Gradual Growth.

Our Christian character is TO be a
growth 1t is not developed in a day.
There must be continual growing
in grace and knowledge, and as the
growing advances the greater eff
cheney is gained.
The oak trees boughs once touched the grass,
But every year they grew
A little farther from the ground
And nearer toward the blue.
So live that you each year may be
While time gids softly by.
A little further from the earth
And nearer to the sky.

Five thousand new Life Work re-
cruits."
Each society has a part in the effort
to carry out this program. On each
member is laid a responsibility for the
increase of efficiency in his or her So
ciety that the goal may be reached.
The carrying out of this great pro-
gram in full or in large part will bring
a cheering realization of the two per-
manent Christian Endeavor ideals
increase and efficiency
There is no question that Christian
Endeavor has increased steadily in
practical efficiency. Year by year it
discovers how to be more helpful and
how to better carry out its knowledge.
1t has greatly increased in thorough
ness of organization. Its unions are
more and more governed by business
methods by which stability is gained
and far reaching results are secured.
