Résumé :
Excerpt from Baptist Young People at Work: A Manual of Methods for the Young People's Society

The purpose of this chapter is to Show that every church should have its young people organized into some group, whatever its name, that aims at definite Spiritual culture and service. To say, as a pastor once admitted, I have nothing for my young men to do but pass the hymn-books, is a confession of inefficiency. Surely we have no grander issue at stake than the conservation of the forces of Chris tian youth, the richest of our spiritual resources. It is in the ages between fourteen and twenty that the church receives most of her converts; and in the latter part Of the same period, when young people are looking upon life as a great dawn, the most heroic decisions are often made. Something cor responding to a young people's society is demanded by the needs of the young Christianpof the church, and of the world.
