signed after a service Of two or three
months. Mr. William III. Daniel was then
chosen to fill the unexpired term. and was
reelected for the full term at the begin
ming of the present season. In recent
years it has been the policy of the society
to elect it's president from out of the ac-
tive membership, practice which has re-
suited in more lively interest and par
ticipation in the affairs of the orSaniza-
ton on the part of the chief officer.
But under the old regime the burden CT
responsibility fell upon the secretary. and
IL was largely the result of his good or Ill
management that the affairs of the So
ciety prospered or were attended with mis-
fortune. 1t is due, therefore. to the sagac-
ity and good business sense of its secre-
taries-all of them men of capacity-that the
society finds itself today so firmly estab-
lished upon a sound basis and it's affairs
in such an encouraging condition of pros
perity. The honor roll Is as follows: u A.

FOURTEEN YEARS OF ACTIVE WORK
A Sketch Of the Progress Of This
FIourishing Organization.
THE JUNIOR CIETIES

Fourteen years ago today, in a quiet. un-
prefer tious church in the city of. Portland,
Me-. the first Young Peoples Society OF
Christian Endeavor was formed. This an
niversary will be celebrated tomorrow by
the various societies in this city, as well as
by the $1,000 societies in existence. having
an aggregate membership of 2,223, 500.
Each of these societies is organized upon
essentially the same plan as the original
society, and each member bound by prac-
tically the same obligations as were as
sumed by the members of that first society.
To intelligently understand the reasons
for the formation of the first Society OF
Christian Endeavor one must inquire into
the circumstances and conditions OF the
period of it's inception.
For many years prior to the organization
of the first society pastors everywhere mad
felt the necessity for some instrumentality
by which young converts in their churches
might be trained in ways of practical
Christian work. In those days it was not
customary with large majority of church
es to admit to membership in the church
the young people in the congregation.
The Sunday school, though exceedingly
useful and successful as medium of in
struction. did not from the very nature of
its organization provide for the young peo-
pie the active duties which were essential

keeping the members together and the
footing.
For many years, from the organization
of the society until her DEATH Mrs Q. A.
Pearson was the societys pianist. She
vas a painstaking and conscientious
worker. a loyal and devoted friend and her
loss was felt as a serious blow. The pres
ent accompanies are John Porter Law
renee and Mrs. j. s. Thomas.
DR.. Harry c. Sherman was the first di-
rector of the chorus. and, as has been
mentioned. his service covered period of
nearly nine years. His successor was Mr..
Walter Damrosch, who was nominally con-
ductor for ~wo seasons, although the bulk
of the duties belonging to his Office were
necessarily assumed by his assistants,
Messrs- Z. Szemelenyi, N. Du Shane Glow
ard and John Porter Lawrence. The pres
ent director is Prof Josef Kaspar, and it
Is due to his conscientious fidelity, pa
thence and devotion to his work and the
the individuals of the chorus that a degree
of excellence has been attained which
has never been surpassed in the history
OF the organization and that has won fer
1t such deserved commentator. In the
beginning of the Societys existence the
chorus numbered about sixty voices; for
several years its numerical strength ranged
between one hundred and one hundred and
fifty, while now there upon the roll
in the neighborhood Of three hundred and
fifty names of active, singing members.
The size of the chorus is not, however, a
primary object; excellence of quality and
perfect balance and blending of parts are
more eagerly sought after.

The Present Management.
Upon the board Of directors devolves the
management of the society. Formerly the
board was divided into three committees,
but at a recent meeting of the members of
the society the constitution was so amended

necessary for an al tistic finish. Three
years later this work was successfully re-

the society sang Dvorak's "Specters
