OF the Christian Endeavor movement
in the forty years since it was started
was outlined by DIR. Francis E. Carl,
Endea1 or Union in the course of j
sermon at the Elliott church here TO-
day. He said the anniversary OF the
formation of the first society on Feb
2 1881, in the Williston church of Port
land, Maine, would beobserved this
week by special meetings and page
ants all over the world.
DIR. Clark estimated that from tWen-
ty to twenty two millions of people in
all lands We're now or had been in
their youth connected with the socie-
ty and that one in six of the people
of the United States had had some
connection with the organization.
Without ecclesiastical backing or
any large expenditures of money! he
said. 1.-The society has spread into all
Protestant denominations and into
practically every country on the globe.
