Born in Aylmer, Quebec, Francis Edward Clark (1851-1927) graduated from Dartmouth College and Anderson Theological Seminary before being ordained as pastor of Williston Congregational Church of Portland, Maine in 1876 and subsequently as pastor of the Phillips Congregational Church of Boston, Massachusetts in 1883. He first founded the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, the first Christian youth fellowship, in Portland, Maine in 1881 in an effort to involve more young people in his congregation. The society developed into a worldwide interdenominational organization and, after 1887, Clark was devoting himself exclusively to it as president of the United Societies of Christian Endeavor and the World's Christian Endeavor Union. An influential movement, the society was at the time a strong political and social force in the US and was involved in the Temperance Movement.
