The following information was provided with the photo:
The Young People’s Society affiliated with the Youth Fellowship of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, Philadelphia, in 1943, and became the Youth Fellowship of David’s Church.
The young people have been very active since then. Among their achievements has been the painting of the Beginners’ and Primary rooms, sending the Link magazine to the boys when they were in the U. S. armed forces, provided money for the pastor to visit Martin Etzweiler in the hospital in Atlantic City, and Paul Boyer in the hospital in Washington, D. C.; fed and cared for a heifer donated to the group by Nevin Etzweiler, which was later sent to Italy; provided half a got ($25.00) to be sent to Japan, placed a new worship center in the Sunday School room, gave several hundred dollars to the building fund, and paid part of the rent for the baseball diamond last year.
A Girls’ Guild was organized in 1945.
