East Michigan Young People’s Convention
By E. K. Slade
The Young People’s Convention at Owosso, February 4-7, was the first meeting of the kind held in the conference. We are glad to report that there was a good attendance, notwithstanding the very severe weather at that time; and we have reason to believe that it was a most helpful meeting to all who attended. Many were heard to remark that they never received so much help at any other meeting. The educational session was of special interest. Many helpful thoughts were presented in the self-improvement session20. Considerable time was given to considering various branches of work, and the relation of the young thereto. Through the influence of the Spirit of God, as precious lessons portraying God’s love were presented, many took forward steps in devotion to the cause, some, for the first time. The meeting proved a great blessing to the Owosso church and school. A few responded to a call for Christian canvassers, and are planning to devote their time to that important work. The help rendered by Elders William Covert and Luther Warren contributed much to the interest and success of the meeting. Brethren Blosser and Cohoon did good work in public and personal effort in the interest of the canvassing work. Elder B. F. Stureman, of Flint, Brother A. J. Harris, of the Jackson Sanitarium, and Prof. C. E. Welch, Educational superintendent of Ohio, took part in the discussions, and rendered good help throughout the convention. We are making an effort to secure the name and address of every young person in the conference, and we will be thankful for the co-operation of the churches in this matter. E. K. SLADE.
