Plan The much-discussed new plan for priest- hood quorum activities in connection with the work of the Mutual Improvement As- sociation has now been completed; and a booklet, containing diagrams of plan, sug- gestions, outlines, etc., has been published for distribution throughout the Church. Letter to Stake Dear Brethren: We are enclosing copy of communica- tions just sent forth to presidents of stakes by the General Authorities of the Church, introducing a new plan of procedure for priesthood and M. I. A. meetings. We feel sure that after careful study and adop- tion of these communications that there will come greater interest in both the priest- hood and M. I. A. work. We ask that full cooperation be given by our workers in this program. Undoubtedly, your stake and ward authorities will go forward with this plan at once. If you have not completed the manual lessons, this should be done in connection with the M. I. A. April and May program, as outlined in the February, March and April numbers of the Improve- ment Era, during the period following the priesthood meetings. One general idea to be noted, of course, is that all leaders must cooperate in seeing that the program goes forward on a strict schedule of time. A full hour should be given to our M. I. A. activity program. We suggest that you confer with the president of the stake at once and, on his recommendation and the approval of the bishops, call a meeting of the M. I. A. stake and ward leaders and, with our sug- gestions before you, as referred to in the foregoing paragraph, make definite plans for carrying forward our work. Sunday morning, at 8 o'clock, April 8, in the Assembly Hall, Tabernacle grounds, Salt Lake City, there will be held a general The following letter from the General Superintendency Y. M. M. I. A., which contains information and instruction per- taining to this new plan of activity, was sent to all Y. M. M. I. A. stake superin- tendents. Superintendents meeting of M. I. A. officers, at which time fuller instruction will be given. In the meantime, we trust that you will give these communications ;your thoughtful, prayer- ful study and note the following: 1. This is an excellent time to co- operate with the president of stake and bishopric of wards in the careful selection of men for the priesthood study period and the activity program of the M. I. A. Re- member the best men should now be avail- able for these positions, as they will give leadership to both groups, calling to their assistance any help which they may need. This general arrangement of our program may also give you opportunity, where de- sirable, to select new men for the work of other departments of the M. I. A. 2. Both Scouting and M Men's pro- grams are to be given on the same evening as the priesthood work or one of our great objectives will be lost — full cooperation of the priesthood authorities in the activity program of the M. I. A. 3. The housing of the program may give some concern to our leaders; but by careful study and cooperation we feel sure it can be worked out. 4. The plan of cooperation with the lesser priesthood calls for the same leader- ship in the priesthood period to continue in the leadership of the activity period. In cooperation with the Presiding Bishopric, it is recommended that we follow, as far as possible, the following plan: In one group — young men 12-13-14 years — deacons and scouts. MUTUAL WORK 525 In another group — young men 15-16 years — teachers and older scouts. (A definite name and distinctive pro- gram of Scouting is now being prepared for these older scouts, whereby they will be held in a separate group in most of their activities, although registered in the same troop. The leaders of the deacons and teachers will cooperate fully. It is de- sirable that members of the bishopric and Y. M. M. I. A. executive officers become members of the Troop Committee.) In another group — young men — 17-18- 1 9 years — priests and M Men (also un- married elders) . 5. On account of the 7 to 7:30 meet- ing for priesthood and Y. M. M. I. A. officers being crowded with the work which the bishopric will need to bring be- fore this group, we recommend that the Y. M. and Y. L. M. I. A. pfficers select some appropriate time for a weekly of- ficers' meeting, when all M. I. A. work may be discussed. 6. This general plan .will not disturb our privilege of holding our regular monthly Sunday evening joint meetings, and the Sunday evening meeting of stake quarterly conferences. 7. The responsibility of the Recreation Program of the Church has now become more definitely our problem. The Friday evening programs should be more care- fully planned into an all-year M. I. A. Recreation schedule for all members of the ward. 8. We trust that you will feel free to write us on any detail in relation to this entire matter, and also give us the oppor- tunity to check with you on the program of cooperation which you propose to carry forward. Praying the Lord to bless you in the leadership of this great work, we are sin- cerely your brethren, GEORGE ALBERT SMITH, RICHARD R. LYMAN, MELVIN J. BALLARD, General Superintendency, Y. M. M. I. A. The Program for April and May All Mutual Improvement officers, doubtless, have read carefully the instruc- tions given in the February and March magazines relative to the work to be ac- complished during April and May. It is hoped that by April 1, the groups in the various activities will have been organized