The Christian Endeavor movement.

Inc coming celebration In the city of
Portland, OF the tenth anniversary of
the formation of the first Society of Chris
tian Endeavor is an event of no small inter-
est to the world at large.
The celebration will take the form of a
'decennial convention" to be held February
End, 3rd and 4th, 1891, in Portland. Promi-
nent speakers and workers from all parts of
the country will be present. Reduced rates
will be granted on all the railroads and
Portland will be filled with the largest
crowd of earnest young Christians that has
ever gathered in the old Pine Tree State.
Maine has been true to her motto, "Di-
rigo." "We lead" in this great movement
for the salvation of young people and their
training for active service in the church.
The first. Society of Christian Endeayor was
organized by Rev. f. E. Clark in the Willis
ton church, Portland, February 2ud,
1881. In less than one decade the number of
societies has increased to over 10 600 and the
membership to over 10000. Societies are
found in all the Evangelical denominations
and In neatly all civilized countries and
missionary lands on the face of the globe.
A British section has been formed in Eng
land with headquarters in London, and
Victorian section In Australia.
The objec. of the society is ito promote an
earnest Christian life among the members,
to increase their mutual acquaintance and to
make them more useful In the service of
God" Every active member pledges him
self to definite personal service for Christ
1t is because the society has given the young
people something to do and has appealed to
the heroic element in them that 1t has been
so successful. Each society works in con-
nection with some local church and its OBJ.
ject is to build up the Kingdom of Christ in
connection with that church.
Missionaries who have returned to this
country after an absence Of many years say
shat the most noticeable thing in connec-
ton with the church work of today is the
increased activity of the young people, and
this is largely due to the influence of the So
ciety Of Christian Endeavor' The D. met
pies and methods of the society have been
copied by many others under different
names, but the great International and inter
UNCONVENTIONAL Christian Eudeavor move
ment is growing more rapidly than ever be-
fore In all its history.

And it isn't a bit too

With few exceptions the

and there's an undoubted
advantage in seeing them
at their best.
And that's nozO of

Take for example the

the little section that's

just arrived.
And in this entire col

there's hardly a duplicate
first corners get the
choice SO that's a good
enough reason why you
shouldn't delay seeing.
