There are several reasons why ft
community should have a B. Y. P. U.
1. Beacause It grows out of a
necessity realised by leaders of the
church of God. It Is not simply by
young people but for young people.
It Is the leaders in a church doing
what needs to be done for the young
people
2. Because It is educational.
S. Because It is spiritual.
4. Because it is social.
5. Because it keep? youns people
from drifting. Why do youngchurch
members drift. Because the church
offers them nothlhg of activity or in
terest, provides nothing to counteract
worldly temptations. The world bidi
and offers them attractions that satis
fy and hold.
6. Because young people are the
only material out of which old people
are made.
7. Because it goes down deep en
ough to get the Juniors.
8. It Is practically. It works! It
does what the church needs dono?
equips members for service. It is the
church doing, church work of the
highest type.

know where to find the strongest bank. There is a very
large property responsibility behind this bank, the kind of
property that yon can see every day and know where it

are patronizing the Farmers National and calling for