and the leaders secured, so that with the first session, on April 3, the work may be fairly begun and continued throughout the eight weeks following. As before stated, all of the officers, class leaders, and com- mittee members should cooperate to make these activities a success. Even though several evenings will be occupied in ward, stake, and district try- outs, in contest work, which call for en- thusiastic support of all members, these should not seriously interfere with the progress of this program. Organizations Meeting on Sunday Evening Those organizations which meet on must be exercised to keep the activities Sunday evening will necessarily be of such a nature as to be in harmony with limited in their selection of subjects for the spirit of the Sabbath, study during April and May. Great care Looking Forward to the M. I. A. Day At the beginning of the April-May Program, the wise, forward-looking execu- tive officers and committees on recreation will have a vision of the big event that is to close the season's work — the M. I. A. Day. These two months' activity pro- grams should be carefully correlated with that big event. In the wide range of ac- tivities provided in these outlines is a rich field from which may be gathered delightful material. The music groups will be able to present choice numbers in both instrumental and vocal selections: the drama group will have developed a play; a lovely dance may have been the result of the two months training. An 526 IMPROVEMENT ERA exhibition of all contest work should be interspersed. Debating and public speak- ing will provide interesting numbers, while CONTESTS Stake and District Meets physical games and exhibits of handwork will furnish a fine background for all. Since the responsibility of providing judges for stake and district meets will devolve upon the respective local officers, we suggest the following plan which has proved effective and which eleminates much of the difficulty in securing judges: Each unit will provide one adjudicator, with the understanding that he does not cast a vote for his own unit (ward or Division Finals stake) . Judges will render their decisions, not by giving the points made by each contestant or group of contestants, but by indicating First Place, Second Place, etc. This should be done without consultation except in case of a tie, when the judges should consult. This plan will insure fair judgment. With a view of helping to serve our M. I. A. officers, relieve them of some of the detailed work in connection with our annual contests and to insure uniform judgment, it has been decided that the General Board will provide adjudicators for all events at the division finals. The responsibility of providing judges for stake and district meets will devolve upon the respective local officers. Dates for Division Finals (General Board to provide Judges) Division 8 — Monday, May 21, at Manti. Division 7 — Tuesday, May 22, at Payson. Division 6 — Friday, May 25, at Ogden. Division 5 — Saturday, May 26, at Preston. Division 4 — Monday, May 28. at Poca- tello. Division 3* — Thursday, June 7, at Salt Lake City. Division 2* — Thursday, June 7, at Salt Lake City. Division 1 — Tuesday, May 29, at Salt Lake City. ♦These Divisions should communicate general offices as to details. M Men Hold Banquet Programs The M Men organizations of twenty stakes held, on various evenings in March, at the suggestion of the Senior Depart- ment and General Board of the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association, a series of interesting, effective banquet programs. The purpose of these gatherings was to help strengthen the spirit of fellowship and give to the M Men of each stake a feeling of responsibility and joy in their work. A representative from the General Board was present at each affair, and helped to put it over in an inspirational way. A very fitting program was suggested by the Senior Department of the General Board, which was carried out, except where changes were necessary to meet local con- ditions. In most cases, the stake super- visor of M Men acted as master of cere- monies; and the stake M Men president, as toastmaster. Important numbers on the program were: the banquet, annual stake election of M Men officers, address by the General Board representative, fol- lowed by a discussion, address by an M Man, general discussion of "What shall this stake's 1928-29 M Men program in- clude?" and musical numbers. The general feeling in the stakes where these banquet programs were held points to an increase in M Men activity and use- fulness. MUTUAL WORK 527 Nevada Stake M. I. A. Gold and Green Ball Throughout all the stakes of the Church, the Annual M. I. A. Gold and Green Ball proved to be the outstanding social event in the month of January. Many interesting reports from stake super- intendents have been received, but space does not permit the publication of all of them. The accompanying picture from the Nevada stake, together with their re- port, we think, is representative of the success attained in all the other stakes. Superintendent S. E. Earl of the Nevada stake writes: "Our dance was a great success, both socially and financially. We are now able to pay our debts, and yet shall have money left to help carry on our work. We had no trouble in main- taining M. I. A. standards; it was the most orderly dance, for the size, ever con- ducted here. The local press gave the af- fair very favorable comment."

