VERY NICE INDEX IN BACK. FOR THE FOLLOWERS, LOVERS OOF CHRISTIANITY AND RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS. Francis Edward Clark (12 September 1851 - 26 May 1927) was an American clergyman. Clark was born of New England ancestry in Aylmer, Quebec, Canada.[1] He was the son of Charles C. Symmes, but took the name of an uncle, the Rev. E.W. Clark, by whom he was adopted after his father's death in 1853. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1873 and from Andover Theological Seminary in 1876, was ordained in the Congregational ministry, and was pastor of the Williston West Church at Portland, Maine, from 1876 to 1883, and of the Phillips Congregational church, South Boston, Massachusetts, from 1883 to 1887.[2] On 2 February 1881, he founded in Portland, the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, which, beginning as a small society in a single New England church, developed into a great interdenominational organization, which in 1908 had 70,761 societies and more than 3,500,000 members scattered throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, Australia, South Africa, India, Japan and China. After 1887, he devoted his time entirely to the extension of this work, and was president of the United Societies of Christian Endeavor and of the World's Christian Endeavor Union, and editor of the Christian Endeavor World (originally The Golden Rule). The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor was founded in Portland, Maine, in 1881 by Francis Edward Clark, as an interdenominational Christian youth society encouraging them to "work together to know God in Jesus Christ". Operating internationally as World's Christian Endeavor Union, the society's professed objective is "to promote an earnest Christian life among its members, to increase their mutual acquaintanceship, and to make them more useful in the service of God."

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Brown cloth covers with gilt at front and spine.This volume describes the last six weeks of a long journey undertaken in the interests of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. Interest is perhaps added to this journey from the fact that we were the first Americans,…and in all probability the first foreigners, to go around the world by the new route. The trans- Siberian all-steam route had been opened for a few days when we took passage to Vladivostock. The book has tanning and foxing throughout, the covers chow rubbing and wear at the extremities and something has been removed from inside the front cover leaving some damage. . **.

Add to basketCondition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. A DAILY GUIDE FOR THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR MOVEMENT. Founded in 1881 by Rev. Francis E. Clark, the Christian Endeavor movement became one of the most influential Protestant youth and lay organizations of the late nineteenth century. This volume reflects the movement's emphasi…s on personal devotion, prayer meetings, moral development, and active Christian fellowship through daily readings and inspirational selections. Arranged in calendar form, the work combines scripture passages, poetry, religious quotations, and reflections designed for individual meditation and communal religious life. THE ART OF THE VICTORIAN GIFT BOOK. Beyond its devotional purpose, this volume reflects the Victorian tradition of transforming religious works into carefully designed presentation objects. The refined decorative binding, original publisher's gift box, and illustrated format demonstrate the period's emphasis on combining spiritual reflection with beauty and craftsmanship. The volume's Art Nouveau-inspired ornament and elegant presentation place it within the broader tradition of late nineteenth-century gift books, where books were created not only to be read but also treasured as personal possessions. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Octavo, 7.5 inches tall. Bound in light green buckram over boards, stamped in gilt and dark green with decorative floral ornament. Gilt spine and cover titles. Housed in the original decorated publisher's gift box. x, [2], 2-373 pages, including index. Illustrated with 12 plates, including frontispiece after Thorwaldsen. Devotional entries arranged in calendar form with ruled spaces for recording birthdays. CONDITION: Near Fine. Minimal handling wear to the book itself, which remains unusually well preserved. Buckram bright and fresh with gilt still attractive. Publisher's gift box remains solid and presentable with light handling wear, two split/open corners, and two small spots to the front panel. Retains the issued glassiline dust jacket. A notably superior survival for a boxed devotional volume of this period. SCARCITY NOTE: OCLC/WorldCat records approximately 13 institutional holdings. The title appears infrequently in the trade, particularly in the original publisher's gift box. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - THE DEVOTIONAL CULTURE OF VICTORIAN CHRISTIANITY This volume represents the intersection of religious practice, youth organization, and Victorian gift-book culture. Through the Christian Endeavor movement, Francis E. Clark helped shape a new model of Protestant participation centered on personal faith, organized fellowship, and active service. The attractive Art Nouveau binding and original presentation box demonstrate the period's belief that devotional works could be both spiritually meaningful and aesthetically refined, transforming a daily reading volume into a treasured personal object.
