High School Vouth Council To Observe Lent at Simpson

The Youth Council of Simpson M. E. church which is composed of Hischool boys and girls regardless of denomination will present Rev. Robert L. Mosby as their principle speaker, Sunlay, Feb. 26, from 3 to 4 pm., at Simpson ME church. This meeting is oue of the regular devotional or prayer meetings. On the first and last Sundays of each mouth, the Council meets at Simpson church and observes these meetings, because of the fact these prayer meetings are the center of the entire program of the society. It is approached in various forms, depending on whether the meeting is primarily for worship, study, information, discussion or for some other good end. Topic's, leaders talks, personal testimonies and comments, the prayers, the scripture verses, hymns, all play a part in bringing these young people to the point of decisive application of the divine will, and a message of the problems and outcomes of human living in the present world. All other Sunday afternoons from 3 to 4 pm., the meetings, although opened with a devotional period are pirmarily educational, social and civic, and upon an invitation of a council member we can met at his home. This group was organized in December of 1938 by the sponsor Mrs. Cary D. Jacobs. At that time we had a membership of six, now we have over one-hundred. We have some Catholic members as w-ell as Baptists, and other denominations. Many high school boys and girls have already found this group a more worthy way of spending their

>

leisure time on Sundays from 3 to 4 than at the movies as they had done heretofore. It is hoped that all high school hoys and girls, who wish to gain original thoughts, on religious subjects; the discovery and application of Christian principles in relation to daily living, and helpful association with Christian people, will be our guests Sunday and perhaps decide to become a member of this great youth movement. The officers of the group are: Raymond Ray, president; Frieda Owens, vice-president; George Lacey, recording secretary; Hannah Payne, corresponding secretary; Geneva Walls, teasurer; Marshall Taylor, devotional chairman; Robert Satterfield, entertainment chairman; lone Robinson, missionary and sick chairman; Sylvanons Lacey, membership chairman; Harry Maxey, publicity chairman; Charles Williams, program; Curtis Stevens, financial chairman; Margurett Sweat, citizenship chairman; Carolyn Casey, good literature chairman Arthur White, information chairman ; William Good, music chairman; Jay Smith, parliamentarian. Mrs. Cary Jacobs, sponsor. Rev. R. S. Mosley, pastor.
