HOWELL OF BOSTON EVERYBODY COME No date printed but Circa 1911.The first Christian Endeavor Society was formed on February 2, 1881, in Portland, Maine, under the direction of Francis E. Clark. While serving as pastor of the Williston Congregational Church in Portland, Maine, he organized the first Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. He was a lifelong leader in this movement.Occasional mass-meetings of the union two or three times a year was required of every union.
