II the early history OF the Christian
Endeavor movement Is surprising, the
later history is most astonishing, for
the successive conventions grew larger
and larger, until last year at Cleve-

there was an attendance OF 10000.

Clark and their son, Eugene. set out
on n journey around the world, and
everywhere he went he was received
with great enthusiasm, and, as n re-
suit, Christian Endeavor societies have
sprung up in every civilized country
