The WORLD'S MOST TRAVELED MAN

BY KARL LEHMANN,

mted aoc/£ty of cmMam I

fOUBTLESS no other man in the world h|p traveled so many miles and done so large a work for the world as Rev. Francis E. Clark, D. D., LL. D„ founder of the Christian Endeavor society and president of the World’s Christian Endeavor union. Doctor Clark was born at Aylmer, Que., Canada, September 12, 1851. Thirty-three years ago Dd'ctor Clark was pastor of the Williston Congregational church of Portland, Me. He was then a young man just fresh from college hnd» seminary. Williston church was a typical New England church, with all of the problems and difficulties that those churches bad to meet. In the winter of 1880-1881 a series of special evangelistic services in the church had led a great many <young people into church membership. This wise young pastor realized that if those young people were to be held for the church they must be trained for service, they must have something to do, and they must be shown how to do it. He called his young people together, and on February 2, 1881, the first Christian Endeavor society was formed, the- first Christian Endeavor pledge was signed, and the following Sunday the first Christian Endeavor prayer meeting was held. /From that small beginning in Portland the society has spread and grown, until today there are more than 80,000 Christian Endeavor societies in the* world, with more than 4,000,000 members. There are Christian Endeavor societies in every country of the world, and each week meetings are conducted in more than eighty different languages; the literature of the society has been printed in as-many tongues. Something like 1,500 dally, weekly and monthly' periodicals carry Christian Endeavor news; more than 200 periodicals are devoted entirely to the work of Christian Endeavor. There are more than 750 different kinds of books, leaflets, cards, etc., published for use in the work of the society and as aids to it. Millions of pages of special printed matter are issued every year. From almost the very beginning of the movement Christian Endeavor has been interdenominational in its scope and work. Though it began in a Congregational church, today there are 87 different denominations that take Christian Endeavor as their young people’s society. Throughout the world there are probably more Methodist Christian Endeavor societies than those of any other denomination, though in North America many of the Methodist churches have a purely denominational youhg people’s society. On this continent there are more societies in Presbyterian churches than in those of any other denomination; the Christian church has the eecond largest number of societies, the Congregational third, the Baptlpt fourth. In England, Burma and India the Baptists lead in Christian Endeavor, while in Australia, Spain, France and other countries the Methodists lead; in Norway, Denmark, Germany and Russia the Lutherans lead; in Italy the Waldenaians, etc. No agency has done more to bring the Christian people of all denominations closer together than has this great society. The present tendency I toward a unity of Christian people and ’ churches is due, ih a large part, to Christian Endeavor, with its more than 12,000 union meetings every <year, ranging from local and county Christian Endeavor union gatherings of one* hundred or less to the state, intiernational 'and world’s conventions, ' with thousands and tens of thousands of delegates present. Some of the cbunty conventions in this country are large;

Los Angeles county, Cal., seldom has fewer than 1,000 at its county convention; Middlesex county, Mass., had 2,406 at its convention this year. The twenty-seventh international and fifth world’s convention is to be, held in Chicago July 7-12, 1915. Because, this work is world-wide in its character the time came when it was necessary that some one man should give all of his time to the work, traveling fjom state to state, province to province and country to country. There were no funds available for this work from which to employ a worker; but twenty-nine years ago Francis E. Clark gave up the pastorate of the Phillips Congregational church, Boston, where he had gone from Portland, and through all these years he has given himself to this work,, without one penny of salary from the Christian Endeavor movement. Doctor Clark has earned his own living by the use of bis pen, the books he has written, and the special articles for magazines and newspapers. Not only has Doctor Clark earned his own salary thus, but he has paid practically all of his own salary, steamship and hotel bills, as he has traveled in foreign countries for Christian Endeavor. Doctor Clark has gone *flve times around the world, and many times to Europe and Great Britain. There is no country in which he has not traveled and spoken for Christian Endeavor. It is estimated that he has traveled at least 825,000 miles—32s,ooo miles of this by water, 435,000 miles by rail, and fully 25,000 by wagon, horseback, camel, in jinrikishas, in man-carried hammocks, etc. ,He has addressed at least 2,000,060 people; he has been in the midst of danger by land and by sea, in religious rlote, in earthquakes, tornadoes, cyclones, blizzards, shipwreck, train wreck and a score of similar catastrophes. Doctor Clark has been received by presidents of the United States, of Panama, Peru, Argentine. Brazil, the kings of Norway, Sweden, Greece, the mikado of Japan and scores of other celebrities. There ie no American citizen who has been more greatly honored, and there is no more modest citizen anywhere. Christian Endeavorers have decided that they wish to build a memorial for Doctor Clark in appreciation of the many years of service for the cause, and they don’t want to wait until he is dead to do it They want to bring roses to him while he is alive. The matter was fully considered, and it seemed to all that the wisest and most substantial thing to do was to erect a building which should be the international Christian Endeavor headquarters. The plan calls for a five-story building, two stories of which shall be used for the offices of the movement, and thus save the $5,000 a year that is now paid in rents for that purpose, anfl three stories of the building to be rented to provide an income for the extension of the movement in this and other lands. This, with the profits of the publishing department, which has paid all of the expenses of the work in North America for more than twenty-five years, will be sufficient to permanently finance the world-wide work of this movement. This headquarters building is to, cost, when complete, including lot and furnishings, $300,000. One-half of this amount has been raised, and it is the purpose of the society to raise the last $150,000 by November of this year. A continent-wide campaign is being organized, and will be waged this fall. Every former Endeavorer, as well as present member of the society, will be urged to have some part in this matter, which will mean so much to the world-wide work of this great society, and will be a fitting testimonial of their appreciation of the great work

