1887. Societies established in Af­ rica, England, India, China, Japan, France, Spain, eto. Since then the story is one of con­ stant expansion into 40 different nations. 2. Christian Endeavor now has over 4,000,000 members in 80,000 soci­ eties in over 100 denominations. 3. À six-story headquarters building in Boston has been built with members’ twenty-five-cent contri­ butions. 4. Since 1925 (two years b e f o r e Founder Clark’s death), the inter­ national society has been led by Daniel A. Poling, pastor of Phila­ delphia Baptist Temple- (To give a spiritual emphasis to this topic, secure and read your Christian Endeavor covenant, and comment on the value of a movement which has given entrance of the truths of this pledge to nations and peoples the world over.) m . WHAT ‘‘CHRISTIAN ENDEA­ VOR” HAS ACCOMPLISHED. (Speaker may elaborate and illustrate as time allows.) 1. Many young people have come to know Jesus Christ as Saviour. 2. Many have been inspired, and en­ couraged, and t r a i n e d to win friends to Christ. 3. Christian Endeavor discussion and forum groups have enabled young p e o p l e to straighten out ideas about life’s problems. 4. Young people have become better acquainted with one another—and with the Lord Jesus. 5. Young people have been trained for leadership. 6. Young people have been developed in self-expression. 7. Christian Endeavor has trained young people to be stewards of time, talents, money, and life. (Note again Romans 12:1,2.) 8. Christian Endeavor has In most cases stood out against gambling, lewd magazines, moving pictures, the cigarette habit, and liquor. 9. Many young people have become evangelistic a n d missionary-con­ scious through Christian Endea­ vor. 10. Countless “part-time” and “full­ time” Christian workers, as well as many genuine Christian wit­ nesses in so-called "secular” em­ ployment, trace their response to the Lord’s Commission to a Chris­ tian Endeavor meeting. For the Leader 1. Send to the International Society

2. Consult with your pastor in mak-. ing this a great "Christian Endeavor Day.” Advertise it as such and make your c h u r c h “youth” conscious and "C.E.” conscious. 8. Allow time in this meeting to dis­ cuss the three points of the outline in their application to your C.E. Society; i.e., “When our Society was bom,” “How our Society has grown,” and “What our Society has accomplished.” 4. Do not be afraid to face these is­ sues, and if your society has not grown and has accomplished little, find out why. FEBRUARY 9, 1941 . , WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT TOLERANCE L uke 9:49, 50; G alatians 3:26-29 Introduction Concerning “tolerance,” the teachings of the Word of God seem paradoxical. On some occasions the Lord Jesus Him­ self seemed very “intolerant.” At other times He was so “tolerant” that men were shocked. - "Tolerance” is just now a very popu­ lar doctrine. The public press, most universities, and the Federal Council of Churches are zealously preaching it. But when "tolerance” is used as a guise for permitting the destruction of American principles of government and ^ fo r denying the necessity of adhering to God-revealed faith, something is the matter! "We should be good enough Ameri­ cans to defend Americanism.” We must be devoted enough to the truth of God to live it and, if necessary, die for it. If we are not so, we are traitors to our country, and betrayers of the Christ we profess to worship. When rationalism attacks and under­ mines revealed faith, it is the right and duty of God’s people to defend their faith, even a t the cost of being termed “intolerant.” (Let the leader here suggest th a t the members of the group be alert, during the discussion, to detect the underlying principles which determined the “toler­ ance” or “intolerance” of our Lord.) For Those Who Have Topics I. THE BIBLE TEACHES “TOLER­ ANCE.” 1. The Jewish scribes and Pharisees were narrow and bigoted; hence the teachings of our Lord contin­ ually irritated them because His redemptive plan encompassed all men everywhere (Lk. 4:27,28, etc.). 2. The social sympathies of our Lord were a constant surprise and scan­
