h RS is deeper understanding, and
Is ffener knowledge of the respon-
Ns,ies and duties of every pro-

I'D. we need an unlimited knowledge
Of the kingdom of Jesus Christ, and
also an insight into the things per-
tanning to our every day life. Third
we need zeal and enthusiasm, which
IS necessary In the production OF
IDEAS aud the obtaining Of good re-
suits.
The first thing 1t is necessary for
he oflcers TO do is TO PLACE in the
minds of all the members a realiza-
Jon of their obligations and duties.
TO get the members all so interested,
that they will all be ready and will

society Is to hold a rally. notifying
all the members whose names are
still on the roll. and have a separate
'evening set aside with a pleasing pro-

pne realize that they are responsible
sor the success of the work. Each
member should have some one deh-

anough work for every one. and the
work should be accomplished
fhrough the different committees.
The committees should be careful
