We must understand what Christian
Endeavor stands for II we are to ap-
preciate It's possibilities. q. T.. s,a.-..s
for four principals and only four.
namely:
4. Confession Of Christ
=. Service for Christ.
3. Loyalty 10 Christ's Church.
1. Fellowship with Chrlst's people
The pledge embodies these four
principals. BY taking part In the young
peoples prayer meetings we are con-
Tossing Christ and at the same time are
preparing ourselves 70 speak for our
Lord when the occasion arises, perhaps
at times before those who. are not in
sympathy with His teachings. There
fore our first goal is to have the open
meeting filled with personal testa-
monies and a response from each MEM
ber at every roll call
A second goal TO be reached is that
every Endeavorer shall be lined up for
some definite service, not only in the
manifold opportunities which each in
dividual society offers, but also In the
State and City Union work as well.
Many hands make light work Don't
leave everything for a few to do.
Everybody put their shoulder 70 the
wheel. and the result will not only be
that the accompli hments Of Christian
Endeavor aims viii be greatly stimu-
lated, but the members thus engaged,
viii, themselves. receive untold benefit
A third goal which should be set be-
fore US, Is a greater loyalty TO our
Church. Are we giving it as much sup

but personally. We owe 70 10 our pas
tor and 10 our church 10 attend its
various services and cheerfully re-
spond 10 the tasks which we are called
upon to do
The Fellowship with Christ's People,
or in other words minglng with mem
bers Of other societies, should be a
coveted privilege. Such fellowship Is
productive Of mutual benefit. The Sc
cret Of the growth Of the C. L. Move
ment TO a great extent lies in this
fact.
Our fourth goal should be 10 aid
and promote the spreading Of this
blessing which we enjoy. This brings
MS face 10 face with the proposition :
what support are we giving TO our
City and State Unions? lam sorry 20
say that interest in these vital organiz-
ations has Of late not been what 70
should be, as shown by the small at
tendance at The last State Convention
with its wonderful Inspirations This
is also shown by the absence Of many
who formerly attended the City Union
meetings. We should include In oui
last goal the attendance Of every mem
Der Of our societies, and not only
present, but. bringing enthusiasm and
determination to promote the C. z.
work by joining their efforts with
those from other societies. Endeavorers

fore you. What will you do with them ?

news for you. so don't fail TO be on
hand at our next business meeting.
