Here's a description of the image:

The image is a scanned document with typed text. The document appears to be a historical record or information sheet, possibly from an archive or historical society. The top of the document reads "THE FORWARD MOVEMENT" and provides an address: "299-305 West Van Buren Street, Chicago."

Below this is the word "CHRONOLOGY" indicating a timeline of events. The document then lists several key events with corresponding years:

• 1894: "Gathering of six boys in a basement for a club"

  • "Charter secured with the title The Forward Movement, which was defined aggressive Christianity through Social agencies."
  • "Hall rented, to which clubs, classes, kindergarten and Sunday School were transferred."
  • "Opening of the Hall to laboring men who were stranded in the city after the World's Fair."

• 1895: "Religious meetings held for the homeless men occupying Hall."

• 1896: "Secured a new charter in order to make the work non-sectarian."

The document concludes with the initials "SLL." The texture of the paper is visible, and the typewritten text has the characteristics of older typewriters.

The image is a typed document, likely a historical record or notes, concerning "The Forward Movement" in Chicago. The document is formatted with the title at the top, followed by an address (299-305 West Van Buren Street, Chicago). It then presents a chronology of events, starting in 1894 with the founding of the organization by six boys, followed by the securing of a charter under the name "The Forward Movement". The charter defined the movement's purpose as "aggressive Christianity through Social agencies." The chronology details additional events, including renting a hall, opening it to laboring men, and holding religious meetings for the homeless. Finally, in 1896, a new charter was secured to make the work non-sectarian. The document is typed, with a slightly faded appearance, suggesting it is an old document. The initials "SLL" appear at the bottom.
