And now while we have five different denominations in our Union, 1
believe you will agree with me that
the Christian Endeavor makes a
Presbyterian a better Presbyterian;
a Methodist a better Methodist ; an
Episcopalian' a better Episcopalian;
a Baptist a better Baptist sa Congre-.
gationalist a better Congregationalist;
andwhile that is true it at the same
time demonstrates that the crown of
the movement is our blessed inter-
denominattenal fellowship.
The Pledge demands loyality to
