An Important Day

By Editor

SABBATH, May 2, has been appointed by the General Conference Committee as Missionary Volunteer Day. This day should be observed by our churches everywhere. The program will contain articles from Elders A. G. Daniells and I. H. Evans. These should be read in the regular church service.
When the Master came down from the mount of transfiguration, and saved the young man from the clutches of the enemy, he said, "This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting." Today many of our young people are in the enemy's iron grip. Some of them can be saved "by nothing, but by prayer and fasting," and the good plans and methods we get through these means. The young are the special target of the enemy, and should receive the special prayer and loving interest of older church members. Surely we should work as zealously and unceasingly for their salvation as the enemy does for their destruction. In such work God will cooperate and give success. Isa. 49:25.
Will not your church join in observing May 2? Will not your church make it a day of earnest prayer for the children and youth of this denomination?
M. E.
