Eager, alert, and ready to work, the Missionary Volu'nteers of Maplewood Academy study to grow in the Christian graces that will make them more use- ful to God and His work in the earth. Visiting the sick, sending out papers, studying nature, giving programs of good inspirational talks and sacred music, and learning how to meet missionary problems at our door, are some of the things engaged in by the Maplewood Missionary Volunteers. None are more loyal or untiring in their efforts to be faithful servants of the King than the young people when they have caught the vision ot the things that need to be done, and the souls that need to be acquainted with the gospel message for this hour. This year there has been a lively interest in the books recommended for our young people by the General Conference. Some of the students and teachers have completed both the Senior and Junior courses. Others have read one of the sets of books and also made real progress in the Bible Year. There is a destiny that makes us brothersg None goes his way alone: All that we send into the lives of others Comes back into our own. 1 Q' ill .

As I was tellin' .Iim the other evenin', Sabbath school is the one spiritual meal of the week I can't afford to miss. You take those good old hymns like that one we sang last Sabbath, 'O Thou in whose presence my soul takes de1ight', that's the best tonic to start the day oft right. l A if For a little solid refreshment, those verses from Psalms 51 and a short prayer by Professor Fowler put me in exactly the right mood to appreciate the rest of the exercises. A snappy report and a few brief remarks by the superintendent addedalit- tle spice to the Sabbath diet. But to tell you the truth, Cynthia,Iwasn't quite prepared to hear what that young Mr. Smith said about the mission work in Africa. He told us about the missionaries curing the lepers and how the gov- ernment helps financially and how the missionaries teach the lepers of Christ while they help them physically. How I wish our offerings might be larger! I suppose I shouldn't feel so badly about it, though, with all this financial de-- pression that we're havin' at home. Anyway I felt a little better after we all sang 'Here am I, Send Me', and Louis Pettis prayed for the mission work. It always makes one feel better to pray about such things. Of course you, know, Cynthia, that the most substantial part of the Sabbath school spiritual food is in the review, and lesson study. That lesson on Glory and Deliverance that Elder Yost reviewed did me a lot of good. If we can just hold out firmly to the end, all will be well-because as we learned in the lesson of today 'The infinite God is working for our good' and that thought fitted in so nicely with the closing song, 'A Shelter in the Time of Stormi I heard the secre- tary say that our membership is now 2453 that 150 studied the lesson every day and 14 visitors and 199 members were present. It's too bad you were absent. U X XVH, , x,,,, Xx.,,,,,, XVV4, - avg-.,,, V-ay, I., X a.. X.-.,, vu, a.,, ,X Xa., , .E MQ?.aQ2,,.aQ,,.c1Q,,.41 40 .ii it

Missiondrq Dolunteer Bands Pathfinclers In this group we find the jolly juniors who like the fresh air and wide-open places of the out of doors. They learn to distinguish the different flowers, birds and trees. They can tie many difficult knots, they hike, they swim, they study and memorize passages of scripture and all the while they strive to keep their junior motto and be real soldiers of the cross. 42 C
