Excerpt from The Young People's Pastor: A Book Showing, From the Experience of Many Pastors, How a Pastor May Most Successfully Conduct His Young People's Society Sometimes hear it said, If the Christian Endeavor Society does not succeed, it is the fault of the pastors. At the outset, I disavow any such sentiment. I have seen the society fail, through the fault of frivolous young people and worldly parents, Where the pastor was bending every energy to make it succeed; and I have seen it suc ceed, by virtue of zealous and godly young people, Where the pastor seemed to be bending every energy to make it fail. No; there are too many factors in the problem to allow us to lay the entire blame for failure on the pastors, or give them the entire credit for success.
