“Young men and young women, can you not form companies, and as soldiers of Christ enlist in the work, putting all your tact and skill and talents into the Master's services, that you may save souls from ruin? Let there be companies organized in every church to do this work. Young men and women, come to the work in the name of Jesus.” Let them unite together upon some plan and order of action.” “Let there be a company formed, somewhat after the order of the Christian Endeavor Society.” GCB April 19, 1901, par. 1
