of this movement is no small thing,
for it means that one is engaged di-
rectly in the service of the most
high. Greater honor than this NOR
tai or angel cannot have.
Over and over again Christian En-
deavorers need to hear the grand old
world loyalty, which is the slogan OF
the society. Christ commands our
loyalty; so does his church. Unless
we are of the heroic stuff that is for
ever and answering true, we cannot
be faithful Endeavorers. The first and
last word Of the cause is, loyalty-loy-
atty. The loss of the spirit of loyalty
in Christian Endeavor would mean the
failure of the cause.
Heaven sets small value on mobs,
Not quantity, but quality is the
eternal standard. Until we cease
our needless haste for new members
and devote our attention to making
better members we cannot have an
ideal society. 1t is not the society
with the longest roll that most hon.
ors the master, but the one whose
members are living closest to him.
Our great pledge requires great
strength In the keeping. For any
ether than one to whom is promised
the constant presence and power OF
an omnipresent Saviour to make
such VOW would be sacrilege and
foolishness. But, trusting in the
Lord Jesus Christ for strength we
can keep even this mighty covenant.

COAL ENOUGH TO
LAST 1900 YEARS.
STATE GEoLoGIsT KAY MAKES
INTERESTING TALK BEFORE
IOWA CITY CLUB.

Iowa City, Dec. 9.--That Iowa has
coal enough within it's coal producing
territory to last the state for $500
years, at the present rate OF mining,
was the interesting statement, made by
Prof. George F. Kay, state geologist,
in. an interesting and informal talk at
the noon lunch of the Commercial
club. Prof. Kay said that while Iowa
coal is not of the highest grade it Is
found in considerable quantities, and
is of great Importance to the future
of the state. His talk was devoted to
the resources Of Iowa, and he dwelt on
the clay deposits at Mason City and
elsewhere, sufficient to last 1000 years
and the lime and limestone, the Port
land cement, and other valuable assets
for the present and future of Iowa,
With these resources and the right
kind of citizenship this must be one
of the greatest states of the union,
the speaker declared. His talk was
heartily applauded.
Prof Kay spoke on short notice
in the place of Lieutenant Governor
w. l.. Harding, who was on the way
but telegraphed from Abba that he
was called back home by sickness in
his family and would come here later,
