Training Its Mission,

Rev. DR.. Francis E. Clark in an ad.
dress at the st. Paul Christian En-.
deavor convention said:
The mission of the Christian En-.
deavor society is as plain as the sun
In the monday heavens. 1t was writ
ten in its first constitution, and it has
been acknowledged by the churches
throughout the world. That mission is
to be the training school of the church.
This training is along four great lines.
They might be called the -four majot
courses" of Christian Endeavor:
First-The expression of the Chris
tian life in deeds
Second.-lts expression in words.
Th1rd.-Its expression in loyalty.
Fourth.-lts expression in fellow
ship.
The boy who goes to college indi-
Gates his desire for an education. The
courses that he takes largely deter.
mine his future life. The boy who
joins the Christian Endeavor society
indicates his desire for a practical
Christian education. and the thorough
ness with which he takes its courses
will largely determine his usefulness
in the kingdom of God. All these
courses in our Christian Endeavor col.
lege in the nature of the case and by
reason of the constitution and require
ments of the human soul are compul-
sorry because necessary for the build
ing up of fully rounded. symmetrical
Christian character. None of them is
optional. The first course, the express
sion OF the Christian life In deeds,
finds its classrooms in our many COM
mittees; the second, expression in
words, is taught in our prayer meet
ing; the third. the expression of the
Christian life in loyalty, is learned In
all the multifarious services for the
church, and the fourth. the expression
of the Christian life In fellowship. is
taught in the ten thousand Christian
Endeavor conventions and union meet
fngs held every year throughout the
world.

But in thy digh., thoa changest 1t
To a thousand brighter things.
'Tis true thy progress layeth
Full many a loved one low,

But always near the couch of death
Nor thou, nor we, can stay:
And the breath Of thy departing wings
Dries all our tears awayl

CHRISTIAN Ell EAv0R
Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
Beainninn Jan. 6, 1913.


Topic.-The ideal Christian. i. His con-
secra sion-dark xii, .S-Sl. tConseeration
meeting) Edited by Rev. sherman H.
Doyle, d. ID.
The prsser meeting topics for the
conservation meetings for the year VIII
be devoted to study of the character
istics Of the ideal Christian. Such
study should arouse the interest Of
all Christian Endeayorers, for what
Endeavorer is there who does not de-
sire to be an ideal Christian? The
aim of every Christian should be to
reach the highest ideals possible in the
Christian life. To simply be a Chris
tan should not satisfy us. We should
desire to be the best possible Chris
tian, and we should ever in prayerful
dependence upon God aim to come as
near as possible to the likeness Of
Christ, our great ideal. Anything less
than this is unworthy one who has
surrendered his life to God in Christ
Jesus.
The conservation of the ideal Chris
tian may we'll be studied first in such
a SERIES The Christian life begins
with conservation. or the setting OF
ourselves apart for the service of God.
We dedicate things to God-houses of
worship. etc.-but we consecrate our
selves to God. If we have made
profession of Christianity we have by
that act solemnly and sacredly set our
selves apart for the service of God.
We have vowed that we will no longer
serve Satan or self or the world We
should try to realize what such an act
of conservation means and by the
grace of God attain to all that is in
cluded in it.
The conservation of the ideal Chris
tian must be full and complete. We
cannot give ourselves to God and hold
back anything from Him. Every part
of our being. every phase of our life
must be included In such consecra-
ton. We must 'love the Lord our God
with all our heart and with all our
soul and with all our mind and with
all our strength" Our affections must
be consecrated to God. Our minds
must be consecrated to Him. Our spir-
itual powers must be devoted to Him
and even our bodies. If we thus love
Him and serve Him our conservation
will be ideal.
To some people it may seem that
such conservation even to God is I'M
reasonable. But such is not the case
God has every claim upon u.s.. He
has created us. He preserves us and
He has redeemed US. We should there
fore look upon complete conservation
to God as "a reasonable service" and
should willingly and cheerfully conse-
crate ourselves to Him and to His serv-
ice.

The activity and spiritual life of a
church are gauged by its prayer meet
ing more than in any other one ther-
mometer. The activity and spiritual
life of the individual Christian are
gauged in the same way. 1t cannot be
a mere coincidence that the most ac-
tive and liberal Christian workers are
the prayer meeting Christians. There
must be here cause and effect. 1t is
a good test for any church to apply to
Its own life. Rev. Francis e. Clark,

thin in front, but now it is very thick, and
new hair in places which has been with out
