(4) Loyalty to the Church. The Society has been noted in all its history for its strict and un swerving loyalty to the local church. It is in the church, of the church, for the church. It is loyal to its pastor, to its church and all her interests and meetings, to its denomination and her mission ary treasuries. In the heart of the pledge is a promise to "support my on church in every way, especially by attending her Sunday and mid week services." 5. Summary. The essential features, then, of the Young People's Society of Christian En deavor are the following pledged and constant duties: attendance upon the weekly prayer meet ings and participation therein by every active member ; work for others through committees and in any other way which may be suggested, and unswerving loyalty to the local church. A few faithfully observing these promises will, with the blessing of God, soon become a powerful host in any church. There is no danger that the rules will be too strictly enforced ; but there is great danger that they will be too little regarded. The society that looks to God for all blessings, and strictly observes its vows, voluntarily assumed by each young person, cannot fail.
6. Recent Development. More recent velopments of the Christian Endeavor movement, such as the "Quiet Hour," "Tenth Legion," etc.,
can be entered into or not as any local society chooses. However, in many cases they will be found very helpful even to small societies. Chief among the auxiliary movements are: First.—The Comrades of the Quiet Hour, whose members agree as a rule of their lives to spend at least fifteen minutes each morning in prayer and Bible reading, meditation and personal communion with God.
Second.—The Tenth Legion, whose members agree to give at least one-tenth of their income to missionary or benevolent objects.
Third.—The Macedonian Phalanx, which con sists of individuals or societies who support, in whole or in part, through their own denomina tional board, a missionary or native worker on the home or foreign field. It is expected that at least twenty dollars will be given each year for this purpose to secure enrollment in this Phalanx.
Fourth.—The Civic Club or Congress, for study and action along the lines of good citizen ship. especially of municipal affairs.
Fifth.—The Christian Endeavor Home Circle, an enrollment for the promotion of family wor ship and household religion, the members agree ing to observe family prayers daily or at least weekly. F. E. C.
