MARVEL OF SUCCESS
Christian Endeavor Society Cir
dies the World.
Greatest Religious Organization In
History, With over 100000 Mem
bers-Rev. Francis e. Clark
Its Founder.

Portland, Me.-Founded in 1881, by
Rev. Francis Edward Clark In Willston
Congregational church, Portland, the
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor has increased from one soci-
ETY. to over $4,000 societies that thrive
in every corner Of the earth It's roll
of membership has grown from list
OF 81 to an enrolment of over $780,
900. Twenty-Five years ago 1t was
known as an innovation in a parish
of Portland.
Mr. Clark for years had faced the
demand of the age for religious youth.
He had studied the problem from
every side and had sought information
from all known sources concerning the
various plans that had matured from
time to time in Christian history for
developing the religious life and ac-
tivity of young people. He grew de-
spondent of ever producing anything
new and effective; but yet in all hum
BILE simplicity he made an attempt and
it proved to be the most successful in
the history Of Christendom. It's sue
cess is due to the sincerity and able
ness of its founder, and the definite
ness Of its purpose. Mr.. Clark, al
though unconscious of it at the time,
is a man chosen by Providence for
life career, an apostle in a movement
which is essentially progressive and
destined to pass on through history an
active and far reaching force in the
affairs of the Christian world
In DR.. Clark we are brought face to
face with a man who is a revelation
as far as executive ability and versa
tility are concerned. He has been
many things to many men. He has
been pastor and leader, an organizer
and a diplomat, an advocate and de-
fender Of young people, a gentleman
and a Christian. His gentleness has
made him great and his humility has

subjects the speaker TO forfeit.
A forfeit is also incurred when @
question or answer once made is re

new ruler in Europe will not be

then will be under the regency Of her
mother, who is daughter Of Dom
Miguel, duke Of araganza. The grand

clarcd neutral territory in 1867 by the
Treaty Of London, has an area Of ee8

1914 II was under the king Of the
Netherlands. Its language Is even now

saved him from the dangers to which
pride and honor are ever exposed. AS
an editor and author he has been vo-
luminous and he has made copy not
only for his own official paper and
publishers, but for numerous editors
and magazines. He has written for
his readers wherever he has travelled
in this and other lands In his con-
nection with Christian Endeavor he
believes that Providence has opened
a way before him and hidden him to
walk in divinely-chosen paths. This
has given him courage and zeal.
Remarkable as has been his success,
twice so has been his spirit OF gener-
osity and self-sacrifice. Quitting a
Portland pastorate, he has never re-
ceived compensation in any form from
the United Society which he founded
and of which he is head and to which
he has given more than quarter CEN
fury of service. He has supported
himself by his literary work and even
when travelling over the world, which
he has done as have few other men,
he has paid his own expenses by writ
ing for the magazines and other SIM
liar work.
Largely because of DR.. Clark's per-
sonal efforts, made during tours in the
various parts of the world the Chris
tian Endeayor movement has become
world wide. Dr. CLARK is quiet, self
contained man. He is not a great
speaker, and his leadership of young
people depends upon personality
rather than upon voice and manner.
He has administrative ability to a
marked degree, and has been able be-
cause of 1t to surround himself in his
work with other men who became
prime favorites with the young people,
although DR.. Clark has always been
their ideal. DR.. Clark is native of
Aylmer, Quebec, is SO years old and
has Travelled around the world four
times in the interest OF the Christian
Endeavor movement
The society has taken its place
among the permanent organizations
and institutions of religion. 1t has
taken hold of the problem of training
the youth as no society in the history
of Christendom has ever done before
1t has toiled through few years and
now has reached stage In its history
where 1t has nothing to do but grow
and expand unhindered and free. DR.
Clark is still at It's head and the great
work which he is accomplishing is re-
markable.

GOOD THINGS.

A most appetizing breakfast dish Is
toast with a white sauce generously
seasoned with cheese and poured over
It.
Vermicelli added to a white sauce
or a tomato sauce is another good
dish for luncheon, on toast.
If there is a daughter or son away
at college, a chicken or small turkey.
or duck, roasted in paper bag, and
sent packed in new one, to be used
in warming 1t up if desired, will cause
son or daughter to rise up and call
his mother blessed"
Another dainty for that box Of
goodies is a nice cake. One that will
keep moist for several days, Is the
most satisfactory.
The layer cake of three layers, the
middle one of fruit and spices, put to-
gether with orange filling Is especial
ly inviting, and it will surely not last
long enough to dry.
Home made candy and some of
mothers good cookies, with a package
of thinly-sliced dried beef, should not
be forgotten in packing the box.
A Jar or two Of jam will delight the
heart of a boy, and his friends will ap-
preciate it as much as he.
Date cookies are another choice adj
dition. Bake oatmeal cookies and put
them together with stewed dates that
have been seasoned with lemon juice.
One has the individual taste to help
decide what is best to send in the
box.
The following is cake that many
would find too expensive, but for such
an occasion it will add to the pleas
ure if the pocketbook is deep enough:
Macmillan Cake.-Take two cups OF
powdered sugar, one cup Of black
berry jam, one cup of sweet milk, two
thirds of a cup of softened butter, five
eggs or the yolks of twelve, two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, spices to
taste; mix all together and bake In
layers. Put together with raisfns and
nuts and boiling frosting.

of little butter, If 1t is needed, on
serving.
