WHY THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN

There are two kinds of books. One kind couldn't be helped. The other kind could be helped, but their writers were compelled to write, by a sense of duty to a cause or an idea, or they were written with an eye to the royalties. Not that one kind is nec- essarily any better than the other. The author of the couldn't-be-helped book may maunder on about his favorite subject as a lover babbles about his mistress, never quite happy unless he...

PREFACE

For ten years it has been my pleasure to write articles on the leading hymns and hymn- writers for The Christian Endeavor World, one a month. These hymns were suggested as memory hymns for the Christian Endeavor societies, the hymns to be sung from memory in the meetings, and the facts regarding their writers to be stated to the young people. The considerable amount of hymn lore thus collected is here presented in permanent form for the use of pastors,...

INTRODUCTION

This book in every line has been dictated by experience. There are no mere theories in it. Every plan suggested has been tried successfully in some society of Christian Endeavor. It is given to the public in response to a very generally expressed desire for such a publication. For several years past many correspondents have suggested that among the growing Christian Endeavor Societies, with their hundreds of thousands of members, such a book had...

PREFACE

"The so-called personal liberty argument in behalf of alcoholic drink loses more and more of its force.

If the public welfare requires the suppression of the alcoholic drink traffic it should be suppressed.'' -From an...

PREFACE

Carlyle says there arc in the British Museum enormous folios, many of which have been printed, but never edited, except "As you edit wagon loads of broken bricks and dry mortar simply by tumbling up the wagon," To attempt to edit the account of the proceedings of the Seventh Annual Conference of the Societies of Christian Endeavor is an undertaking your Secretary finds almost an impossibility.

I would that all could have been present at this, the...

Do you want your children to be actively serving in the local church when they turn thirty and beyond? Why The Stay can help Much has been written about younger adults and their departure from church involvement. Concerned parents and church leaders want to know what has caused them to depart. Instead of asking why young adults are leaving the church, Parr and Crites conducted a national research project of those who grew up in church and are still serving faithfully. They studied why they have stayed and the results are compelling. You will learn as a parent, pastor, or church leader...
