Missionary Volunteer Reading Course

By M. E.

OUR Missionary Volunteers are taking up the Reading Course with marked enthusiasm. A large number have enrolled. Good words came from the field. One secretary reports seventeen Reading Course members in one church; in another conference a certain church has twenty-two young people taking the Reading Course. A letter recently received, says: “Please send me two or three hundred enrolment cards.”

These messages bring cheer; for they show that many of our young men and women are studying those grand truths which helped the noble Waldensian youth to remain faithful in the face of fearful persecution. The prayerful, systematic study of the books in the Reading Course (“Great Controversy” and “Daybreak in the Dark Continent”) will also be a great help in preparing for efficiency in service.

The benefit derived from studying these books might be reaped by many more if homes would follow the suggestion given in “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. VII, page 64, which says: “Form a home reading circle, in which every member of the family shall lay aside the busy cares of the day, and unite in study.” M.
