like motors, they need to be recharge'
constantly. They start out well bu
soon slide along the line OF least re
sistance. After you give them a goo'
talking to that raises their hopes anI
fires their ambitions, they run splen
dldly for a while, and you think the!
are going TO do something, but all a
once they collapse and have TO be re-
charged They depend too much upor

Of today Is no place for youth without
backbone or courage; competition Is
too fierce. II is the leaders, not the
trailers, that are In demand.
Next Sundays topic VIII be written
by Miss Elizabeth Krauss Of Greenhill
Christian Endeavor Society.
Our writer this week has certainly
taken us from our childish thoughts
and led us to higher Ideals, things
worth while. As children we think as
children, but when we became men and
women we should think and do as men
and women.
The condition the countries have
been In for the past few years has
brought many man to the front. Some
Of them have been able to stand up un-
der the heavy burdens and to such men
our nation looks with pride because
they are men OF high ideals, men with
the ambition and determinations to get
ri - al fha pfoh
man, nor even the college men, but
they are men through and through,
and many OF them are Christians, rep
resenting various denominations, but
all with the same end In view.
man or woman who is going to
succeed must have a certain ideal or
ambition and stick to It.; this holds
true in the Christian life as well as In
the business life.
A good motto for us Endeayorers and
and that is very appropriate In con-
nection with this topic is ''Hltch your
wagon to star" In other words
aim high and then try to reach the
goal.
A good many Of us Endeavor Soci-
cites have discontinued their activ-
tiles during the summer months, but
we trust their interest In this work will
not wane. Endeavorers think up plans
for your fall work.
Our good friends and ex-Pastoral
DR.. Thomas p. Holloway Of
Second Baptist Church preached his
last sermon Sunday as he leaves VIII
the ist OF August to take up
his work among the boys In camp.
Dr. Holloway has been appointed by
the War Commission of the Northern
Baptist Convention ss Camp Pastor at
Rockford, Illinois. DR.. Holloway will
be missed by not only his vast con-
gregation but by his many friends. He
has always been right on the job
when the Endeavorers wanted him TO
help in any way and we surely have a
great deal OF love and respect for him.
He will be missed greatly by us, but
we are glad that he Is going 10 be a
help and comfort 10 our boys, and may
God richly bless him In his work.
Second Baptist is certainly doing her
part as they now have their minister
and about forty-two in the service.
Many OF the boys being "over there"
Word has Just been received that our
rood friend Robert Collins arrived in
Paris safely
Many Of our Endeavorers are In the
ervice and we have an honor list TO |
)e proud or and we know that our
,oys will strive TO have an influence
or good wherever they are.
