Chronicles of the Young Peoples
Society of Christian Endeav-
or at Lexington.

Now it came to pass in the year 1883, in a
place called Lexington, that the people
mOurned because their young men and their
young maidens refused 10 call upon the name
of their God publicly. Therefore. at this
time, there arose up a leader, even the
preacher who had been sent to minister 10
them in holy places.
lie called together the wise women OF his
congregation, and said unto them. know ye
not, my sisters. what u heinOus sin We are
cpmmIttingp Our young men are gOOdly to
look upon, and our maidens fair TO the eye,
but tho heart and the understanding refuse to
come to God and confess HIM publicly.
Therefore, doth it not behOOve Ills to be up
and stirring; calling our youths and our
maidens to came out from the world, and to
d. that which is most pleasing IN the sight of
our God 2"
Now these words found favor In the eyes Of
the wise women, and u multitude was invited
TO come and join in the good work. The
young men and the young maidcns, the old
men, and the elder women gathered them
selves together and formed ''The Society of
Christian EndeayOr."
Now II happened that a young mar called
Joseph, OF gOodly presence, and well spoken
of by all the congregation, was called to be
their leader, and another youth by the name
Of Uriah was call TO assist him. Also two
wise women called Addie and Lee were
chosen by the congregation as a prayer meet.
ing committee. while some of the best of the
youths and maidens were appointed Il lookout
committee.
For a time all went well. at came even to
pass, that the trumpeters and the singers
were as one, to make one sound In praisins
and thanking the Lord, and they lifted up
their voices praising and thanking the Lord"
But after a time Joseph, the leader, came
and said:-"KuOw ye not, my sisters, the
harvest is even now at hand. The fields are
bending meath the weight of the ripeued
grain, and ] must hasten TO my fields lest my
harvest be lost, and l pray you, therefore, for
a time to excuse me-" Now these seemed
wise words. and he was allowed to depart.
But a murmuring arose among the children.
The maidens refused to recite, to lead. to
pray, and The youths brought forward first
one excuse and then another. The leader,
Joseph, tarried in his harvest fields. Then
some OF the wise women whose places were
at the prayer meeting ceased to come, and
the voice ofdistress was abroad in the land.
These be The Chronicles of the Young
Peoples Society OF Christian Endeavor' Of
the Christian church at Lexington, and such
OF the youths and maiiens as are still trust
ing and working" and trying to tsach others
concerning their God. are ralIying around
the cross and seeking to stir up others.
