Mutual Work

Recreational Work in the Church Assigned to the M. I. A. On March 22, General Superintendent George Albert Smith of the Y. M. M. I. A. sent a circular letter to the stake superintendents calling their attention to the communication sent out by the First Presidency to the presidents of stakes under date of March 8, assigning to the M. I. A. the supervision over the general recreational activities of the Church. They also informed the presidents of stakes that stake and ward social committees were released, and called their attention to the importance of selecting for the new committees the very best material in the stake for leadership of our recreation and leisure time work. Superintendent Smith asks the stake superintendents to comply with the following requests: "Please, in company with the stake president of the Young Ladies, confer with your stake president, if you have not already done so, and perfect this organization, letting us know at once the name of the chair- man of your stake committee on recreation and his address. "Our committee of the General Board is holding weekly meetings and perfecting further plans in this important work, and we arc anxious to have our organizations in stakes and wards perfected at once. The selection of the chairman of this work, both in the stake and ward organization, is very important, and should receive your careful and prayerful consideration." Where these requests have not yet been complied wmi, stake superin- tendents are urged to take the matter up with the stake authorities without delay and report the selection of the chairman of stake recreational com- mittees to the General Board immediately. The order of assignment and method of organization are given in the 1923 Y. M. M. I. A. Rdnd Book, page 155, to which officers are referred for further instructions.

Beal, Member of tJie General Board VII— PRAYER "Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Unuttered or expressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast.'' In these beautiful words of the poet we have the true spirit of prayer. More has been accomplished by prayer than the world has ever dreamed of. We are told in sacred writings that if we will bow down before God and call on his name in faith that we shall receive that which we desire. This promise has been put to the test by thousands and the request has been fulfilled. Gratitude compels us all to acknowledge divint assistance in many things. Hundreds of testimonies have been borne of the efficacy of prayer. Only by divine assistance as a result of faith ana prayer were the lives of the early settlers of our commonwealth saved froin utter starvation. All great men, both religiously and politically, as welt as poets, have

664 IMPROVEMENT ERA been believers in prayer. We all remember the prayer of George Wash- ington at Valley Forger Lincoln, too, was a believer in prayer and sought divine guidance in handling the affairs of this great nation in times of peril and destruction. It was not by chance that the great men of the world were believing men. They were great men because they had the courage and im- agination to believe greatly — to believe in a personal God and to call upon him for assistance. The poets have frequently expressed their belief in prayer. Coleridge in the Ancient Mariner says — "He prayeth best who loveth best All things, both great and small; For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all. And Ella Wheeler Wilcox says — "I do not attempt to say < That literal answers come from heaven, But this I know that when I pray A comfort and a solace is given. Even the disbeliever is known to have sought the Lord in prayer in moments of danger. Why? Because he felt that only the Lord could help him. However, prayer without faith and action to accompany it will avail us little. More than words alone is necessary. God expects every one to do his part. He who prays just to be seen has already received his reward in r.eing seen. The Lord does not expect us to seek him boldly and audac- iouslyjbut rather in humility, believing that he can and will answer our supplications, if we offer them in faith and keep his command- ments. Believing in the promises of the Lord men have undertaken great tasks in the interests of humanity. Joseph the Prophet, though only a boy, one day in reading the scriptures came across the passege in James 1 : 5, 6, which reads: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gjveth to all men liberally and unbraideth not, and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." Confidence in this promise led him to seek the Lord in prayer, concerning the different churches then extant, as to which one was true so that he might know which to join. In answer to his supplication he received a personal visitation of the Fatner and the Son and was advised to join none of them, for though they had a form of Godliness they denied the power thereof. Would space permit, numerous instances might be given to show that prayers have been answered. The radio and wireless are among the best evidences in the world that it is possible for God to hear our prayers. If man can talk to man thousands of miles away without wires on which to carry that message, is it not just as reasonable that the Creator of all can also hear messages that are sent to him? But whether our petitions will be answered or not is another question. That will depend on their reasonableness. Just as a wise parent often refuses the request of a child, so will our heavenly Parent refuse our requests if they are not for good. Our daily thought should be to our Maker to help us to guide ourselves aright so that we may be of the greatest service to him and to mankind. "There are only two alternatives in this world; either the whole uni- verse is a whim, or a caprice, and doomed to destruction, or eise there is a God behind it all, watching the battle, guiding it and managing the whole creation as a vast mechanism for the production of personality and char- acter, which are eternal. We can take our choice. We can, if we choose, regard life as one instant in a 'brief and discreditable episode,' or we can

