deal when tho conditions wero considered.
"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. Tho message of jesus

A splendid templo for Pendleton
Camp No. 41, Woodmon of tho World
Is ono of tho possibilities of tho near
futuro for Pendleton.
Tho question has been agltatod In
a few minds for several years, and Is
gradually crystallzlng Into form. Tho
camp now contains over 600 mem
bers and Is growing constantly. No
lodge room In tho city would ac
commodate half tho membership If
It Bhould attend lodgo meeting at
onco. This condition Is causing tbo
membership to cast about for somo
means of relief. '
Consul Commander J. H. iAwrlo
will appoint a building commlttoo,
perhaps at tho noxt mooting of the
camp for tbo purpose of making an
Investigation Into tho prospects for
securing a good building slto.
If tbo camp determines to build, a
modorn and olegant temple will be
erected, sultablo for all futuru pur
poses, with banquet room, property
room, kitchen, spacious assembly
hall and all tho needed equipment
for such an extenslvo membership.
It will bo strictly a Woodmon tem
ple, nnd will bo an ornament to tho
city.
Tho camp Is In a very prosperous
condition nnd tho spring campaign
