The hard 'practical" sense of - Peter revolted from the cross and the Passion. Never yet was a worldly-wise man willing to build a acheme of Malvation with a crone In It. When, at-ihe Last Supper. Peter in dignantly denied that he would ever forsake his Lord he would die first he really meant It. But, a Inn, for the arm of flesh! Within an hour or so I'eter was sound asleep at his sentinel post in the Garden. , of Gethsemane: and ere day broke he aif cursing like the old Caperumim Peter, and thereby proving that, he was no friend of Jesus. In the Interval between these two ' derelictions he had drawn his sword and 'cue off Malehus' ear, doing his . Maatsr.no service thereby. Ah, Peter! Peter! There . was too much of the ego in that lusty spirit of yours. You had yet to" learn to let God have His own way with you. Tlie Klre That WtrmnI Not. Of course it is easy to catalogue Peter's faults: when the only profit' ' sble exercis is to substitute our own name for his.

"Mag nify the Christian Endeavor Pledge." EccJ. &:1-T. I By William T. Ellia One clear, distinctive feature of the Christian Endeavor Society, which marks it off from the old fashioned literary organisation, and from many other rather indefinite young people's societies. Is the pledge which every active member takes. Thla ia the geniua of Christian En deavor. Most of its other feature the system of committees and meet ings, the consecration service, ate. are found elsewhere. In giving the world the Christian Endeavor pledge Francis F. Clark made a contribu tion, bo the religious Ufa of the twen tieth century that cannot be meas ured. Before It can be discussed In telligently, the pledge should be read: "Trusting thr' Liotd Jesus Christ for strength. I promise him that I will strive to do whatever He would - Ilk to have me do; I will mak It the rule of my to pray and read the Bible that life every day, and to support my own church In every way, especially by attending all her regular Sunday and mid-week' services, unless prevented by some reason which I can consci entiously give to my Saviour; and. tnat. just so tar as l know how. throughout my whole life, I will en deavor to read a Christian life. "As an active member, I promise to be true to all my duties, to be pres ent at and to take some part, aside from tknglng.. in every Christian En deavor prayer meeting, unleaa hin dered by some reason which I can conscientiously give to my Lord and Maater. If obliged to be absent from the monthly consecration meeting of the society. I will, If possible, send at least a vera of Scripture to b read In response to my name at tha roll-call.

So near Is Ood to man, When Duty whisper low, Thou must,' The Youth replies. 'I can.' " In this spirit the Christian Endeavor pledge Is written. It is frankly hard and high. On the highest plane, it appeal to the loftiest motlvea Know log, that youth love a shining ideal and a difficult duty, the pledge sum mons It to chivalrous service and to the subllmest purpose. "Good sol diers of Jesus Christ", are called for by thla vow: which rallies the noblest Impulses to the commonest taaka Tha very idealism of the pledge haa been the explanation of the place It has had in the Uvea of millions of t ar sons. w "It Is indeed better not to vow than to' vow and hot pay; but better far than either lit to vow and to pay." "Oar life today Is suffering; from m spent incentive." remarked a keen pieat'her recntlyr""The "anaIyal is sound. What means that reallees running after new pleasures, and quick flinging astdeuf the old amuse ments, like a child aated with toys T Ia It not of a pace with the profound social discontent of our day? The heart of. men arc deeply unemlened. They want something which they have not- ' And that need ia the ned far a great Master, a great motive, a great mianon. All these Christ suppliea Therein Is the secret of all the Jubi lant successes of Christian Endeavor: "Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for strength ... I. promise him that I will strive to do whatever be would like to ave me do." Christ Is ths ade quate answer to Ufa's '-perplexing Questions and VhnBTlan.
