century which is now drawing to a close.
Just before leaving, DR.. Clark sent the fol-
lowing letter to President Metcalf of the
District Christian Endeavor Union:
"As sail today for the other side of the
sea, I desire to send you word of greet
ing and Godspeed in the work of the COM
ing year. feel that In many respects this
year is the most promising and hopeful OF
any upon which the Christian Endeavor
movement has entered. 1t will mark the
completion of our first quarter-century as
society, and will inaugurate, l believe,
new and larger things for the future
From all parts of the Christian En-
deavor world comes good news of constant
progress and the blessing of God. Every
mail from the missionary lands brings It'd
ings of the way God is using Christian En-
deavor societies for the conversion of the
young and their establishment in the faith.
In our own country, l believe, the response
to Gods leadings will be no less prompt
and earnest. From many quarters l hear
that the goal of the four millions pro-
posed at Baltimore has been adopted by the
Endeavorers. and that they will strive for
a million churchgoers. million new
church members, million new Endeavorers
and a million dollars for Missions I hope
that in the District of Columbia this ap-
peal may strike a responsive chord and that
through the efforts of the Endeavorers the
kingdom of our Lord may be greatly adj
vanced during this coming year.
II shall often think of you and your work,
and shall pray for Gods special blessing
upon it."