MUTUAL WORK 665 think of ourselves as Jesus Christ thought of himself, as a Son of Cod, and heir to eternity." But don't imagine that it makes no difference how we choose. Life is not merely a tissue of paper to be crumpled and tossed into a great discard. Life is real. What would be more futile than spending a lifetime building a character that is to end at the grave? Prayer increases faith, and likewise faith precedes prayer. To strengthen our faith it is necessary to pray always. Spiritual growth comes from prayer and faith. The "M" Men would do well to adopt as their slogan for the coming year: We stand for spiritual growth through individual and family prayer. A Director of Music for the M. I. A. B. Cecil Gates, graduate of the Charwenka Conservatory of Music, Ber- lin, was recently nominated by the superintendency of the Y. M. M. I. A. and sustained by the Ceneral Board as music director of the Y. M. M. I. A. of the Church, at a meeting of the Board, held March 21. 1923. B. Cecil Gates is a member of the faculty of the L. D. S. School of Music, and has been head of the music work of the L. D. S. U. for about ten years. Be- sides that, he has been assistant director of the Tabernacle choir for about four years, and is a competent musician, teacher and composer from whom we may expect great assistance in the furtherance of music in the Y. M. M. I. A. Home Dramatic Company, Ephraim W. M. Orrock of Mt. Pleasant, Utah, reports that the Mutual Improvement Associations of the Mt. Pleasant wards, North Sampete stake, presented a four act drama in the High School auditorium on February 27, entitled, "Christopher Junior." It is a high class performance with an excellent cast under the direction of Mrs. Francis Nelson. Members participating are as if i \ follows, left to right: William M. Orrock — Christopher. Junior; Ray Jorgensen — Mr. Glibb; Florence Merz — Mrs. Jedbery; Arthur Wheeler — Whimper; Eva Truscott — Nellie; Vernon Anderson — Job; Helen Larson, — Dora; Merrill Olson — Jedbery, Sr; Luella Jorgensen — Mrs Glibb; Carol Madsen — Bellaby; Marcus Marx— Simpson. Theodore Christensen, who took the part of major, was not present when the picture was taken. This is but one of the many creditable dramatic intertainments that have been given by the young people of the M. I. A. throughout the Church the

666 IMPROVEMENT ERA past winter and this spring, as a part of their activities in the Mutual Improvement work. — Monthly Joint M. I. A. Meetings A series of twelve programs under the general title, "The Faith of Our Fathers," will be offered for use in fast Sunday joint meetings of the M. I. A. for the year. These subjects may be given as addresses, or may be subdivided, giving opportunity for several members to take part in one evening. The thought throughout should be to show what kind ot taith our fathers had and not merely to present facts in story form or otherwise. For the first meeting in June the following is suggested: The Faith of our Fathers in a Living, Personal God. References: His- tory of the Church, vol. 1, or any Church volume containing an account of the Prophet Joseph's first vision; Life of Joseph Smith, page 302; Life of Heber C. Kimball, page 437; Leaves from my Journal, chapter 19; A Striilg of Pearls, pages 94-95. It would be well to have parents and acquaintances of members of the associations, as well as Church leaders, give their experiences on the sub- ject. The above is a mere suggestion for June, 1923; and twelve lessons provided by the General Hoards will be published hereafter, covering the monthly joint meetings for the year. Off for Zion, Bryce and Cedar Breaks H. S. Alvord, scoutmaster of Minersville, Utah, reports that the troop, of which the above is a group picture, was taken while spenumg a day in the Union Pacific shops, and printing offices in getting pointers from the doctors on the care of the mouth and teeth, as well as first aid, all of which happened in Milford. "Our local troop expects to take a trip to Zion, Bryce, and Cedar Breaks this spring. In two undertakings we nave been able to clear something like $56 for this purpose, and are arranging for more entertainments.. The boy scouts arrange and produce the entertainments, as well as the instructive things."

MUTUAL WORK The Thousand Per Cent Team 667 Orion Jensen, president of the Second ward Y. M. M. I. A., Brigham City, Utah, sends this picture of the Second ward M. I. A. baseball team for last year, 1922. He calls it the 1000% team. Under the management of Dr. R. A. Pearse and W. H. Stayner, these boys did not lose a game during the whole season in the Box Elder stake M. I. A. league, which comprised eight teams. Names of the boys from left to right: Armstrong Pearce, Ray Facer, W. H. Stayner, manager; Leland Davis, Theodore Nel- son, Norman Peterson. Front row: Earl Facer, Harper Pearse, Julius Burt, LeRoy Hess, and Henry Nelson. "M" Men Banquet Owen McGary, secretary Shelley stake, Idaho, reports "an 'M' Men'.* banquet for the Shelley stake, Idaho, held on the evening of Mjirch 10, 1923. Supervisor Z. Reed Miller mailed each 'M* man in all the wards of the stake an inivtation, to bring, a sandwich, a piece of cake, and a cheery spirit, and meet the stake members in the Basalt chapel at 6 o'clock. They came, with a number, of bishops, their counselors, Young Men's superintendency and members of the stake presidency, all of whom made a jolly, live bunch. Get-acquainted games, program numbers, talks by bishops, a humorous de- bate, entitled, 'Resolved that the Ford is an animal'; and the partaking of the splendid cafeteria luncheon of sandwiches, pickles, salad, cakes and juicy apples, were among the doings. During the feasting a bishop's counselor said, 'If the 'M' Men can do this often, I do not care how often they do it.' He is a man who loves good food and a good time."

