Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United Brethren Endeavorer: A Manual for United Brethren Christian Endeavor Workers The first manual for United Brethren Christian Endeavor workers entitled "Effective Endeavor" was written by Henry F. Shupe, D.D., editor of the Watchword, in 1915. The edition issued at that time has been exhausted. There seems to be need, as there is constant demand for such a manual. The conference on Young People's work held in Dayton, Ohio, October 17-20, 1922, attended by sixty leading representatives of the Young People's work of the denomination, expressed the conviction that a book of this character is essential to effective service by the workers among our young people. There being so many changes in plans of work since Effective Endeavor was written, they therefore requested the author of this volume to undertake the preparation of a new publication. Since the author also recognizes the need for a book of this kind, and since there was none available, and since his own heart experienced a real burden to carry a message of practical plans to our faithful workers, gladly, but hesitatingly, he undertook this heavy responsibility. The volume is sent forth with the earnest prayer that it may serve the purpose intended and be a real blessing to all who seek its help. Acknowledgment of valuable suggestions in the preparation of this book, obtained from the publications of the United Society of Christian Endeavor is gratefully given. The books especially helpful were "Officers' Handbook," by Amos R. Wells, "The Christian Endeavor Manual," by Francis E. Clark, "The New Junior Worker's Manual," by R. P. Anderson, and "Expert Endeavor," by Amos R. Wells. Material was also secured from Epworth League Methods by Dan Brummit. Editor H. F. Shupe gave helpful counsel and his book "Effective Endeavor" was used as a guide. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
