ was exalted. So it must be with
all Christians.

PLEA FOR MILL AND HER BIG FAMILY.
Dear NJ. BIS:
AS ii is near house-cleaning and the looking
over and wondering what to do" with this
and that garment that is too good to throw
away, and is outgrown by your own little
ones, let me hint to you that our Nell is at
present like ''the old woman who lived in
shoe, with so many children she didn't know
what to do". Her family numbers about
thirty, ages from an infant-yes, several Of
them three months old-to boys and girls
twelve and perhaps older, and more expected
any day.
The question is: wherewithal shall they
be clothed, as the clothes are nearly all given
by charityf Now, whoever has anything and
wants to try the parcel-post, just do up a
bundle and send TO the Maine children's
Home society, Augusta. Me. Nothing will
come amiss. Those blankets that have grown
thin or small will be nice to wrap those
babies in; shoes, stockings, or anything. A
thought came to me that each one bring some
thing to the next reunion to make up a sur
prise box for Nell. expect to go there again
soon, and would carry some things.
A few weeks ago was at bargain-counter
and saw an infants dress for ten cents.
could not resist buying it. My sister said:
What will you do with it?' / sent it to Nell.
She told me about as soon as it got there she
had call TO dress a baby for a woman to take
TO her home. That dress just fitted in.
/ hope Nell can take little vacation and
attend the reunion next summer; then we all
would feel more as IL she was really one of us.
Let us gladden. her heart by our help till she
will want to see us face to face. DELL.
