Dear brother:-In answer to your request a few weeks ago I am writing the following regarding our Young Peoples' Meeting.
We have had a Young Peoples' Meeting for just over seven years coming together usually every other week on Friday evening or Sunday afternoon.
The Friday evening meetings have been held in different homes up till last Friday when we started having them at our own new hall with a social time after and light refreshments served.
The Sunday afternoon meetings have usually been held in the hall and most took their supper with them and stayed for the Gospel Meeting. During the summer we have had Sunday afternoon meetings on the lawns of two or three homes, had our supper there in the open and from there proceeded to the Gospel Meeting. We believe it is a good thing to vary the character of the meeting as much as possible always considering the time and place which is most suitable and attractive to all at the various seasons of ths year. We prepare ten mimeographed questions- a copy of which is given to all who are interested about two weeks before the meeting. These often lead to other very interesting questions and answers so that an hour passes before we are aware of it.
Our "young" means more in character than in years with no limit to the latter so that we have some up to the three-score-and-ten at least. At present we are trying two groups-one for the young in years and the other for the more adult sections. Many especially among the older ones have testified to the knowledge gained and spiritual help received at these meetings.
Let us not grow discouraged because of lack of numbers, if one is helped it is worth while and some day God may be pleased to add to them. In the meantime let us do what we can in dependence on the One who is able to do all things.
Will be glad to hear of suggestions from others. Yours in our Lord Jesus Christ, L. E. Ansell.
