CHRISTIAN ENDEAV0R.
V
The Idaho Organization Now Holding
its Annual Convention in This City.

is branch of a great Chr stan society
which has footing in the greater part of
the civilized world, and has in a few
wears made wonderful strides in the |
growth of its membership and extent of |
its work in raising The moral tone of
humanity.
For long time the churches and min
listers were forming experimental societies
for work along particular line they had |
in mind, but none of them appeared to fill |
the field to satisfaction. Finally, on Feb
ruary 2, 1881, f. E. Clark, d. d., of Bos-
ton Mass, organized the first Christian
Endeavor Society, and soon after pub
lishcd an account of the results. 1t
seemed so fully to meet the requirements
desired, that it was at once generally
adopted by the ministry, and commenced
a rapid and remarkable growth, until to-
day it has membership of two and one
quarter millions. 1t has 100, 600 members
in England and Germany, organizations
in Asia and Japan and all told there are
10000 societies in the civilized world. 1t
includes nearly all denominations and
christian creeds.
A feature of the convention in which all
friends of the work are much interested is
the presence of Rev Clark, founder He
attends all the sessions and takes part in
the discussions He will talk tonight
about the organization. DR. Clark, about
year and half ago made a tour of the
world and has since been working in Gu
rope 1t will therefore be very interesting
TO hear his talk tonight
