But there are three hi that are indispensable to every well pi organized society of Christian Endeavor. e] The Lookout, Prayer-meeting and Social 11 Committees. There are numerous others n that may be added :iCCording to the needs rt of your society, your church, or the com- o munity in which you live. There may be t the music, flower, missionary, Sunday 11 Ischool, temperance, good lite ‘ature, and r 'others as you see tit to form them. On I Some of these committees it is necessary I that only active members may act with 1 \equal acceptability. But do not form 1 l committees simply for the sake of naving a number of committees, if there is not work for them to do. Yetthe idea should 1 be in every society to have every active ; member doing some active, definite work. . Have six or eight members on each com- ! mittee, or more if necessary, with a. con- Ivener at. the head. Appoint some of your younger members on each of your committees as they can act so that they‘ may grow up thoroughly acquainted with the Work. When t e term of office expires for the committee now acting do not appoint all new members but retain . two or three of the most efficient workers L l of the former Committee. All committees .éshould be appointed by a nominating ' i committee and their names submitted to ‘ the Society. The soc1ety should elect its i l oflicers and committees semi-annually. 1 Each committee should hold its own 1 monthly business meeting, at which " reports of work done by each member of r 1 the society should be handed to the chair- 1 man of the committee. \‘i'ork to be done 0 | should be pointed out, and the best lamethotls of doing the same discovered. 11 g In this Way only can the committee do its 3 most effectual Work. Then. the report of g- the committee should be read by the )S i chairman at the regular monthly business no | meeting of the society. oâ€"p u. a... i) ' ‘ ,,_1_ -2 4.1-”. lllltyseuz‘ v- ..7 - Let us consider the special work of the lookout committee. Dr. Clarke, president of the United Society of Christian Endeavor. says in reference to this committee, “That to the 77‘»--2L~AA CHRISTIAN EN DEAVOR; Committee Work- work of the Now, let us look over our work. nas each member been doing his duty? Has he been fulfilling his pledge? Has the influence of your society been felt in the church? Have souls been born into the kingdom of your society? You have no time for resting, your work is ever before you. Be a look-over committee, keeping your eyes w1de open for fresh work. never an over-look committee neglecting one stranger or one delinquent member. The members of the prayer meeting com- mittee should be earnest, consecrated Christians. who are willing to do whatever Work falls to their lot. They should each one be prepared to prevent a meeting from becoming dull and formal by always being ready and prepared to take the appointed leaders place should he fail to put in an appearance at the last moment. They should speak to several members, especially difiident ones, during the reek preCeding the meeting to be prepared to make some remarks on the subject in hand, or offer a prayer as soon as an op- portunity offers itself and so help and encourage the leader. Tell your leader 1 not to occupy too much time himself. Do 5 not sing too many verses of a hymn or 3 read too long a passage of scripture at once.~ Some one has said, let no more 3 than ten minutes be occupied by the 5' leader in‘the opening hymns, prayers, l readings and remarks. This committee, u besides putting in the hands of every y member and attendant a topic card, should ‘ h remind the leader two or three weeks pre- n vious that his time to lead has come. g In the Model Constitution we read, ‘t “The prayer meeting committee shall have 11 charge of the prayermceting and see that 'e a topic is assigned and a leader appointed i. for each meeting and to do what it can to 0- secure faithfulness to the prayer meeting [1' or active members pledge.” 9-2 91’: 55601:! 14-,JA-.. Jr ituu \‘c ILAUllnvvsâ€"a I.--..°-, The important work of choosiugleaders and tepics should be the first duty of the committee after its organization. There are no better topics than those issued by the united society of Christian Endavor. But it is sometimes helpful to vary them somewhat. Have a missionary topic for} one meeting, a temperance topic for ‘ another and a thanksgiving topic for another meeting, if they are not already announced among those mentioned. Every . society knows its own special needs. Have one meeting for prayer about, and dis- cussion on, those needs. For your conSe- cration meeting have a topic as well as for other meetings. It is better that every u "7; Ll.,...,.l.+a uhnnld he directed in ()tner mus-Lungs. in ........ member’s thoughts should be directed in 1 the same channel, than that they should ‘ be run off in numerous other directions as they will be if there is no topic assigned. When appointing the leaders you will almost always find it difficulty to get the younger or new members to take the lead of a meeting. A good way to overcome this difficulty is to appoint live leaders for the one meeting putting one who on the ‘plea of lack of ability or confidence in himself had heretofore declined a meeting, along with one of more confidence and strength. It is well also to appoint alter- nate meetings to the young ladies and young men. ' ‘he social committee should be the social element in the society. This com- mittee should not be formed for the sole ‘ purpose of getting up entertainments once in a while although this an impor- tant feature of its work.

