THE MOUNTAIN FIELD.
From one of our mountain academies comes the following good message that will interest all the loyal Endeavorers throughout the land:
"Last Sunday at our Young People's meeting a vigorous beginning was made to the organization of a Christian Endeavor Society. Young men active in religious meetings made the move and organized."
The following lines are used in one of the Sunday-schools in Connecticut, which has recently given its birthday pennies to work among the mountain children in the South. Their contribution goes to help provide a building for the Christian instruction of a large number of Highland lads and lassies in Tennessee. We thoroughly appreciate gifts that come with the evident spirit of consecration that accompanies these birthday pennies:
Jesus sat beside the treasury,
Saw the pennies as they came,
Knew the hands that love to bring them
For the sake of His dear name.
Jesus, bless the ones we bring Thee,
Give them something sweet to do;
May they help someone to love Thee;
Jesus, may we love Thee, too.
The Chinese.
ENDEAVOR TESTIMONIES.
BY REV. W. C. POND, D.D.
It seems to me that nothing else should so much interest the friends of our Chinese Mission, as to get glimpses of the inner life, the Christian purposes, the ways of thinking which characterize those whom we report as giving evidence of conversion, and, perhaps, not otherwise can such glimpses be given than by jotting down some of the testimonies borne by them in their Y. P. S. C. E. meetings.