Reconstructing Delinquents.

Duluth is one American city that has learned to treat petty offenders with some degree of humanity and with the view to helping them, by punishment rather than to make them, worse. A work farm has been established, and there men who have been arrested for drunkenness and the numerous offenses to which reckless and unfortunate men are prone, are sent there to work in the fields or in a sawmill, and under the eyes of humane guards. There is every indication that the treatment is being appreciated and that the prisoners are being helped. It is to be hoped that the same plan may be successfully worked out for this city. On a larger scale, Cleveland is doing it with conspicuously good effect, and of still greater magnitude will be the new Ohio penitentiary, in Madison county, which is one of the great reforms of the present state administration. — Dayton News.

Slums at Sea.

Many will be surprised to read of slums at sea, and yet, as the London Times says, the statistics of mortality 0 in •the British mercantile marine give a very clear indication of tfie unsanitary conditions prevailing in many slums at sea. . The death rate'jier 1,000 from disease during the last 20 years has been consistently higher than that in the navy and army, and among the male population between the ages of twenty-three and forty-five years. Even during the South African war, with the exception of one year from July 1, 1899, to June 30, 1900, the death rate in the mercantile marine exceeded that in the army. The most significant figures are those which show that during the last ten yearsthe death rate in the mercantile marine per 1,000 has been considerably higher than that from all causes in the navy, and very much the same as that from all causes in the army.

If mental Ignorance is bliss, optical Ignorance is no less so.

HANDY TABLE FOR KITCHEN

Having Everything Handy for ths Cook Saves Many Steps In the Course of a Day,. First off if there are no shelves above the kitchen table she has some built, also a lower shelf on the table Itself. There she stands all mixing bowls for bread and cake; the rolling pin and board stand on the table shelf also. On the shelves above the table are all necessary provisions for the preparation of meals. There are jar* of flour, rice,*Bugars, spices; there are bottles of olive oil, vinegar, etc., for salads. * Then, hanging from little hooks screwed into the edge of these upper ehelves are all the instruments of preparation which will not fit into the table drawer. There are can opener, corkscrew, potato masher and many others. One well-known housewife invented an excellent device- to save work. Every cook knows how many dishes are dirtied in paring potatoes, fruits and vegetables. This wcman had a nice, new,, clean refuse pail put on the lower shelf of her kitchen table and directly above it she had a circle of wood cut out of the upper shelf, so that it opened right down into the top of the pail.—Exchange.

PROPER WAY TO MAKE SOUP

Preparation Worthy of More Attention Than Usually Is Given to This Part of the Menu,. To get the most out of a soup bone it should be fractured every inch of Its length. The soup should never stop cooking from the time it is put on the stove until it is done, although it should at no time boil furiously. Once the soup is started cooking no water should be added, as this spoils the flavor. , , The soup bone should be put into cold water, and no salt should be added until the soup is done, as the salt stops the flow of the juices. The soup should cook from five to seven hours at least. All the spices used in a soup should be put in whole —that is, whole black and white peppers, cloves, bay leaves, garlic, etc. One quart of water should be allowed for every pound of meat and bone, to begin with. This ie a rule of the creoles, but they make rich soup. If weaker soup is to be made, or if vegetables as wiell as meat are used in the stock, the amount of water can be Increased.

