DO YOU KNOW THAT Christian Endeavorers may feel a j pardonable pride in the fulfillment, 'of their prophecy that America : would he "a saloonless nation by' | 192O?" John Wesley, the founder of the 1 ' Methodist Church, said: "Make r.ilj .the money jou can honestly; save jail you can prudently; give ail you I I can possibly?" j "God can bear you if you say vour j prayers in bed." But liow manvj ! persons are too lazy to say *heirj i prayers and put themselves in a' i humble position before God? Market Square Presbyterian En- I deavorers are planning for a caraou- I flage to be held October 31st? ! FIVE POINTS ON THE TOPIC Topic: "Lessons from Favorite I Hymns." Arts 16; 22-25; 2 Chron. 5: 11-14. "Brighten the Corner Where You ; Are" won a Chinese laundrvman. and i he sung >t again and again in his j fearful fight with the opium habit. According to 2 Chron. 5: 11-14. are "Choirs" of modern origin? Tf you would sing well, turn your • face to the l'ght—the light of God's i promises, the light of faith and hope and love.—Anon. Probabiv "Rock of Aees" is the 1 most popular hymn in the Eneli-h j language. It was a favorite of Mr. | Gladstone and of Prince Albert, the j consort of Queen Victoria. There is comfort in song. Our | faith in song will lead to worship in I song. MARKET SQUARE RALLY DAY MEET Plans Laid For Big Celebra tion at pusy Down-town Church To morrow To-morrow the Market Square : Presbyterian Sunday school observes i Rally Day, Prom'otion Day, and Sc-r --! vice Flag Day,—all in the Sunday schools. It is expected that I teacher will be in place, and every ! scholar in class. Children will be j promoted from one grade to anoth i er; aiid from one department to ] another. Some go from Kindergar ten to Primary; some front Pri mary to Junior; some front Junior to Intermediate; and some from In termediate to Senior. Then, a most interesting feature of the day is the | joint meeting of the Primary and | the Senior Departments. The ex- J trenies are to meet. The little folks ! are to unfurl their service ilag. i Stars are on this flag for every ! father, brother of any child in the j department.

Field-Secretary Evans, of the Ken- I tucky C. E. Union, reports the testi mony of the editor of one of the large Southern daily papers. Said this editor: "Until recently I own i ed stock in a saloon; but one night j I attended a Christian Endeavor meeting, and there the stock was i caused to loom up before me ;n ; such a hideous way that the next day I got rid of it."

IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD Evangelistic campuigns, revivals, protracted pr prayer-meetings, what ever title ib given to the work of the salvation of souls is the great busi ness of ihe church and its work ers. Long before the great Welsh revival in Wales, the great World's| Fair campaign and many others, the church of various denomina tions lias held similar meetings and they are continued to the present day. The devil and his gung have waged the most bitter opposition and persecution and his work is only be ing more and more exemplified in the war with Germany. The church is a saving station and an agency in spreading the gospel throughout; the world. Synonymous with the name J. Raymond Heniminger in recent cam paigns, goes the word "Power". There is a wonderful power and in spiration in the music of big chor uses of gospei singers which Prof. Hemminger directs. At first glance one is visibly impressed. As lie takes his place on the platform, fac ing the choir, his big powerful build inspires confidence—he is the dyna mo which radiates energy into each member of tne choir, every nerve is tense and ready. The source of his power is soon seen as he reverently invokes Divine blessing upon the singing of the morning or evening for the salvation of souls. Then everything is uttention, as, with arms raised a genial, contagious smile and a few words to inspire confidence, you hear th familiar "Come on now, choir, everybody; together"', and away goes that choir, I whether organized in a day or! weeks' time, following him in every; movement, as lie seems to be pump ing some lift into theni by his man euvers and making them perform their best. .
