Young People’s Day in the Central Union Conference

By E. T. Russell; M. E. Kern

That “much has been lost to the cause of God by lack of attention to the young” is a fact which is becoming more and more evident. It stands us in hand, therefore, to go to the root of the matter and learn how to perform our neglected duties.

The messages that have been sent us are full of instruction concerning this important line of work. To create a deeper interest in this work, and to study the Lord’s plan for the organization of our young people and the lines of work to which he has called them, is the purpose of Young People’s day, to be observed by all the churches in the Central Union Conference, Sabbath, Nov. 4, 1905.

Readings are in preparation to be given at the forenoon service, and it is expected that each church will have a convention for the consideration of the Young People’s work in the afternoon. A suggestive program will be sent out to each church with reference to literature to be used in preparation for this occasion. The elder, Sabbath-school superintendent, and officers of the Young People’s Society (or some one selected from among the young people, where no organization exists) should constitute a committee to make arrangements for the observance of Young People’s day in each church. Let the following statement in “Education,” page 271, be an inspiration to faithfulness in this work: “With such an army of workers as our youth rightly trained might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour might be given to the whole world!”
