"Josus had -risen and gone out of their lifo. The past years had meant for tho disciple the compan ionship of tho man of Nazareth; they had been days of schooling and of education, and tho disciples had advanced by leaps and bounds. Hon or had been conferred on Peter: ho had eaten and lived with Jesus. In tho last fow days ho- had seen tho risen Christ, and now ho thought his life finished, and wished to go back to his lowly labors, where he could think of tho things ho had seen. "Christ, however, thought differ ently. Potor needed the 'call to ser vice,' and after that tho 'bestowal of power.' Had ho gone back ho would have been a better fisherman, but ho would have never been the apostlo whom tho world now hon ors. God had a larger mission for Peter and ho called him. "Tho Christian Endeavor move ment has gone forward by leaps and bounds in tho past few years and It It is to be a power in the affairs of mankind and In tho shaping of hu man action it must be like Peter cf old: must havo a call to service, and a bestowal of power. "Do you wish tho power for good? Then you muBt bo willing to pay tho costB. It Is said In The Acts that fire descended on the apostles, nnd it is a good figure, for the bestowal of power Is a serious thing, nnd we must bo ready to pay the costs, for fire burns, and the bestowal of the Holy Ghost moans burning out tho dross and tho dregs from our lives. "Thcso aro three steps In the Christian lifo: the dally companion shin with the reverence for the Lord; the bestowal of tho higher lifo, and of power; and the call to service. To which stage do you lie long: tho school, the high school or the college of Christian lire? "The vlBion of tho prophet sug costs tho field to which tho Christ inn Endeavor is called by God. Tho most pathetic thing of all, is that the golden city which the prophet saw descending from the heavens had boon pushed back from earth. Through tho medieval days and to the present time, the longing has been for a futuro life, a heaven to come after death. But the story of tho prophet was misread. He saw a heavenly city coming to earth to remain here, but tho city was sent back. "America has failed In the prob lera of the city, and this is tho worl manned out for tho Christian En deavor. It must help tho country to solvo tho riddle. It must work for nn American city, well governed woll appointed with light nnd water and all things good, a city beautiful and city virtuous. This is the call to service. Tho old tlmo saint was concerned with getting Into heaven nfter death, with tho life beyond the grave, and overlooked the duty of the present.
