TSP. E. I. Presbyterian Young People . lloldlleek-and conference Rally

Fifteen representatives of the Presbyterian Young People's S0- cieties of P. E. I. recently assembled at Keir camp for a weekend train- ing conference under the leader- Ihip of Miss Margaret MacDou-V gall, Rev. G. C. Cunningham and ftev. J. A. McGowan.

After the young people were tablished for the week-end in air various quarters. they gath- red around the organ for s fel- wship period and service of .orship. -

On Saturday morning. Mr. Cun- ningham brought to the Younl: People the first message on U19 theme, "Serving the Lord". In this Mr. Cunningham pointed out that all are servants to some- thing. either to sin and so to death. or to obedience to God's will unto righteousness. in- dividuals are to be true servants of Jesus Christ they .must seek His will and put themselves in His hands. They must beware of

choosing their own way and then asking God's blessing upon it. Rather let them be alert to God's speaking to them through influ- ences in their lives. open all closed doors and other things. On Saturday afternoon. after a period of free time. the Youns People again assembled and par- ticipated in two most profitable discussions on Young People's. work and on Sunday Schools. Re-p gardlng the former. the group dw cussed who should be in Young Peoples (whether the YOUIIK P90' ple's service was to be a time for all the young people of the congregation to get together 0? was it more of a time of study and fellowship for those who are committed to Christ that they might better bear witness to oth- ers). While no definite conc.u- sion on this was reached. all felt that those two groups should be kept in mind when Dlannini 3 program. Programs and program

were also discussed. The eople are looking forward

entitled, "The Church of Jesus

. Christ". it being 1 Biblical study

in the origin. foundation, and faith of the church. the doctrines of the Reformed Churc and the study of social prob ems. The Young People should find this Study Bookppractical and helpful.

Group study

In the Sunday School 'iscusslon the Young- People were divided- into small groups and assigned three questions to discuss nmons themselves and report upon. namely (1) the purpose of Sunday School, (2) the form the worship should take in the Sunday School. and (3) whether or not memory work in Sunday School is desir- able. The reports of the findings proved most interesting and with some further discussion the group arrived at the conclusion that the purpose of our Sunday School is to provide Christin teaching. that the youth of the church may be led to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and gain opportun- ity for fellowship among Christian young people and to prepare and train for church membership. It

was felt that too much of the Sunday schcolhour is given to worship under the whole school and perhaps students would gain more if the opening service .01 worship wen shorter. leaving the reading of the scripture lesson to be done in each class.

A thought was given to the idea of the time of ” d , School. and it was found thqt. in some places whero it could be done. the

- plan of having the chlldrenjoln

in the church service of worship and than go to their own Sunday school clsu for their study. was proving satisfactory. it was fair- ly generally agreed that the Chil- dren should mcmor' choice pas- sages of scripture. catechism. etc.. even if they do not completely understand them.

Later on' in the evening there was further discussion on the theme in which was stressed the desirability of tithing. rather than resorting to other popular means to raise the necessary funds for our Church work.

Throughout the day ten new members were welcomed to the Conference, thus brlnllnl the number to twenty-five.

On Sunday morning at 7:30 Mr. Cunningham conducted a most impressive Communion Service.

At 2 o'clock1n the afternoon. Mr. McGowan, brought the ace- ond usage on the theme. "Sor- ving the Lord." Mr. cGowan turned the thoughts of the Young People to Barnabas. as a living example of devoted service. He pointed out how Barnabas. through his faith in Christian men. was the one who believed in Paul's change heart. and in- troduced him to a work of. th church. Later on, his faith in John Mark kept Mark in the service of the church. and thus. through Barnabas, two outstand- ing missionaries were encouraged and stiangthened in Christian service. so we. to be true ser- vants, must ever be ready to sup- port and strengthen our brethren. This service was conducted entire- ly by the Young People with the following taking part: Bernice Llewellyn. Christine Maclnnls. Joan Large. Marion Jsockhart. Priscilla Reid. Laura King. Carol Adams.

After a period of free time the Young People again assembled to continue the discussion on Sunday School work. At this cried the group thought -ospecia y about reasons why so many children drop out of Sunday School when they reach the intermediate and senior classes. There were many obvious reasons given. the main. one being that children felt that Sunday School was something childish and that they were too advanced to attend. It. was also felt that more teachers were needed so that the children of each class would be as near the same age as possible. and that if the lesson could be so preps:-ed and studied. so that the story. as printed. would not only be con- sidered, but from it something of the teachings of our church regarding God. Jesus Christ. the Holy Spirit, and the causes of evil could be drawn out, the children would be given some- thing vital to study and cope with. thus challenging their abil- ities to study and helping them to realize that Sunday School is not. just for little children but that there are great areas for Study and thought for a whole life time.

In the evening about 8 o'clock. the theme of the nervice was "Missions" and the service was led by Roma Rodd, with Thelma Larter. Margaret Macbougail. Laur.a King and Mrs. Cunningham taking part in the service of wor- Ship. A very interesting study of the Foreign Mission work of our church was presented by Anne MscEachern who dealt with China and Japan. Addie I-Ialliweii. who dealt with British Guiana. and Doris Ferguson who dealt with Formosa. Then Miss MscDougail- told of the early missions, from Scotland to our land; and of our work in Canada. today among Chlnese,lFrench. Italians. Ukran- ions. and Hungarians. A song service and a delicious lunch brought the evening to a close.
