CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS IN THE A. M. A. CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS.
BY REV. GEORGE W. MOORE.
The first Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of the District of Columbia was organized fifteen years ago, in the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, Washington, D. C.
When this Society was organized the place of its location, "Hell's Bottom," was the most notorious section of the national capital. There were seventeen saloons within two squares of our mission and several gambling places were in full blast. There were more cutting and shooting affrays, more police on duty and more subjects for the hospital and station-house than in any other section of the District of Columbia. We have known of three murders in the community in a single night.
