GREETINGS FROM THE NEW PRESIDENCY OF THE YOUNG WOMEN'S MUTUAL IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION "And whosoever will be chief among you let him be your servant, even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many." In the call which has come to us we see opportunity for added service to you, our dear fellow workers. We accept our assignment in the spirit of service and in humility. We realize that in this Church the work of no one can be acceptable unless it is actuated by the Spirit of our Father in Heaven. There is love in our hearts for you and the M. I. A. cause. We appreciate your service and, if we succeed, one of the factors will be your loyalty and faithfulness. One of the joys in this work is being surrounded by intelligent, earnest, humble leaders and workers such as you are. We believe in the youth of the Church; we are sure they are going forward to fulfill a glorious destiny. At this Christmas season, when our hearts are mellowed and our thoughts turned to Him who taught by precept and example the greatest lesson of service, we send you greetings and hope that in our lives we may exemplify His teachings, and that we may do as. He did—lose ourselves in the service of mankind. Yours in devotion to the youth of the Church. Lucy G. Cannon Helen S. Williams Verna W.
