Southern Idaho

By MAY BELL

Here is the copy of the resolutions concerning Missionary Volunteer work, which were passed at our camp-meeting:—

“Whereas, The unmistakable hand of God is seen in the mighty forward movement among our youth; therefore,—

“Resolved, That we express to God our heartfelt gratitude for the success in our organized Missionary Volunteer work, and for the willingness of our young people to carry on this work and to labor for other young people.

“Realizing the importance of our youth becoming established in the faith; therefore,—

“We recommend, That the young people of the Southern Idaho Conference be encouraged to reach the Standard of Attainment, which shall require the passing of an examination in the history of our denomination and in the cardinal points of our faith, as provided for by the General Conference Young People’s Department.

“Whereas, Experience has shown that spiritual benefits come from the observance of the morning devotional period; therefore,—

“We recommend, That the young people of this conference adopt the use of the Morning Watch Calendar as an aid in daily morning prayer and Bible study.

“Resolved, That we do all in our power to check the tendencies to worldliness among our young people, holding before them the principles of sacrifice, plainness of dress, and simplicity of life, committed to us as a people.

“Resolved, That we favor the holding of conference and local Missionary Volunteer conventions for the advancement of this important work.

“Whereas, Much of the burden of this message is to be carried by the young people; therefore,—

“Resolved, That their spiritual interests receive our special attention to the end that they may speedily prepare for a definite place in the work.” MAY BELL.