668 IMPROVEMENT ERA M. I. A, in Canada Secretary John T. PaTadise of the Canadian mission, writes from Toronto, Canada, April 9: "The fruits of the labors of the missionaries of the Canadian mission have been manifest by the number who have been converted and the number of friends and investigators who are visited regularly by the missionaries. Canada seems to be a rich field, and no doubt, many honest souls will enter in by the gate into the sheep- fold as the months and years go by. There are eight conferences in the mission now and three organized branches. In the Toronto conference the Mutual Improvement Association is fully organized, and a good attendance is usually present at each of the meetings, which for convenience, are held on Thursday evenings. The M. I. A. program is carefully carried out, and the lessons as given in the Era are studied and appreciated by the Advanced Senior class." The Genuine Sport Spirit In the last number of the Era a trip of the Almo and Malta M Men teams to Grouse Creek, for a basket ball contest was mentioned. We learn from Superintendent J. Henry Thompson, Raft River stake, that four days were taken for the journey, under circumstances that ougnt to in- terest boys who have less difficulty in getting to their contests. Such ex- periences as the Almo and Malta young men had are calculated to test the genuine sport spirit, and make character. Superintendent Thompson accompanied the boys, and writes: '"Yours Truly' was a signt to behold. I got very 'snow burned.' I work indoors entirely, and the sun reflection on the snow fields sure did bore in. Brother Lorenzo Durfee, my second assistant, accompanied us. We left Almo on March 14 about 8:30 a. m. in a raging blizzard, in 'white tops.' We arrived at the foot of ine mountain dividing the two valleys about 1 p. m. where Bishop Ernest Simpers met us, and reaching his home his wife insisted that we all have dinner. We readily abided by her counsel, and ate. Meanwhile, the bishop prepared his bob sleigh and hooked our four head of horses onto it. Next we all piled on and away we went. The snow was deep right from the start, and the horses couldn't make the summit half way up. We then started afoot, In- dian file. Bishop Simpers turned his outfit and went home, 'we had 'some' scramble through the snow! A new ten or twelve inches had just fallen, and say ,the wind did sift it along! Our tracks were blown out in three minutes. Personally, I had a hard time. I was the heaviest of all the reilows. My avoir- dupois was against me and I sounded bottom quite frequently. We had to follow the ridge mostly, and just literally wade through the unavoidable drifts. We took turns in breaking trail. Getting down into the canyon on the other side of the summit, end, turning a corner into the high brush, we met Bishop W. F. Richcns, of Grouse Creek, with a four-horse bob sleigh outfit. He had gone just about as far as he could with his outfit. How we did appreciate rolling into that sleigh, tired and leg-weary! We drove into Grouse Creek, twelve miles furher on, in good time for supper, and then off to the games. The Grouse Creek Church is a beautiful white- rock structure, good to look upon, with electric lights, amusement hall in the basement, and altogether a remarkable Church house — a real credit to the community. Our boys from Malta and Almo iam>red under a handicap, in that the baskets or hoops were only two feet froir* the ceiling, and so, in the natural order of things, they had a poor show for scoring, the Grouse Creek people being used to the peculiar situation of the baskets, the visitors lost both games, but felt pretty good over it, and promised the Grouse Creek boys a hot contest when they return the games, 70 miles away, over on the Malta side of the mountain. We arrived home on the 17th of March just in time to help the Relief Society eat luncheon at their an-

MUTUAL WORK 669 niversary party. We had a four-day trip in storm and sunshine, and no one regretted it. Grouse Creek has a good name for hospitality. Inter-ward activities are quiet a problem with us. It means the expenditure of much time and some means in travel, but we are grateful for the large measure of response which is forthcoming. The M. I. A. workers are longing for the time when we shall have an adequate stake house for recreational ac- tivities and tournaments. We are working on the fund for this purpose and have about one-half of our quota paid.'1 Y. M. M. I. A.
