are no special battles anticipated to be
fought in this conference, and it seems
that there will be little work out of the

There will be a few calls to churches

Specific Training.

The prayer meeting of our society is
training school for the enlarged service
Of prayer and praise in the great cor
gresatfon, but it is only so to those VINO
take part in the prayer meetings OF the
society.
Schools are valuable to students put
not to mere onlookers.
And SO the committee work of our
society is an exec lent training school
for similar work i'll the higher depart
mepts of the church's organizations
Each society has d number OF commit
tees, and some are exceedingly lmpor
tant. To perform that work acceptaniy
requires much thought and study. inns
experience affords mental, moral ana
business training that will prove ValGa-
bic in civic and Christian enterprises.
But the endeavorer who shirks this wor :
is shut off from the rewards such tram
ing affords.
Another great line of training Is IN
the cooperative work of Christian En-
deayor. The union work of the society
will prove to those who conscienuously
engage in it a valuable education for use
fulness in large and extensive purposes
involving denominational and :nterde-

Expansion of the Kingdom.

Within our own day we have come
to see the fulfllment of the first para

expansion of Christianity. The prog

day in the Irresistible trend of modern
civilization. that has moved all ma
tions toward higher and better condl-
tons, and yet it started with small
band of discouraged disciples that at
the death OF Christ were apparently as
Insignificant as the mustard seed.
The worldwide movement for the up
lift of humanity has its source in the
gospel OF Christ, whose progressive
power is filling the modern world with
new hopes of a better spiritual, social
and economic life. The marvellous ad
vance of Christianity is beyond the
force and power of any country or
combination of capitalists to check.

The privileges of men do not free them
from their obligation to enter the Jesus

only thing that saves from exclusion is
the acceptance of Christ and the con-
-forrnity of life to His will. Men brought

Overcoming DiMdence.

1t is the same with all young peoples
religious societies. The pledge requires
the members to assist in the meetings, at
least to the extent Of reading a verse of
Scripture. BY this simple means natural
shyness and diffdence is often overcome,
and the start in exercising the voice in
public leads TO confidence and perhaps to
great future usefulness
The young peoples societies are indeed
splendid schools for training the mex
pericnc"d and timil into u spirit of cour-
age and seif-asscrtion.
Are there not thousands of young men
and young women VINO are today boldly
proclaiming the gospel in their own or
III heather lands whose voices would be
silent except for the training they re-
ceived in the work of young peoples
societies?
That training gave them knowledge
that they had the Gift of utterance as
well as the gift Of faith and love.

The board of foreign missions OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church has an
nounced that "a gift of $4,000 has been
made for the establishment OF a perlna-
nent fund for retired missionaries OF
that church. At the present time there
is no adequate fund for this purpose,
and the retired missionaries have to be
provided for by the annual conference
or by private means.
This is the third large gift received
recently by the board. The others We're
for $4,000 and s175,o0o. making the
total fund S265,000 for this year. The
donor in each case requested that his
name be withheld.
The effect of this announcement at the
coming sessions of the Baltimore con-
ference of the church at Cumberland

precipitate definite action for furnish

for the care of the missionaries sent
out from this conference.

The Gains of Training.

1t is not possible to enumerate the
gains that come from Christian Eli
deavor training. The primary object in
forming young peoples societies in the
church was to help the church in its
work. Its great work is with the young.
for they are the hope OF each coming
generation.
BY gathering the young Christians into
a special organization and special re-
ligious service of their own the way was
opened for closer sympathy one for an
other, and a freer exercise of their gif S
in a service Of worship largely among
themselves.
Such societies were unknown less than
thirty-five years ago. Today Christian
Endeavor alone has its societies In over
100, 900 churches. In every land under
the sun Christian Endeavor is eNertins a
widespread and ever-increasing influence
for good upon mankind.
Who can measure the gain to the
church. to the young and to the whole
race that this society has achieved in It's
short life of thirty-three years?
And what wondrous signs of promise
there are for its future.
