Young People's Work in the Central Union Conference

By M. E. Kern

“Not if it were my boy,” was the quick response of Horace Mann to the question whether certain plans for the reformation of boys were too expensive. No, there is nothing Christian fathers and mothers would not give to see their children active workers in the gospel and saved in the kingdom of God. Yet many delay till nothing they can give will save their children. Too late! Sad words! “Much has been lost to the cause of God by lack of attention to the young.”

We are making a special effort to advance the young people's work in the Central Union Conference. May we not have the hearty co-operation of all our people? Are you reading the discussion on “Good Reading” and other young people's problems in the Educational Messenger? There is a special column now also called “Chats with Leaders.” The greatest need of many of our churches is a missionary leader. Let us take hold of these problems, and redeem the time. God will yet have a great army of youth proclaiming “the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour.” See “Education,” page 271.

The Messenger comes twice a month, and costs only 50 cents a year. It has much on our school work also. Address College View, Neb.
