LAMPLIGHTERS' LEAGUE Local young people a nd college students who feel deeply the need for their personal participation in Ch ri st's ministry to the Bethany community have found their place in the Lamplighters' League. Serving as an arm of the N. Y. P. S., the League is a medium for personal soul -winn ing . When one joins the Lamp li g hters, he pl edges to deal wi t h one soul a month about his persona l salvation and to systema ti ca ll y memorize th e Script ures, the only weapon he uses. Thi s wor k was inst ituted among the young people o f the Bethany ch urch, July 3, 1949, by the Reverend Pa ul Martin a t a service co nducted by th e teen-agers during the Teen -age Institute. Un til the opening of sc hool in September, th e Lamp lighters were led by the Reveren d Jack Lee, director o f re lig ious educa t ion in the co ll ege church .
