MR.. WILLIAM r. KENNEDY,
(State President)

| instruction will be used. One afternoon
will be devoted to the Juniors. Bright
methods for the little folks may be ex-
pected.
Reduced rates on all railroads have
been secured. Free entertainment for
delegates will be provided In the homes
Of Norfolk Endeavorers. Altogether 1t is
hoped that this will be the most deeply
spiritual and profitable Christian En-
deavor convention yet held in Virginia.
HOW THE MOVEMENT BEGAN.
Willlston church. in Portland, Me-, had
as its pastor in 1881 Rev Francis T..
Clark. The problem of what to do with
the young people of his church con-
fronted him, as it had done many other
pastors. He felt the need of training
them in the duties of personal religion,
OF church membership and in general
Christian activity. Pastor Clark's solu-
ton OF this difficult and important prob
lem was the organization OF the first
Young Peoples Society of Christian En-
deavor, on February 2, 1851.
The spread of the movement proves
how satisfactorily 1t met widely felt
want. In 1882 there were 4Sl members
In the various societies then organized
Since then that handful has Increased,
million members in all parts of the world
The society is now found In almost all
of the evangelical denominations, and
Is growing with remarkable rapidly. Its
encouragement of INSTRUMENTATION
fraternal fellowship is doing much TO
promote the cause of true Christian
unity; not necessarily organic unity, that
Is not desirable, but union in heart and
purpose. The great annual international
conventions have been phenominally
large gatherings Of consecrated workers.
and fountain-heads of inspiration and in
fiuence for the whole movement.
FOR CHRIST AND THE CHURCH.
Tho Christian Endeavor Society took as
its motto, For Christ and the Church."
which guarantees loyalty to fundamental
Christian TRUTH as well as to the local
church. The natural outgrowth Of this
motto has been the idea Of deepening
the spiritual life. One thing commends
Christian Endeavor to all denominations,
and that Is the fact that 1t is entirely
under the control of the local church.
The society must be what the church Is
In which it exists. 1t may be Presby-
terrain, Baptist, or Methodist at home.
In the great conventions it is what all
would have 1t be--Christian-the members
there seeing Jesus only.
THREE CARDINAL PRINCIPLES.
The three cardinal principles OF the
movement are the pledge, the consecra-
ton meeting, and a system OF commit
tees for practical Christian service.
In the pledge we have a public com
mitment to a plan of duties that have
been outlined for our future actions. 1t
