ElNDEAVORERS ~ FIND CONCISE
 \ BIBLE POINTS:

Members: of the Woodlawn Presby- terian Christian Endeavor society aD- inounce special and interesting meetings kof that organization which are largely attended.
 Their 15 salient points from the Bi- ble as deducted from the lessons are given below :ss
 I. God 1 the owner of all things. P. He has never vacated his property rights.
 7 3. Man does not own what he pos. sesses, but is a steward administering for the owner.
 4. God requires man to acknowledge this ownership by setting aside for Him a definite portion of income.
 5.l All that remains must be admin istefed as the property of God. "A steward is one entrusted with manage bment. of affairs not his own."
 6. Use of some special talent for God is required. S7. History shows that all races and religions have had some way of giving to their God.e : a-sa
 s. One-tenth of our possessions is the interest. but ten-tenths the principal on Gods loan. [. Q. The Bible: promises many rewards for good stewardship.
 10. Money is "a spiritual blind or s Il. Money is stored energy, the rep resentatiye of good .or evil.
 IF. The spirit in which we give is what counts. K 13. Often more money is placed on trifles than is given to God.-
 IA. To place one-tenth aside at pay day and put it to tithe account is a great help to tithers.
 10. Some forget all in the search for money. . Sunday at 6 30 o;clock the c. E., society of the Woodlawn Presbyterian church will have a test on the first AS questions of the book, "A catechisn of Christian Stewardship"

what he knew was a good d-hearted. but weak brother, and said, Il like your frankness; I shall be glad to be led by you."' He followed him to the altar and into the church.
 A flagmsn on rainy. stormy night went down the track with his lantern to stop fast express. train and notify the engineer of trestle washed out in front ,. As he hurried along the track through the rain and wind, his foot slipped. He fell and broke his lantern and the wind blew out his light. He but had no lantern. The heavy rain and cloud shut off the headlight and the train dashed by him. He slung his broken lantern into the engine. It fell at the feet of the, engineer. He stopped his engine and escaped the wreck. He put his arm around the faithful flag man and said, Your broken lantern saved us.' As our friends rush on to death, if we have nothing but broken life, let us throw it at their feet and warn them of the danger.
