This early 20th century volume offers a fascinating glimpse into the Christian Endeavor movement, a pioneering youth organization that swept across America in the late 1800s. Founded by Francis E. Clark in 1881, the Christian Endeavor Society aimed to engage young people in religious activities and community service. This manual, published just over 30 years after the movement’s inception, provides a comprehensive overview of its history, guiding principles, and organizational structure. Clark’s influential work captures the fervor of the era’s Protestant revival and sheds light on the societal forces that shaped the lives of countless American youth. For collectors, this 1912 edition represents an important artifact from a formative period in American religious and social history. Readers will find rich context on the values, aspirations, and challenges facing turn-of-the-century Christian youth.
