Here is a little Info on Francis Clark: Francis Edward Clark, (born Sept. 12, 1851, Aylmer, Quebec, Can.—died May 26, 1927, Newton, Mass., U.S.), Congregational churchman and writer who founded and led Christian Endeavor.
Clark graduated from Dartmouth College in 1873 and Andover Theological Seminary in 1876. He was pastor of churches in Portland, Maine (1876–83), and South Boston (1883–87). In 1881 he founded the United Society of Christian Endeavor, an autonomous interdenominational organization of young people. Its members pledged to lead a Christian life, to pray to God and read the Bible every day, and to participate actively in the work of the church. In 1887 he resigned his pastorate to serve as the organization’s president.
Clark became president of the World Christian Endeavor Union in 1895 and traveled around the world five times in the interests of its work. Clark also edited The Christian Endeavor World (1887–1919) and wrote many books on religious themes for young people.

International Society of Christian Endeavor, original name United Society Of Christian Endeavor, interdenominational organization for Protestant youth in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. It was founded in 1881 by Francis Edward Clark, who served as president until 1927. Members of the society pledged to try to make some useful contribution to the life of the church. Other churches soon organized Christian Endeavor societies, and the movement grew rapidly in the United States.

The purpose of the International Society of Christian Endeavor is “to promote an earnest Christian life among its members, to increase their mutual acquaintance, to train them for work in the church, and in every way to make them useful in the service of God and their fellow men.” The organization publishes a periodical, Christian Endeavor World, and holds conventions biennially.

The World’s Christian Endeavor Union, (WCEU), organized in 1895, is a cooperative organization for Christian Endeavor groups in more than 75 countries. It holds conventions every four years. Headquarters for both organizations are in Columbus, Ohio. Thanks for looking at my item and Happy offerding.
