# The Gospel Call: Hymn Set to Music

<!-- page:313 -->

MUTUAL WORK. 313 ciations. They were intended to keep alive the interest in our organizations during the vacation season; as well as to instruct and entertain the young people in literature, music and religion. This movement was not begun by the General Board, but the members heartily approved of it. Stake Boards have a good opportunity in this work to provide activity for the young people in other than a pleasure-seeking way, of which there is so much during the heated months. They should devise original plans, and meet together early to arrange their programs and get the best thought at work to make them attractive and valuable. At the June, 1907, annual conference, a resolution was unanimously passed approving the efforts of the Weber aid Fremont stakes in the matter of providing summer work, and it was also expressed as the sense of the convention that the officers of all the stakes provide in a general way for summer work in their associations. Get your officers together, and begin to plan for what you are going to do during the summer vacation. Be liberal ; let the boys have a word. Get together. Decide on your plan, then unitedly and vigorously work it. THE GOSPEL CALL. (For the Improvement Era.) WORDS AND MUSIC BY EVAN STEPHENS. 1. Hark to the bu - gles re-sounding! Ye faith - ful, 2.
