SEMPER FIDELIS S. S.
CLASS.

sufficient to say that he is a member of
the Young Mems Sunday School Class
of Wartburg, and is whole heartedly de-
termined, as are the other members of
Class, that it shall succeed as Sunday
School Class.
The Young Mems Class, of the Pres
byterian and Baptist Sunday Schools
of Wartburg, was organized some few
weeks ago, with a membership of eight
which has been increased to eleven, at
this writing,
A constitution and bylaws were drawn
up by duly appointed committee,
which constitution and bylaws, the class
at a business meeting endorsed, and to
which all those who wished to become
members, subscribed their names.
Some time later the class name Sem
per Fidelis" meaning Always Faith
ful' was adopted by the class. Each
member is bound to live up to the class
name, in spirit and in truth. 1t is the
hope, and an object of the leaders of
the class, that each member shall be
faithful to humanity, his country and
his God.
The object in organizing the class,
is to keep the boys in Sunday School,
where we shall be under religious infiu-
ence, that we might more readily see
and take the true way. To put into
our hands, literature, which will tend to
build up our mental and nerNl systems
rather than to destroy them To cult
vate our speaking ability. by having
class discussions, debates, etc, that we
may be able to speak readily on all oc-
casions; and in short, to create of the
class, such a nest of interest and Cody
enterprise, as to make membership in
it pleasure rather than duty.
BOOSTING THE CLASS.
We have friends, mean friends of
the class, who are interested in our well
fare as a class. For instance, there is
certain friend of ours, who, when we
wanted car to carry part of the boys
to Coalfeld, for our intended perform
ance there, lent US his car and even in
sisted on paying expenses of running it,
while in our possession. We thank him
kindly and treasure his friendship. There
are others that l could mention, who
are just as anxious to see us succeed.
We prize their friendship as highly. We
are sore in need of friends such as they
to boost US, encourage US and pray for
US.
hat will be the result of your
boosting the classs We boys will feel
that you are interested in us, and in our
salvation. We will feel that you are sup
porting US, Such support will cause US
to try harder to refrain from doing those
things which are not manful. We shall
be won gradually-do you get the word?
from those things and turn to rightful
living.
KNOCI< ING THE CLASS
We also have enemies. Mcpherson.
al enemies, but enemies nevertheless of
the class as a whole, who would be
more glad than sorrowful, should we
fall as Sunday School Class; enemies
who look on from distance, with a
Devil-may-care disposition, as to wheth-
er we stand or fall; enemies who openly
talk against US, and who try to devise
means by which they hope to break the
class up. Go to it Mr.. Enemy, but /
think you are knocking at the wrong
door.
Then what will be the result of such
knocking? Or rather what would some
people like to have as the result? We
boys would feel that we were intruding
in your Sunday School. We would get
and discouraged. We
would be pulling against the tide; and
it would be hard pull indeed, And it
we were the kind commonly called quit
tiers, we would probably throw up our
job and quit.
But we are not the kind that quit;
rest assured of that. Nothing that our
Mr.. Enemy can say, or do, no criticism
that he can make shall influence US very
