By striving to do everything that
Christ would have him do and by daily
prayer and reading the Bible he at
tains the spirituality of mind which is
the common mark of all believers.
Without it there cannot be true Chris
tian life.
The spirit of the pledge stands for
the beauty that is in the mind of the
Holy Spirit. 1t is a great thought
that We may have the indwelling of
Gods spirit to guide and strengthen
in all our endeavors.

We know from our recent studies OF

Jesus was taken before Caiaphas, only

predicted defections remained to be ful-

The great Teacher knew men and He
was well aware of Peters weakness,
therefore He warned Peter of the coming
satinic sitting and prayed that his faith,

fail. Jesus knew far better than We ever
can that no natural endowment could
stand the strain OF the testing OF sp1rltual

Purpose of the Pledges.


How important, then, that every
thing possible be done to promote spir-
itual mindedness in order that this
greatest source of Christian endeavor
power may be secured and enlarged.
And how can this be done?
There is no better way, perhaps no
other way. than by vowing. and keep
ing the vow, to devoutly pray and
read the Scriptures every day and to
be regularly found in the house of
worship. The Endeavorer who does this
in the true spirit of his pledge will not
be wanting in the graces and joys of
the spiritual minded.
The pledge, when faithfully kept,
stands for spirituality of mind and
heart, and that insures purity in the
home and social life. honesty in the
daily life, loyalty in the church life,
patriotism in the national life and
Christian fellowship and brotherhood
with all mankind.
Every Christian. whether a member
of the Christian Endeavor Society or
not is under obligation to do. in some
form or other, everything promised in
the pledge of this society.
There is therefore. every reason to
magnify it, for through the true OBJ
seryance of its spirit of conservation
and devotion to Gods word and Gods
church, all may be magnifed and made
illustrious as the children Of the High.
