Having perfected a new electric Photo Printing Machine
whereby I can print approximately 400 Postal Photos to the
hour I desire to give it a practical business test in order to
determine both its capacity as well as its factor in reduction
of cost in the finished photographs
Hence the 95c Per Dozen Postals
I want you all to come I want the limit of my electric printer crowded to its fullest
capacity for a period of 1 5 day averages My attempt will be to deliver ever photo the
second day following your sittings

bers Rev Francis E Clark
Its Founder
Portland Me Founded in 1SS1 by
Pev Francis Edward Clark in Willston
Congregational church Portland tho
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor has increased from one soci
ety to over 72000 societies that thrive
in every corner of the earth Its roll
of membership has grown from a list
of 57 to an enrollment of over 3500
000 Twenty nine years ago it was
known as an innovation in a parish
of Portland
Jk Clark for years had faced the
demand of the age for religious youth
He had studied the problem from
every aide and had sought information
from all known sources concerning the
various plans that had matured from
time to time in Christian history for
developing the religious life and ac
tivity of young people He grew de
spondent of ever producing anything
new and effective but yet in all hum
ble simplicity he made an attempt and
t proved to be the most successful in
the history of Christendom Its suc
cess is due to the sincerity and able
ress of its founder and the definite
nees of its purpose Mr Clark al
kough unconscious of it at the time
is a man chosen bj Providence for a
ife career an apostle in a movement
it hich is essentially progressive and
destined to pass on through history an
ctive and far reaching force in the
lfairs of the Christian world
In Dr Clark we are brought face to
ace with a man who is a revelation
s far as executive ability and versa
tility are concerned He has been
oiany things to meny men He has
been a pastor and leader an organizer
jnd a diplomat an advocate and de
render of young people a gentleman
and a Christian His gentleness has
tnade him great and his humility has

Rev Francis C rk
saved him from the oangers to which
ride and honor are ever exposed As
n editor antt author he has been vo
luminous and he has made copy not
nly for his own official paper and
publishers but for numerous editors
Mid magazines He has written for
Ifia i aadws he ias traveled
in this and other lands In his con-
action with Christian Endeavor ho
believes that Providence has opened
a way before him and bidden him to
walk in divinely chosen paths This
has given him courage and zeal
Remarkable as has been his success
twice so has been his spirit of gener
osity and self sacrifice Quitting a
Portland pastorate he has never re
ceived compensation in any form from
tho United Society which he founded
and of which he is head and to jrhicli
he has given more than a quarter cen
tury of service He has supported
himself by his literary work and even
when traveling over the world which
he has done as have few other men
he has paid his own expenses by writ
ing for the magazineo and other sim
ilar work
Largely because of Dr Clarks per
sonal efforts made during tours in the
various parts of the world the Chris
tian Endeavor movement has become
world wide Dr Clark is a quiet self
contained man He is not a great
speaker afld kis lea derahip of young
reople depends upon personality
rather than upon voice and mapner
Ke has administrative ability to a
marked degree and has been able be
cause of it to surround himself in hie
work with other men who becan e 1
prime favorites with the young peojrte
although Dr Clark has always been
their ideal Dr Clark is a native of
Aylmer Quebec is 59 yeans old and
has traveled around the world four
times in the interest of the Christian
Endeavor movement
The society has taken its place
among the permanent organizations
and institutions of religion It has
taken hold of the problem of training
tho youth as no society in the history
cf Christendom has ever done before
It has toiled through a few years and
now has reached a stage in its history
where it has nothing to do but grow
and expand unhindered and free Dr
Clark is still at its head and the great

exclaimed Why you cant bo back
that way alonei Our bulls out there
in the back lot and only day fore

With some misgivings on the part
of the women the little procession
started back under the guidance of
the young man the ladies carrying
the butter All went well till they
