NOTE TO ELDER OR LEADER.—Sabbath, May 2, appointed by the General Conference Committee as Young People's Day, should bring a great blessing to your church. The work to receive special attention upon this day is an important one, and grows more and more interesting as it spreads over the world, gripping the hearts of thousands and thousands of young people and children and leading them forth in Christian service. The parts on the program should be assigned at once to insure careful preparation.
Time is short! Only a few years remain in which to save our children and young people, whom Satan is working so hard to destroy. Will not you and the fathers and mothers in your church join us in making Sabbath, May 2, a day of fasting and prayer for the salvation of the youth? See Mark 9: 29.
The offering for the day should be devoted to some phase of young people's work. In connection with the offering it will be interesting to call the attention of all your church members to the fact that our young people are working this year to raise $25,000 for the Orient. On another page you will read what this $25,000 can do.
Decision days often have brought very good results. Then why should not Missionary Volunteer Day be a time when our young people should be invited publicly to give their hearts to the Lord? And would it not be well to invite all the members of your church to pledge themselves upon that day to work as never before for the salvation of the boys and girls, the young men and the young women, in your midst?
We are praying that God may give your church a special blessing upon Young People's Day.
