LOCAL ENDEAVORER
SKETCHES HISTORY
Tells of Accomplishments by
Workers Since Founding.

II was on the evening of February
=. 1881, at the parsonage of Willis
ton Congregational Church in Port
land. Me, that DR.. Francis f. Clark
founded the first Young Peoples So
ciety of Christian Endeavor sec
ond society was formed in North
Congregational Church in Newbury-
port, Mass, in October of the same
year. and from then on the move
ment has grown until today Chris
tian Endeavor is found the world
over.
The Christian Endeavor motto is
For Christ and the Church" Its
principles involve denominational 10y
alloy and interdenominational fellow
ship. While an Fndeavorer is first
of all loyal to his own church. he
also enjoys the fellowship of En-
deavorers of other denominations. as
with but one or two exceptions all
denominations have adopted Chris
tian Endeavor as a training school
for the future church workers.
There are over 100 c. z. societies
in the District of Columbia, includ
ing Junior. intermediate and Young
Peoples societies. all of which are
members Of the District of Column
bia Christian Fndeavor Union. with
headquarters at 1925 q street north
west. which union acts as an in
termediary between the individual So
ciety and the United Society Of Chris
tian Endeavor headquarters at Bos-
ton. Mass, of which DR.. Francis L.
Clark is now serving his thirty-third
year as president.
Last December a District of Co.
lumbia Christian Endeavor Alumni
Association was organized at a din
ner at which DR.. Daniel \. Polling,
associate president of the United So
ciety of Christian Endeavor. presid
ed. This association has about $50
members. with Mr. Percy s. Foster
as its president. The main object
is TO keep in touch and sympathy
with Christian Endeavor those who
have relinquished active work in the
societies.
The Christian Endcavor Sunday
evening prayer meetings represent
but 4 small portion OF the activities
of the societies. 4 great many So
cieties conduct meetings at Central
Union and Gospel missions, social
evenings are held. relief work among
the poor is carried on. and reform
movements such as the proper OBJ
servance of the Sabbath, prohibition.
etc. are actively supported.
Christian Endeavor has played an
important part in uniting the young
people of all denominations under
a definite common standard of serv-
ice and a definite commitment to that
standard, as evidenced in the open
ing sentence of the c. Z. pledge:
Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ
for strength, ! promise Him that I
will strive to do whatever He would
like to have me do"
