Has Called Ten Million
Anniversary of Christian EndeavOr
Shows Marvellous Progress
During 80 Years.
VlfIE-nr.n NIL

~ HE Young Peoples societies topic
for February marks the 33d
birthday anniversary of the
Christian Endeavor society.
It looks back upon generation OF
time which has seen at least 10000
600 young people pass through the
portals of this organization Of young
people in the churches.
The simple fact of the magnitude of
the movement is worth musing upon.
It has fulfilled the first condition Of
great influence, by being in contact
with a large number of individual
lives The direct touch of Christian
Endeavor has been felt by millions
Of boys and girls, young men and
young women. Another secret of the
potency of this huge movement has
been the widespread distribution of
it's members. The Christian Endeavor
flag flies on all continents.
Almost every tongue spoken today
by mankind is heard in solemn utter
ance of the Christian Endeavor pledge.
Wherever Christian missions have

himself but a sinner saved by grace And
by the same token we need to forgive
that door leads into the likeness of God.
The Story Telling Teacher.
Whatever is well doing at all, is worth
keeping on doing. Persistence brings more
than brilliancy in any market That men
should pray without ceasing," Jesus taught
by the story of the ma who WenC 70 a
friend at midnight for bread, to feed way
faring guests. The friend was sleepy, and
lay, with his whole family, on the common
up for the night. So he cried out-the east
still has no social prescriptions against
screaming messages lOudly-that he could
not grant the request But the neighbor
persisted, with din that reused the house .
holders near by; and at length, TO still the
disturbance and secure a friendly neighbor
got up and gave the three loaves that were
desired.
The story teaches by contrast. If that is
churlsh mans way, how much better is
the gracious heavenly Fathers way2 Even
from this inadequate parallel learn, said
Jesus, to keep on asking until you receive.
Mans Importantly gives God an opportunity.
God viii give you what you really seek; for
He is better than an earthly father. How
ever, like other parents He loves to be
asked by His children for gifts.
Without prayer the relations between God
and man grow distant and formal and joy
less As one has said, God quickly fades
out Of the life that forgets to pray" The law
of prayer is beyond the natural order; but
it is law Of the spiritual life which may
not be broken without disaster.

gone, this form of church work has
been carried. Thus, as we cOntem-
plate the immensely of the Organiza-
ton whose birthday is now cOmmem-
GRATED, we understand that in this
simple fact of bigness lies power for
good.
Is 4 Proved Agency.
OF the really surprising aspects of
the present Christian EndeaVOr cOndi
tons, none is more surprising than
that the churches and denominations
do not make greater use of this proved
agency for reaching and developing
young people in Christian character
and activity. There is no department
Of church affairs more deserving of
close and systematic attention than
this
Many a pastor and church official
would be kept from growing old if he
were to cultivate a closer and more
sympathetic relation with the young
people of the church. I know . one
minister who has been more than so
years pastor of one church; and he
was recently, and may continue to be
president of the local Christian En-
deavOr Union. This fact sheds light
on the state of mind which has caused
my friend to bring forth fruit in old
age. The man who loses his touch
with youth is in clear sight of the
dead line"
One Of the Reasons.
One of the clear reasons why Chris
tian Endeavor has won such wide
favor is that it is rooted deep in the

The best training a young lawyer or doc

Of Jesus got their kingdom ideas (rather
slowly, il is true, for they were unprOmis-

Naturally, he taught them to pray for the
coming Of that kingdom to which he had
given his life. To enter the Masters school

be fired by kingdom ambition. That is the

Bread and Cake Food.
I have heard that the Russian version Of
the ideal prayer carries with it, in the Pc
uuon for daily bread, the idea OF some con-
diTnent along with the bread. Well, that is
the way Christendom's prayers have been
answered Very few persons in our land and
time know what it is to subsist on the bare
necessities Of life. God has given Us bread
well buttered, and cake also. The daily
prayer, expressed in trustful petition and in
faithful labor, for our supply Of food has
been abundantly answered. Also the spirit
of brotherhood has grown under the in
nuence of the teaching Of Our Father" so
that whoever is in real need has but to make
known his wants to have them met
Wise indeed is this plan for having all
men everywhere pray daily that their com
mon needs may be met That tie links chill
dren to the Father. And it teaches US the
great, deep lesson that nothing that af-
fects US is too small to command the interest
OF Him who marks the sparrOws fall Moth
ing reveals the greatness and fatherliness Of
God more than His solicitude for human
welfare in even the material things Of life.
Because He is a good Father, God cannot
ignore our profouudest human need, which
is for forgiveness Of sin. The teacher put
this into the pattern prayer which He
taught His learners. The quality Of for
giveness-that Of the one who prays being
linked up inseparably with that Of the