Bitter. 528 IMPROVEMENT ERA Read Book of Mormon in One Day "And, with a bit of a grin, he tackled the thing that couldn't be done; and he did it." At least, that is the essence of the following interesting letter from Clyde B. Crandall, ward clerk, Rupert, Idaho: "At this time, when so much interest is shown in the Book of Mormon, I thought it might be a stimulus to the Eta readers to know that I have read the complete book in one day. This was on January the sixth of this year. I had several reasons for doine this: the novelty of the accomplishment, the desire to grasp the story complete, and the wish to disprove the belief of a great many, that the reading of this book is an all winter's task. "The evening before I was to begin. I went to bed earlier than usual. A few minutes before twelve o'clock, midnight. I arose, and, promptly at twelve, began read- ing. I read for four hours and then took about half an hour for relaxation or meals. This I did, reading at the rate of about 25 pages an hour, through the morning hours until daylight, on through the day, and late into the following night, finishing the last page at fifteen minutes before midnight. Mv actual reading time was 21% hours. "I do not wish to leave the impression that this was an endurance test, or that I hurried through the book simply to say that I had read it. Plenty of time was taken to understand what was read and every minute was thoroughly enjoyed." In the efforts of the M. I. A. to en- courage all members of the Church to read the Book of Mormon, some have made the excuse that "it takes too much time." Though we do not encourage the reading of the entire book in one day, Brother Crandall's experiment proves that the ele- ment of time should not enter into so pleasurable a task. The benefit derived from reading the Book of Mormon far exceeds the amount of time expended. The Last Log House in Providence, Utah The log cabin, first home of the Utah pioneer, is rapidly disappearing from the settlements and cities of the intermountain country. In Provi- dence, Utah, only one log house re- mains to remind one of those early-day struggles and priva- tions: yet days fraught no less with pleasures and the joy of accomplishment. Perhaps our parents and grandparents, who built and lived in houses like this, who ate their meals off tables of slabs hewn by them- selves, did their sewing and reading by the light of the candle or oil lamps and slept on straw ticks or perhaps on the bare floor, were just as happy as we are today, with our modern homes and con- veniences, electric appliances, and myriad other useful and beautiful things which we now have. We also complain about our Last Log Cabin in Providence, Utah hard times and ever wish we had things better and easier. This, however, is a good flaw in human nature. Were it not for this feeling of discontent through out the civilized world in every age, there would be little progress in any line of endeavor. Had someone not been dissatisfied with walking, with the pack mule, or with the old log cabins, would we have had our automobiles, our net-work of rail- roads over the country, our aeroplanes, or our luxurious homes, etc.? It is the whip of Discontent and Dissatisfaction that drives us to better things, that forces us higher up the ladder in the world's work, — that makes for progress. The log house now standing in Providence is still oc- cupied,— the home yet of one of our early pioneers. — H. L. Hammond, Logan. Utah. MUTUAL WORK 529 Current Events A Study for the Advanced Senior Class M. I. A.. 1927-2? (April, 1928) 1 — Religion and Social Service a. A Fair Chance for Prohibition. The Commission on Youth appeals to the young people for sportsman-like treat- ment of the eighteenth amendment. The law needs an educative rather than an arbitrary preservation. Questions 1. How did the Commission on Youth come into existence and for what purpose was it organized? 2. Is the finding of the Commission in favor of or against prohibition? 3. Discuss the four alternatives that face the anti-prohibitionist? (Literary Digest, February, p. 30.) b. The Greatest Gift Year in History. Gifts usual and unusual, for progress and for protection. Gifts unusual — a mil- lion for the advancement of youth; an- other million to foster home ownership. Questions 1. How does the million-dollar gift for encouragement compare with the colonial custom of community home-building for the "newly weds?" 2. How much did America give away in 1927? (Literary Digest. February 18. p. 20.) c. Rules for Happy Marriage (By Frank Crane) . Fifteen rules for domestic success. Each rule tensely elaborated upon. A very con- sistent proportion of do's and don'ts given. Problems 1 . Arrange the fifteen rules in the order of their importance from your point of view. 2. Add to the fifteen one or more good rules. (Reader's Digest. February, p. 623. Con- densed from American Magazine.) d. Parsons' Sons. The popular belief that the families of ministers have produced more than their share of black sheep is said to be unfounded by facts. The future religious leadership in America will come from church homes. Questions 1. What is "Who's Who in America?" 2. How many prominent ministers were listed in the survey to find out whether church leaders have produced church leader; or not? 3. What per cent of the whole number of ministers investigated were not sons of min- isters or church leiders? 4. Wherein lies the value of such in- vestigations? e. The Catholic Church and the Modern Mind. Why the celibacy of priests? (Peter was a married man.) Other practices: Twelve years' course of preparation for the priesthood. Officiating in a language not understood by the people. The full hour of prayer daily, by priests. The confession and forgiveness of sins. The absolute in- tellectual submission. The relative value of routine compliance and free-right living. Question 1. Who is the author of this article? (Reader's Digest. February, p. 58.1 f. Widow's Claim Upheld. A husband meets death; the Utah In dustrial Commission awards the widow in- surance compensation. Insurance carriers demurred to the decision; the state supreme court upheld the decision of the commis- sion. The case was appealed to the Su- preme Court of the Republic. The widow had no money to defend her case. The Boston Legal Aid Society came to her rescue. She got her compensation. Questions 1. What is the Boston Legal Aid Society? 2. To what does the existence and activity of this society point? (See Deseret Eixning News. February 23. 1928.) 530 IMPROVEMENT ERA Y. M. M. I. A.
