"a Quarter Century oil Christian En-
deavor" was the subject OF the program
carried out by the Christian Endeaver
Society OF the Free Baptist church at the
service, Sunday. The meeting proved to
be very instructive and interesting.
Facts were presented, relative to the
origin and growth OF the organ 'tion OF
Christian Endeavor, which were lnsplr'
ing all interested in religious affalrs
The first society was organized in the
Willston S rect church, Portland, Name,
Feb. 2. 1881 The number of members
was SO, and the pastor was Rev. Francis
Z. Clark, D. D. The pastor, prompted
bv love for the band of young people
who had recently become Christians, to
see them continue in christian service
and develop in christian character, has
lived to see that one society grow to
81. 400, and the number increase to over
three million.
He has watched its growth from one
city in one state, into every state o. the
union, and nearly every land on the
GLIDE. In the coun ries where Christian
Endeavor is found the United States lead
Britain and Ireland with 10 900 so.

22O; Brazil 60; Hawaii 54; Madagascar
90; Persia 65; Spain 40; while in 48
other countries the society has good
start.
But statistics tell but very small part
OF the story OF Christian Endeavor. The
different societies as the junior, inter.
mediate and senior, the mothers, prison
and floating, shows how it adopted Itself
to different classes of people for helpful
work. And the different committees as
the prayer-meeting, mission, fl ,wers,
temperance, Sunday school, good-cit z4n-
ship, good-literature, and others, show
the broad field OF christian work the
societies aim at accomplishing along
true practical spiritual lines.
The society OF the local Free B lptist
church has sent hundreds OF pieces OF
reading matter to destitute sections OF
our country where mission worke fad
such reading highly appreciated among
people where it is very scarce. This is
quoted as an illustrative incident OF the
good work that Christian Endeavor is
doing.
The one bond that unites this
great host OF Endeavorers together is the
Christian Endeavor pledge, which is
simple definite declaration OF Christian
principles. such as ANY and every Chris
tian recognizes as plain duty. the
watchwords inscribed upon the banners
of his noble army are 'One is your
Master even Cnrist AMI all We are