These changed conditions produced social

To fully analyze all problems would re-
quire a long series Of lectures. 1 can simply
refer to some and make suggestions as to
their importance.
Probably the problem Of greatest interest
in social unrest is the relation Of employer
and employe. Originally such a problem
was unknown; every employe was an en-
plOyer; the home was the workshop for the
necessities Of life. Non-laDorers We're Few

and lords; between these and the labOring
man stretched an insurmOuntable gulf The
caste system Of India is the superlative mod
ern example Of the old condition There
was no social intercourse between the
classes. Each one knew his place and
recognized the rights Of his fellow man. The
guilds set their stamp Of approval on the
social divisions. But today such conditions
would be ridiculed. Men are men, no mat
ter what station of life they may occupy;
the meanest labOrer may be a Lincoln in
bringing salvation to a divided people.
This readjustment creates our problems.
We may categOrically affirm all men born
free and equal and even admit the first
part of the proposition, but we know all
men are not born equal. Nature has not
bestowed equality upon all men; environ
ment and heredity place a handicap upon
many which they cannot overcome. Ability

world prOclaims the man. As the heart Is

upon God for forgiveness He waits to be

Sinful Churches.
Sinful churches rarely behold the glory OF

Many are silent because they know so
little Of Jesus. Their eyes are holden. He
may walk by their side, earnestly seeking

know. They know everything else but him.

Christians Task and Privilege.
Let it now be said that it is the glorious
task and privilege Of every Christian to
declare his generation; to proclaim Jesus as
the only name whereby men must be saved.
We may be sure that Gods enemies will
not make the proclamation They will never
preach the glad tidings of peace to a lost
world They will shut the gates of mercy
on mankind, and seek to hinder those who
would open the gates
Let the redeemed of the Lord say So"

joys OF freedom Let him arise and break

All over the world young people
have the same fundamental needs and
traits. What pastor Francis E Clark
found good for the young people of
his own congregation in Portland,
Me- 80 years ago has proved equally
adaptable to the use of pastors in
Britain and Denmark and South Az
RIGA and China and India. The real
hOmOgeneity of the entire Christian
world has been shown afresh, and a
new tie created to bind men together
in brotherhood
The world ideal has been put into
millions Of minds by Christian En-
deayOr. It has taught young people,
at an impressiOnable age, to think in
international terms and to study
world maps The presence Of fellow
Endeavorers everywhere on earth has
been real education force in the life
OF the members Of his globe-girdling
society. The spread of the worldwide
conception of missions has been made
easier because Christian Endeayor
has blazed the way.

The only thing modern social unrest can
do is to give every man an equal opportunity

for victory If the circumstances demand

while recognizing its inability to give them
equality of ability We are not satisfied
vita existing conditions, we would improve
them by adding to the lot Of every man
some things considered luxuries only a short
time before.
And this social unrest reveals itself in
the relation Of man and wife. From very
earliest days the marriage contract was
considered from opposite viewpoints. On
the one side were those who declared it as
the right of man to send away his wife
for any and no reason as soon as she lost
favor in his sight; on the opposite side
were those who declared all marriages were
made in heaven and no one possessed the
right to dissolve a union once entered into.
On the one hand were those who claimed
matrimony as a privilege for those drawn to
each other by the indefinable passion Of
love, while others like aunt Bridget favored
"a common sense marriage, founded on suit
ability of position and property and ali that
the only proper match"

Basis Of Social Unrest.
The very basis of social unrest is ex-
pressed by Rev. Harry PembertOn in "The
blindness of virtue when he tells US "a
mans reach must exceed his grasp, or what's
a heaven for and the failure Of many mod
ern efforts is explained by the same writer
in telling his friend Archie, You're trying
to build an abbey before you've laid the
foundation stone"
Within half century a complete indus
trial revolution has taken place. I use the
word revolution advisedly. 1t has not been
an evolution, a gradual change from the
home shop and home industry, to factory
and organized industrial plants but a sud
den revolution with no laws to guide it and
no preCedents upon which laws might be
founded. The world awoke over night to
realize that man could be a trader and
manufacturer and still be a gentleman
that one need not lose caste by entering
the productive trades And with this new
thought came the natural corollary-a man
might sell his labor, his ability to help in
dustriaI organization for a specified hire
and yet remain a free man and never be-
come a serf.
