Young People’s Convention at College View, Neb.
By M. E. Kern
“THE Advent Message to All the World in This Generation.” What a great work is before us,—a work which can be done only in the strength of Israel’s God! When our people are wholly consecrated to the work of soul-saving, we shall see a great outpouring of the Spirit of God, and the message will go with power. What a privilege that the young people can share in this blessed labor! “There are many Christian youth who can do a good work if they will learn lessons in the school of Christ from the Great Teacher.” Young people have a work to do that older ones can not do, and they can enter into many kinds of missionary work that the older members of the church are doing. To study how we shall organize, to consider the work young people can do, and how to do it, is the object of our Central Union Conference Young People’s Convention. An excellent program has been arranged. Those who have spent years studying this question will be with us, and young people will give us the results of their experience in the work. The sermon by Elder Daniells on “Our Aim and Our Motto” will be an inspiration to all who hear it. The subject “Training for Service” will be considered, and attention given to the different branches of work open to our young people. The first meeting will be Thursday evening, May 31, when Elder Luther Warren will speak on “The Keynote of the Young People’s Work,” and a quartette will sing, “Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown?” Any who23desire a program may obtain it by addressing the writer. The College View church and Union College students will endeavor to entertain all the young people who attend. Those who desire to stay in the College homes may have furnished rooms free, and board at about twenty-five or thirty cents a day, according to the amount of food ordered. Visitors should go immediately to the reception room of South Hall, where they will be located by the reception committee. Those who desire entertainment should write to Glen George or the undersigned by May 25. The reception committee will arrange to meet all at the train in Lincoln who request it, stating the railroad on which they will come, and the time of arrival. It has been arranged to publish the proceedings of the convention in a double number of The Union College Messenger. This is our first Union Conference Young People’s Convention, and the report will be valuable to all workers and young people who are interested in this work. The price of this double number will be 10 cents. The price of the paper is 35 cents a year. Let all who desire the report of the convention order it at once.