ADDS TO FLAVOR OF STEAK

For Those Fond of Rich Dishes This Mixture Is One That May Be Recommended. Take a fillet steak, cut 1% Inches thick. An hour before cooking, place in the following mixture, turning it two or three times: Four tablespoonfuls of mushroom catchup, two teaspoonfuls of brown sugar, one teaspoonful of chopped parsley, one-quar-ter of a teaspoonful of pepper, one-half a teaspoonful of salt and four tablespoonfuls of brotem sugar. After it has lain in this mixtures for an hour take it but, drain and dredge it with flour. Broil it or cook in a hot skillet with a large piece of butter for fifteen minutes, covering the skillet to keep in the steam. Remove the steak; add the vinegar mixture to the fat in the pan, boil it up and pour around the steak. This is delicious served with potato chips. /

Ham Croquettes.

Brown one tablespoonful of butter In a saucepan; when well-colored add two tablespoonfuls of flour and brown again. Then add one cupful of beef stock and stir until thick and smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper, add ten drops of onion juice and one tablespoonful of mushroom catchup, one cupful of boiled rice and one cupful of finely chopped ham. Mix and set away until cold. Then shape into croquettes, dip into slightly beaten egg, roll tn dried bread crumbs and fry in smoking hot fat. _ Serve with tomato or any good brown sauce.

Euclid Salad.

Six cooked beets, one Neufchatel cheese, one' pimento, one olive, paprika, salt capers and mayonnaise. Select nice bright red beets, not too large; scoop out the centers and fill with the cheese mixed with the' pimento'cut in small pieces, olives chopped fine, adding seasonings and enough mayonnaise to make smooth and creamy; put a caper on top, place on a lettuce leaf with a spoon of mayonnaise beside the beet. Garnish with tiny balls of beets rolled in very finely chopped parsley. Serve very cold.

Good Hand Cleanser.

Kerosene will clean your hands better than anything else after blacking a range or stove. Pour a little In the water, wash your hands in IL then wash them in tepid water, and finally with plenty of soap and a stiff nail brush in hob Wher. Finish up by rubbing the hands with lemon juice, rosewater; or glycerine and water. i

To Remove Shine on Cloth.

Take one ounce of lump ammonia and half an ounce of white castlle soap; put both in a jug and pour over them one pint of hot water until both •re dissolved. Then sponge the cloth With'a sponge dipped In the above preparation, which should be slightly warm. . ' ’ ;‘ v

GOODYEAR TIRES AT ANTE-BELLUM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. announce “No war prices on Goodyear Tires." Mr. F. A. Sieberllng, president of the Company, thus explains their unique position. • “We advanced Goodyear prices, as others did theirs, when the. rubber panic came. Almost in a day crude rubber rose in New York from 55 cents per pound to much over a dollar. "The New York supply was too small to consider. We cabled our London people to buy up the pick of the rubber there. By acting quickly and paying cash they obtained 1,500,000 pounds of the finest rubber. "That big supply of rubber is now nearly all on the way to the Goodyear factory in Akron. It constitutes the best of the London supply. “We are using the same grade of rubber and the same amount of it as we always have used in these tires “We are running our factory with three shifts of men, twenty-four hours a day. So long as we remain in this fortunate position on rubber, we shall supply tire users at before-war prices to the limit of our capacity ”

NO EXCUSE FOR EARLY RISING

Man Who Gets Up at Dawn Is Stupid, Is Assertion Madp by Father Dwight. The arrogance of the man who arises to the minor heroism Of a cold bath has been complained of by less heroic folk who arise to a tepid or warm one. To be set apart by the ability to stand the shock of cold water has seemed to less vigorous folk an unsubstantial claim to immortality. It lacks moral sufficiency and is too much made of by the cold bather. Another arrogance is given consideration by the Rev. Walter Dwight, S. ip America. It is the arrogance of early risers. Father Dwight denies them heroism and enters into doubt as to their intelligence. As a rule" he finds them a “notably arrogant set," appearing tp believe that they move on a “higher ethical plane.” Every normal human being, not given ordinarily to early rising, but being on occasion tempted or forced into it, has felt the strange spiritual afflatus, the moral patting on'the back In consequence thereof. The feeling that a good deed has been done for a naughty world is inexplicable, but supreme. Father Dwight is remorseless. The early riser is the least intelligent of mankind.

FOOD FACTS What An M. D. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician went through a food experience Which he makes public. “It was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nut* food and I also know, from having prescribed It to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food is a wonderful rebullder and restorer of nerve and brain tissue, as well as muscle. it Improves the digestion and sick patients gain very rapidly, just as I did in strength and weight “I was in such a low state that I had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of this state, but two months there did not improve me; in fact, I was not quite as well as when I left home. "My food did not sustain me and it became plain that I must change. Then I began to use Gtape-Nuts food and in two weeks I could walk a mile without fatigue, and in five weeks returned to my home and practice, taking up hard work again. Since that time I have felt as wen and strong as I ever did in my life. “As a physician who seeks to help an sufferers, I consider it a duty to make these facts public." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
