Young People's Convention for the Central Union Conference
By M. E. Kern
“WITH such an army as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour might be carried to the world.”—“Education,” page 271. What possibilities lie within our grasp! Shall this mighty force be allowed to go to waste while thousands are perishing for lack of the blessings it might bring to them if properly trained? We are coming to realize the sad truth that we have not been as active as we should “in devising plans whereby the younger members of the church may be led to co-operate with us in missionary work,” and that “very much has been lost to the cause of God by a lack of attention to the young.” As we considered the young people’s work at the late session of the Central Union Conference, we felt strongly the need of more time in which to study the problems connected with this important subject. In order to meet this need, a young people’s convention has been arranged, to meet at College View, Neb., May 31 to June 5, where workers and young people from the conferences and the students and teachers of the college will study together the great question and seek God for a preparation for his work. The Lord calls for young men and young women to consecrate themselves to his work and become a part of the well-trained and disciplined army with which he will finish his work. Let many of our young people plan to attend this convention, and give their earnest attention to helping work out these intensely important problems. Further announcement will be made later in regard to the convention and the entertainment of delegates.
