The Rev.

Charles J. Woodbridge, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Salisbury and speaker of the evening, asked the delegates to continue to work for Christianity through the society. Drawing a parallel between Isaac and the society, Mr. Woodbridge said that son of Abraham was a great man because he re-dug the wells that his father had once dug. The Christian Endeavor society dug wells of conviction, consecration and courage over 60 years ago, he declared.

These wells of conviction, consecration and courage are in danger of atheism, skepticism, agnosticism, "the world, the flesh and the devil," the minister said. It is the job of the young people of the society to dig again these wells just as Isaac dug the wells Abraham.
