President Clark Speaks.
In his annual address President F.
E. Clark proposed that every state
strive to gain at least ten per cent.
annually for the next ten years, thus
entering into a ten years extension
campaign. AS each state secures its
ten-per-cent. increase, a beautiful
foreign banner from some distant
land, representing the fellowship of
the movement, will be presented to
the state, and as for each new state
that is adm.tIed to the union a new
star is added to our national flag. so
for each ten per cent. of gain another
star Will be added to this foreign ban
ner until the ten show that the hun
dred per cent. has been gained An
increase campaign book will also be
opened at the headquarters of the
united society, in which a page each
year Will be devoted TO each state,
telling the story Of its growth in every
line of its endeavor. Christian En-
deavor, ne said, has appeared in many
unexpected places, on the sea and in
the camp, in the prison, in the life
saving station and the fire brigades,
in a post-ofice in Japan, in department
stores. in schoOlhouse districts and
neighborhood gatherings. All these
different lines of effort which Provi-
dence has so plainly marked out as
legitimate and most useful lines for
the Christian EndeavOr society show
how its principles may be extended
and the societies expanded.

Fresh-air work with vacation camps

The societies have covered In their
ministries of love the whole range of
philanthropic work for the poor, the
needy. and the unfortunate which

During the boer war, many
Christian Endeavor societies were