This committee should let no stranger de- part from the meeting Without giving him a hearty hand clasp and welcome, and introduce him to some other members the society (what a world of power is some- times in a hearty shake of the hand ac- companied by a pleasant smile. Let us not neglect this little act of sociability.) We cannot do each other good unless we know each other so it is the privelege as well as duty of the social committee to make known the strangers to the other members of the society. ‘ ‘ h ‘ M f_ Afin L1H“. “0.4- D; DIOWDBTS UL LLIU Evy-Ut.’ . The “Soc1al Evening” is another part of the social committees work. Break down the barriers of formality in these evenings. Have an “ At Home,” it is the best form of an evenings entertainment. Take all the chairs but a few out of the room. Have a few little tables placed in different parts of the room, some with plants on them, ‘others with some views, magazines etc., ‘ and yet another with a galvanic battery. This last is a great means to put life into the quiet members and make a bond of sympathy between the members and strangers present. Have a short program, a long intermission, and some refreshment. Speak and shake hands with everyone present without waiting for someone to introduce you. In short be as pleasant and as sociable as you would be in your own home. . 1-__:,_a-.

Relieve sorrow and suifering as much as Is in your power. The musm committee can also work along those lines, as well as to provide the 1 music for the meetings, or the five com- ‘ mittees may one. You can go and sing or read to some member who cannot come to the meeting. Then there is the missionary committee whose work comes in here.

An 1.....- and... ;mnnr- uay Dvuvv- - - -_, w These committees all have their impor- tance. They are helps to young people in doing Christian work, but that they may be aids in the highest degree, it is well to notice a. few facts without which any com- mittee is devoid of power. Therefore in the first place the daily life of the members should be Christ-like. Asking others to come to the meetings and talking with them is good and it must not be undervalued but after all the great thing is to have the Word lived out in the life. The life lived for Christ carries an untold influence; one invitation given backed by a consistent Christian life is Worth any number given by those who ask others simply because they are on the lookout committee and they want to do their duty. - .. .o 'l, 2‘ L- L- u‘l LIIVA. “â€"‘J . In the next place, if the work is to be to purpose, there must be a faith in the ork of God’s spirit. There is a ten- ency in the anxiety to put young chris- gans to work to think that if the work is done. all is well. It is a good thing to have christians actively engaged in the work of advancing Christ’s kingdom. It is a good thing to be zealous in the cause, but above and beyond all this we must, rest on the Holy Spirit, Without whose aid genuine ‘ results are not, nor can they be. Should the work then be laid aside '2 By no means. It is jus: this, while we work as though everything depended on us, let us pray as though nothing depended on us. Then. do not. measure success by num- bers. If but one person be brought into the light and he continue to be an earnest disciple of Christ, that should be far more encouraging than if many had come but only in a half-hearted manner. It is in- vigorating to see crowds coming into con- rection with the means of Grace, but ; remember the Master Himself won them singly. Let us take all our committee s, all our l Work to the Saviour and be guided by his - teaching and helped by his spirit, the 1‘ results must be to his glory, and the end, r everlasting life to many a soul.
