Our Missionary Volunteers and Foreign Missions

By M. E. Kern

The Young People's Society of Missionary Volunteers has for its motto, “The advent message to all the world in this generation.” Mission study has been a regular part of the work of our young people since the beginning of their organization, and missionary giving is one of the outlets for the interest thus created. About one half of the regular programs are devoted to missionary topics. The reading course conducted by this department is also strongly missionary in character.

Aside from the general offerings to foreign missions, the Missionary Volunteers of various sections have interested themselves in specific fields. For instance, the young people in one conference are supporting a dozen native workers; in another conference a society supports a Chinese native worker; a Nebraska society contributes fifteen dollars a week for the work in Nyassaland; and the young people of a Western conference provide for the support of a school in Rome. The reader need not be told that these young people are especially interested in these respective fields.

M. E. Kern, Chairman.
