Berger, Kay

Bender to Burkholder, October 7, 1920

18 hand-written pages on the Young People's Conference movement evidently in response to a questionnaire YPC executives (Bender being executive committee chair) had sent out. Bender wrote: YPC leaders were trying to upbuild the church; appreciating Burkholder's tone; YPC did not want to compete with other church organizations for youths' participation; evidence of marginal young people becoming more loyal to the church; etc etc. At one point Bender turned the tables and asked what young people in Ontario were doing by way of mission, etc. Bender admitted that the YPC was too dominated by Goshen people. Mention of N. O. Blosser and J. B. Shank and Jesse Smucker as speakers (Smucker's "address ... certainly was a clear, sound testimony with theemphasis on inspiration, atonement, the cross etc." [cf. fundamentalism or at least orthodoxy]. Remarks about attire, and too-easy "familiarity of the sexes" and a "sprit of entertainment." The question of authority. (Note: the letter has some lines marked through with pencil, as if it were not the final draft; moreover, there is one page here of what appears to be carbon of a typed copy; and yes, there is a 6 pp, typed, single-spaced carbon version of the letter here.)
