Missionary Volunteer Day

By M. E. K.

“I THINK Missionary Volunteer day was well received by the churches, and as far as I have heard, was quite a success,” writes one Missionary Volunteer secretary.

A local leader says that the special meeting has given his society new life and interest.

In some churches great interest has been awakened, and as a result the young people have been organized for effective work.

The Northern Union Conference was in session at Des Moines, Iowa, on Missionary Volunteer day, and the entire day was given to the consideration of this important phase of our work. Elder A. G. Daniels’s talk has been prepared as Missionary Volunteer Leaflet Number 26.

Did your church observe the day? Some churches that could not carry out the program on February 26, have had it since. It is not too late yet. Elder Daniels said, “I am profoundly thankful that we can, at least one Sabbath in the year, give ourselves up entirely to the interests of our children, and I pray that this may be a day of victory and blessing to the young people of this cause.”

Those who have been pursuing the Missionary Volunteer Reading Course have had their interest aroused in the Moslem world. It seemed fitting that the offering on Missionary Volunteer day should be devoted to opening the work among the two hundred twenty-five million followers of Mohammed, for whom scarcely anything has been done. The offering goes as regular mission funds, but should be marked “Missionary Volunteer Offering for Mohammedan Fields.”

Please send a report of the day’s program in your church to your Missionary Volunteer secretary.
