Lord Jesus Christ may be magnified and glorified through us, by life, by prayer, by suffering or, if need be, by death. Such recognition will cause us to submerge our own ambitions and desires and draw closer together. 2. Association. a. In prayer. When we come into the presence of God, how quickly and completely we forget our differences. b. In service. In the activity and absorption of definite work for the Lord we are soon brought into close fellowship with one another. c. The conventions and rallies of Christian Endeavor, with their warmth and inspiration, promote and preserve
NOVEMBER 14, 1926 How May We Promote Interdenomina tional Fellowship? 1 John 1:3-7; Eph. 4:1-6 There are two essentials to a closer interdenominational fellowship: 1. Recognition. a. The Lord Jesus Christ in all His matchless glory and in the majesty of His deity must be recognized and ac knowledged as the one and only center of unity. Our fellowship is first with Jesus Christ and the Father, thus we have all things in common. Fellow ship means sharing or holding in com mon— partnership. The Lord Jesus used the figure of the vine and the
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR TOPICS NOVEMBER 7, 192« How Make War Against War? Matt. 7:12; Isa. 2:1-4 (World Peace Sunday. Consecration Meeting) This problem has confronted the world for centuries, and in spite of the fact that we know something of the sin, folly and terrible tragedy of war, and something of the prosperity and Joy of peace, yet we have no peace, for as long as sin Is rampant and Satan Is free wars will continue. Men and or ganizations from time immemorial have endeavored to bring about world wide peace, and their efforts have re

In the Christian’s warfare against war we do not resort to man’s method. For many war-stricken y e a r s men have used carnal w e a p o n s— pre paredness, disarma ment, leagues, confer ences, treaties and alliances. If we would abolish war we must use the great spirit ual w e a p o n s of prayer, Godly-living, e v a n g e l i z a t i o n — working, watching,

diation of a luminous body.” The su preme ambition in life is to become a reflector from which the beauty, splen dor and glory of the Lord may be dif fused on a dark world. The life of continuous praise is the normal Christian life. Praise is a powerful testimony to the unsaved (Acts 16:25). Praise is the first part of worship (Luke 24:63; Acts 2:47 ). “ Praise— pure, emancipated, enraptured, ador ing praise— is the supremest and.most perfect of all kinds of prayer. Thanks giving is higher and purer than peti tion; while, again, it is lower and less blessed than holy, heavenly, God-ador ing praise.” (Whyte.) We should praise Him by song (Psalm 147:1-3).; by instrumental music (Psalm 150); by word of testi mony (Psalm 107:1, 2; 109 :30 ); by prayer (John 11:41, 42; 14 :13 ); by life (Eph. 1:6, 12-14); by thanksgiv- (Continued on page 665)
branches in describing the closeness of the relationship that exists between Him and His own children. Both the vine and the branches have all things in common. He shares our sorrows, trials, problems, burdens, and we share His wealth, power, peace, joy, honor and glory. If we have fellow ship with Him, we will have fellowship with those who belong to Him. b. We need to recognize the One Administrator of all affairs in the church— the Chief Executive of the church— the Holy Spirit. c. To recognize the one and only Constitution of the church— the whole Bible— and govern our lives by it. d. To recognize the fact that we who are saved are one— members of the same body (John 17:20-24; 1 Cor. 12:12-27). The same life flows through each child of God. Since we are one, let us live and act as one. e. To recognize the fact that we have one supreme objective— that the
waiting, and hastening the coming of the Prince of peace to this war-sick earth (2 Pet. 3:11-13). The blessed day. of peace is surely coming. The second Scripture refer ence tells us when. In verse 2, “ last days" gives the time, “ mountain of the world” means the kingdom of the Lord. All nations will be turned to Him. He will apeak— they will obey and war will cease. The occasion for war lies in the hearts of men, and only God can give new hearts, and this He does when they believe the record concerning His Son (1 John 1:10-13). Our business is to propagate the record (2 Cor. 5: 17; Mark 7:20-21). Jas. 4:1-3; Isa. 11:1-9; Micah 4: 3, 4; Psa. 4:8; Matt. 10:24, 25; Matt. 5:44; Heb. 13:6; 1 Cor. 4:12, 13; 2 Cor. 6:4-6; 1 Tim. 2:1-8; 1 Pet. 2: 21, 22.
