A. summer program will be ready for distribution at the special M. I. A. Officers' meeting which will be held on Sunday 8:30 a. m., at the April conference. For those associations which continue the regular weekly meetings during the summer months an attractive program has been prepared, cov- ering 16 lessons for the months of June, July, August and September. These lessons are based on A Brief History of the Church, by Elder Edward H. Anderson, which can be bought for 25c either from the Deseret Book Company or the Bureau of Information. For those who are making a more thorough study of Church history, this brief consideration will serve as a splendid introduction or as a review, rather than a duplication. For the four joint sessions, the Fast Sunday evenings of June, July, August and September, there are these subjects: "Sources of Joy," for June, based on the present interesting lessons in the Advanced Senior De- partment. In July, a patriotic program is to be given, in which the Boy Scouts and the Bee-Hive girls are given especial opportunity to participate. The subject for August is, "Meaning of Prayer," and for September, "How we may strengthen the influence of the M. I. A. in our community," which will be excellent preparation for the regular work beginning in October. All these programs will be given in detail in the circular, including instru- mental and vocal numbers. The Special Summer Activities comprise seven events: First, "Mes- sages from the June Conference," through which the spirit and the most important instructions and information of the June conference will reach the M. I. A. membership throughout the entire Church; second, a recre- ational gathering in June in the nature of an entertainment or reception to be given by the young ladies in honor of the young men, either as a ward or stake affair; third, in July, a great, Patriotic Demonstration in which it is hoped the entire community will participate; if there is no public flag pole in the community, it is hoped that one will be provided as a part of this celebration; fourth, during August, the youNg men are to entertain the young ladies; this may be some such out-ofwdoor affair as a picnic or lawn fete; fifth, in September, "The Day of the Swarm" and "The Day of the Troop," (See Hand Book for Scoutmasters, chapter 13, page 319) ; and, sixth and seventh, Fathers and Sons' Outing, and a Mothers and Daughters' Day, for each of which a detailed program will be fur- nished. (See outing program in this number of Era, pp. 542-60.) All the above summer activities are to be prepared, assigned and car- ried out under the supervision of the M. I. A. officers. Early preparation should be made and every possible detail looked after that each feature in the above program may have full success. These activities will help hold the organization together so that it may function as a real, live associa- tion during the entire year, and will add much to the success of the regu- lar work of the winter season.
